RESOLUTIONS rel0iiHg to tariff, introduced ia the
Senate By Mr. Hub6el, .Nor. I, 1912
Whereas the Legislature of this state did the
last session resolve, that the tariff laws then exist
ing, defective and insuiciunt and whereas the
Legislature did further resolve that orr Senators in
Congress be instructed and our Representatives
quested all honorable in their power to
procure the passage of laws which, while they should
guard against the frauds and evasons then
pructiccd upon by foreigners and foreign agents,
and while they should raise sufficient only
for the necessary expenses Of government and should
have due regard TO the particular interests OF every
section of our country, might have by protective du
ties, such preference Of domestic foreign pro-
hetw those articles which we could, and those
could not produce at home, as to give just
and salutary encouragement to the industry Of every
American citizen-and
Whereas, the tariff law of the last session Of Con-
gress does not, in the opinion Of the Legislature af
ford such protection to the domestic products of Yer
mont. foreign, especially upon principal sta
pe ,rool, as was contemplated BY said resolutions s.
wherefore,
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Reprcsen-
tatves, That Senators in Congress be instructed
and our Representative requested, all honora
bic means, in their power, TO procure such modifca-
ton of said tariff law shall more etfectualy protect
the wool growing interest of Vermont.
Resolved, That his Exceency the Governor be
requested to forward copy of the foregoing pream-
BILE and resolutions each of our Senators and Rep

Capt. Morris informs US that when he left Havana,
on the 18th instant, there was considerable excite
ment'' there, owing to difference. OF opinion,
or some other difference between the Governor
General and the British steam packet The latter
was going of without passing her mails through
the post Office according 10 the laws Of the
place. She was stopped, and the Governor Gene
raj said or swore that it she moved out he would
sink her as she passed the Moro. The matter was
still unadjusted when the Hayne left The British
steamer was lying very quiet, and nobsdy knew bow
it would end. Rumor said that the Governor Cen
eral had sent the Captain of the steamer word, that
unless he complied with the laws, he would mPri-
son him forthwith. There are seeds OF trouble IN
this and we may as well keep an eye on the pro-
gress of British enterprise" In Cuba. Ii Is quite
