Tho American Newspaper Publishers' association, compris ing many of thn large newspapers' of the United States, for the last three days In con vention at thu Waldorf-Astoria, In this city, gave thorough consideration to tho Hidden Increase In tho prlco of whltfe paper and tho reasons therefor. Tho following resolutions were unanimously passed and Ji coiumltteo of the newspaper proprietors will personally present the eame to congress within the next few days: Whereas, The price of printing paper used by newspapers in the 1 'lilted .States lms been arbitrarily Increased from m to If") per rent without reason or warrant to bo found In the conditions of the Industry Itself; mid, Whereas, tt In the common tiellef that thin Inerenso Is due to tho workings of a trust; therefore, be It Resolved, That the American Newsnancr Publishers' association, representing in this caso not only Its own jnejnbern, but the 2! , W0 newspapers of the I'tilted States, calls upon congress to make Inquiry, by means of u 'Special' committee, .Into the conditions de scribed to tho end that suitable legislation muy bo provided to remedy this condition of affairs. In the Interest of the best source of public Information provided for the peo ple, to-wlt: Tho newspaper press, who o interest thu founders of tho republic held In the highest regard. , The attention of congress Is directed to five bills now In the hands of thn ways and means committee, not necessarily to aid thu passage of any of them specifically, but us evidence of a great demand for some form of remedial legislation to which the Inquiry wo request would be preliminary. We be lieve the entire agitation against trusts pre sents no more concrete example than this, find your petitioners, relying upon the de sire of congress to legislate in the Interests of the people, bellow you will accept the opportunity to makn this Inquiry In the spirit In which It Is demanded. The newspaper, It is fnlr to state, unlike most forms of industry, sells at a fixed price uhd has no menus of putting the In creased cost onto thu consumer. In many Instances It means the complete confisca tion of prollts and In many others creates nn actual loss. , The apparently sincere desire of all parties to deal with the trust question re moves this Inquiry from the charge of par tisanship and makes It what It Is intended to be, un Inquiry In the public Interest.

If you saw before you n Rtronir and t-afe bridge, lending to your goal, would you ignore it to try sonic insecure nnd tottering structure? The answers to these questions are plain. You would, of course, choose without hesitation what nil evidence bhowed to bo tho safe thing, nnd you would risk nothing In useless experiments. Why than do soma woman risk ono of thoii most precious possessions thoir health in trying medicines of unknown valuo, which may ovon prove hurtful to thorn ?

Tho second day's session of tho enstern conference of antl-lmperlallsts was characterized by the adoption of tt strong resolution condemning tho expansion policy of the administration. During tho discussion President McKlnley was severely criticised nnd held personally rcopor.elblo for tho "criminal aggression of the country." Today's proceedings began with an execu tive meeting of thu committee on resolu tions, of which Herbert Welch of this city is chairman. Tho resolution drafted by this committee was unanimously adopted with slight amendments. It Is as follows: "Whereas, The present administration un der the leadership of President McKlnley bus undertaken to extend tlie soverelmity of tbo United States over various tropical Islands, lu no case with the consent of their people, and in the Philippines lv force of arms, nnd denies that tho Inhabitant of these Islands havo any constitutional rights: Hesolvcd, That this policy violates the principles upon which our government rests and not only subverts tho liberty of there Islanders, but also endangers thn perma nence of free Institutions In our country. Itesolved, That wo will support no man for tho presidency or for congress who Is not known to In, absolutely opposed to tills policy ami that we will do our best to de feat all candidates for cither officii who favor It: Resolved, That wo request the executive committee of our national league to call u natlounl convention at such tlmo as they think wise for tho purpose of securing united action by nil who hold these views. SovernI of tho delegates objected to tho uso of President McKlnley's name 011 tho ground thnt It wns unwise to Insert per sonalities Into a resolution of that nature. Tho resolution when first presented placed tho responsibility for tbo war In the Philip pines with tho republican party, under tho lead of President McKlnley, but on motion of Moorfleld Storey of Massachusetts the words, "the present admlnistrntlpn" were substituted. Iu ottering tho amendment Mr. Storey said that tho members of President McKlnley's cahliint, who at heart were op posed tn tho policy of imperialism, but who by their silence supported It, should be mado to bear their sharo In the responsi bility. Anawerlng the objections of those who favored striking out the n,amo of Mr. McKlnley, Frank Stephens of this city said. "That murderer Is tho man who Is chiefly to blnmo for tho shnmo that rests upon this country nnd his nnmo should not bo re moved." Senator Hoar enmo In for somo criticism. Several of tho delegates declared that little assistance could bo expected from him ow ing to his staunch support of the presi dent. "Wo wnnt It to go out to thu world." said Mr. Storey, "that our antl-lmpcrlalism Is not of that sort." Herbert Welch In discussing the resolu tion, said he regarded the administration's imperialistic policy as "the breaking down of tho American union " Consumption is contracted as well as in herited.
