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. This question

Brandenburg's Evidence Read.
After Mr. Lincoln hart stats
direct examination that Brandenburg had
told him he needed the Elemntiii- fnr hi.
own protection, Mr. Lincoln was excused
and the prosecution began to read Bran
denburg's testimony before the grand jury
which indicted him. In this testimony
Brandenburg stated that he had typewrit
ten the article himself.
"Who signed it?" was the question.
"Mr. Cleveland." was the answer the
prosecutor read.
The author told the grand Jury, accord
ing to the minutes, that Mr. Cleveland
signed the article at his office. No. l
Madison avenue. There was no one else
present. The author's testimony, as read,
ran on to the effect that after Mr. Cleve
land had refused him an interview he had
asked that Mr. Cleveland prepare the
series of articles to be sold by Branden
burg, but Mr. Cleveland had replied that
he did not think this would be dignified.
Cleveland Signed Article.
According to the writer's testimony, Mr.
Cleveland finally wrote some 20- or 30
sheets of notes, which Mr. Brandenburg
carried home, afterward typewriting them,
taking this copy to Mr. Cleveland for cor
rection, recopying the corrected articles.
Hie suggestions as to cutting out certain
passages had been adopted, Brandenburg
said. Mr. Cleveland was not well when
he took the article back, , Brandenburg's
testimony went on, and he objected to
looking it over, but finally did sign it, the
manuscript notes being left with. Mr.
Cleveland.
He also told of conversations with Mr.
Hastings after the ex-President's death,
and the writer declared Mr. Hastings spe
cifically authorized him to sell the arti
cle. Mr. Cleveland's signature, Branden
burg testified, was attached about March
6. 1908.
