NEW VOItK. Feb. 23. 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.
Tho following olllcers wcro re-elected:

lumber from Malno to Porto Rico. At San
Juan tho duty was collected by the United
States. Therefore, It had as well been col
lected by the United States when it left
Maine. Ho assailed ns a pretext tho theory
that this tariff for Porto Rico was framed
to raise revinue when n duty on Btigar and
tobacco was levied while coffee, of which the
production was greater than both tho other
articles together, wan to bo Imported free,
This was the cheap philanthropy which cost
nothing.
He argued that If tho Industries of the
United States wero to bo protected against
thoso of the Philippines tho Industries of
thoso Islands could never prosper; Amer
ican capital would never go to them for in
vestment. Porto Rico would remain an
"ornngo for us to squeeze, people, hewers
of wood nnd drawers of water" for the 75,

Lacey of Iowa followed In support of the
bill. He had visited Porto Rico nnd he spoke
with the advantage of personal observation.
Ho urged that the needs of the Island could
bo met by this bill without tho necessity of
having taxgathercrB go among the people.
At tho night session Sulzer of New York
vigorously opposed tho bill ax unwarranted
and unconstitutional and against tho rights
of tho Porto Rlcans and the policy and tra
ditions of this cquntry.
"The road to Imperialism," he said, "Is
n hard rood to travel under tho constitution.
Wo want no Porto Rlcnn stepdaughter In
tho union, but one grand galaxy of wlster
states enjoying equal rights nnd equal pre
rogatives under the constitution."

QUESTIONS FOR
If you were offered sure ntd In time of trouble, would you put It aside
and accept something- of doubtful oftlclcni'y?
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 ?
Lydia Em Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
stood tho tost of yoarsB It has tho largest salo of
any remedy for female ills in tho world, and
nothing could havo given It this salo except its
own merit.
Do not try experltnentt,, buy what is known to be reliable. Mrs. Pink
hntn's Compound can do nil that is claimed for it, nnd all statements in
regard to it can bo easily verilled. For instance Here tire blx letters which
prove our claims.
Backache and Womb
Troubles Succumb to
Lydia Em Pinkham's Vege
table Gompoundm
" I havo been for ten years nn in
valid with female weakness, and the
torture and pain I suffered no tongue
can tell. I never spent one week in
the ten years thnt I was free from
pain. My troublo wns inflammation
und congestion of tho womb. When I
commenced to take, your remedy I had
been bedfast for mmo time under the
treatment of two of the best physi
cians In Illinois without receiving uny
benefit. You can imagine tho benetlt 'l
derived from Lydia H. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound when 1 tell you that I
havo gained forty pounds and am well
n, thing 1 never dared to expect."
Mrs. C. H. Folnnd, Monctt, mo.
" For tv number of years I wns
troubled with backache and leueor
rluca. I became so weak and miser
able that I could not attend to my
work or studies. Tho least effort
would completely exhaust mo. Physi
cians failed to help me. I felt th.it'my
youth was blighted, and the life before
mo would bo one of suffering and
misery. Then a friend insisted on mo
taking your medicine. Hefore I had
used ono bottle 1 was greatly relieved.
1 had not known a well day for four
years, but now I feel better than I havo
since a child, and it is all due to Lydia
K. Pinkham's VegetableCompound."

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 23. 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 "

Facts About Two Casos
of falling of the Womb
Recovered by Lydia Em
Pinkham's Vegetable
Gompoundm
" I suffered for fifteen years without
finding any relief. 1 tried doctors, but
nothing seemed to do me any good. I
had falling of the womb, loueorrh(ua,
pain iu the back and head, nnd those
bearing-down pains. One bottle of
lydia H. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound did mo so much good that I sent
for four more, also two Wives of Liver
Pills nnd one package of Sanative
Wash. After using these 1 felt like a
new woman." Mrs. Q. A. Winter,
Oliddcn, la., Box 220.
" I was suffering with falling of the
womb, painful menstruation, head
ache, backache, pain in groins, ex
tending into the lliubsrnlao a terrible
palu at left womb. The pain in my
back was' dreadful during menstrua
tion, and my head would ache until I
would be nearly crazy. l,ydla K.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound lias
given mo great relief. I suffer no
pain now, and I (five vour medicine

Ovarian Troubles Always
Yield to Lydia Em Pink,

" 1 had been in poor health for
twenty years, having inflammation of
ovaries and womb trouble. Although
treated by physicians, 1 could not gain
strength nor do my wosk, and was so
low-spirited and tired of life. A friend
advised me to take Lydia R Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. The lirst
bottle strengthened me, and 1 wrote
to you. After taking six bottles can
sav that I am well and can even do
washing." Mrs. M. W. Miller, No.

" For three years 1 suffered with
ovarian trouble, having iullammation
and an abscess on right ovary. Ilnd
such pain iu my buck and head, and at
times was unaiile 1o walk. Und sev
eral doctors, but they did not do me
much good. One doctor said that I
would have to have an operatiou and
have the ovary removed. 1 became
discouraged, and gave up nil hopes of
getting well. 1 began taking Lydia
K. l'ln'.iiom's Vegetable Coippound.
I wrote to Mrs. l'inkhatn and followed
her directions faithfully, and am bet
