6 TARIFF ON PAPER WITHOUT EXCUSE THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, . FRIDAY, JUNE . 18, 1909. Brown Shows Manufacture Is Cheaper in United States Than Canada. ONLY BOLSTERS UP TRUST Kebraskan Quotes Evidence of Botb Countries In Proof Tillman Calls Publishers Humbugs .With Great ScornJ WASHINGTON. June 17 The fight to place wood pulp and print paper upon the free list was opened up in the Senate today under the' leadership of Brown- of Nebraska.. Going over to the portion of the chamber in which Aldrleh. Hale. Frye. Lodge. Galjlnger. Smoot and other leaders have their seats, the Nebraskan stood In the midst or the opposing force and with good nature parried thrusts that came to mm from all quarters as he delivered a telling speech in behalf of the cause he had espoused. The debate began when Aldrleh pro posed an amendment increasing the duty on print paper from one-tenth to two-tenths of a cent per pound, which he said equaled $4 a ton. The Dingley law placed the duty at 6 a ton and the House reduced It to $2 a ton. Costs More in Canada. Brown frequently quoted from var ious authorities to sustain his conten tion that wood and print . paper are boih produced In the United States with cheaper labor and cheaper ma terial, resulting in a cheaper product than can be obtained in Canada. Turn ing to his Republican colleagues, he asked them how. In view of that fact, they could justify a duty on these prod ucts for the "protection of labor." Aldrleh and Hale flatly contradicted these statements In reference to wages and cost of production. There was a large attendance of Democrats. Paper Needs No Protection. Denouncing as inexcusable and" Inde fensible any proposition of the finance committee to Increase the low rate fixed by the House bill. Brown de clared that that Industry needs no pro tection. These paper mills, he Insisted, have no advantage over other foreign Print mills, whether they are in Scan dinavia, Germany, or Canada. He con tinued: ,. ?an"'a ' only competitor In this mar ket. The seas and the Inferior product of other countries than Canada protect the mills of the United States against all com petition worth mentioning.
