Boston, Feb. Hon. George B.
Loring, late Commissioner of Agri-
culture, to-day delivered before the
farmers of New England, attending
the annual meeting Of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural Society, stir
ing speech in favor of protection,
during which he made the following
points:
"The value of the farmers land
and crops is vastly increased by
neighboring manufactures-diversi-
fed industry being the law. The
home market is the farmers reli-
ance, both for his staples and his
local crops. A protective tariff de-
velopes the home market. An I'M
protected industry cannot succeed
in this or in any other country. The
reduction of the tariff below the
point of protection has been fatal
to the industries to which it has
been applied. The American pro-
Queer can sell dearest and buy
cheapest in the markets of his own
country, and the foreign market is
to him unimportant. A policy which
depresses labor destroys the farmers
market"
Washington, Feb. 7-Ex-Govern-
or Rodman Nj. Price of New Jersey,
who is in this city to-day, sent let
ter to each member Of the National
Democratic Committee, at the request
Of prominent San Francisco Demo-
Gratis, urging that that city be select
ed as the place of meeting of the
next Democratic Convention. Gov
ernor Price suggests that by making
the date of the Convention July 9TH
the occasion may be made highly
commemorative of the celebration of
the first raising of the American flag
over California on July Z, 1916, the
acquisition of the territory under
the administration of President Polk,
and the wonderful development of
the territory since its acquisition.
Washington, Feb. AT last the
Administrator has awakened to the
fact that it must assume its share of
the responsibility for the non-en-
forcement of the Chinese Restriction
Act and that it cannot longer afford
to make Congress the scape-goat for
the failure of its attempts to carry
into effect the legislation intended
to exclude the Chinese from this
country. The State Department
officials are now engaged in the pre-
paration of the draft of q treaty
with China, and the supplemental
agreement with the British authori-
ties who control the port of Hong
kong, that will absolutely prohibit
the landing of Chinese laborers in
the United States.

public may expect that the present
rate will be maintained and that no

cial is consulted"
