omen debste using truth and argument before the pee
pie Such course must have good effect on The

delegated to by the Federal Constitution, and in favor
of plain simple and economical administration oil The
Government of the U. States.

our last resolution, as shown, not only by the made
quacy of the it yields, but by the large de-
felt in the exports of the country in lo4a from what
they in 1910
RcsoLred That, in our opinion, the large deficit IN
the exports of lSi2 is not owing 10 any failure III the
crops scarcity of the agricultural staple produc'
tons OF the country, but 10 the embarrassed condition
Of trade and commerce. arising out OF the Tariff Act OF
1871 and that the agricultural interests ought 10 look
well TO that subject during the next Congress
Resoioed, Tina, the Wing argument Of lessenng the
mporations of the country by means OF prohbliory
Tariff is beautifully Illustrated By comparing the i'm
ports and ports OF 1910 and 1912 whilst they have
excluded about millions they have prevented
tcenty-eght millions OF the agricultural productions Uf
the country from finding foreign market.
