JOINT REsOLUTTON


Relative to the removal of duty from rice
by the Congress of the United States,
and lnstructing our Senators and Repre-
sentatiVes relative thereto
/ WHEREAS, The Congress of the United
States of America are contemplating, in
the readjusting of the national rariff, to re-
move tax or duty from rice, which act
materially affects one of the largest pro-
ductive interests of our State, and other
wise fails in the first duty of a government
IN the protection of its material interests,
by the enforcement of healthy revenue
laws IN the interest of protection to Amer
lean industry; therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the State of LOuisi-
ana in General Assembly convened, That,
in the deliberate Judgment of the General
Assembly thereof, it would be an unjust
measure and against sound public policy
tor the Congress of the United States of
America to remove the duty or tax on rice
at this time, in view of the large national
debt, and the depressing condition of the
business interest and agricultural industry
of the South. Therefore, we instruct the
Senators and request our Representatives
in Congress to oppose all such legislation
at this time, and that the Governor of this
State is hereby requested to communicate
this joint resolution to our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, SO that thew
may take prompt action thereon in the in
terest OF the people of the State of Louisi-
ana.
Adopted in General Assembly, in the city
OF New Orleans, on the twelfth day of Feb
