W ~ashington Notes.

WASHINGTON, April BY request
the house committee on agriculture today
reopened the hearing on the Conger lard
compound bill and B~utterworth's anti
option bill, both of which had been re
ported to the house with favorable recon
mendations. Ga the fist named bill
Messrs. A. Graves, representing the
Georgia Agricultural Association and J..
r Jones, representing the colored cotton
farmers and planters of Arkansas, both
colOred men, made arguments against its
passage. Graves pleaded for protection
to the cotton seed industry against the
burdens imposed by the bill on the ground
that 1t had contributed more than any
thing else : u the improved
condition of the colorcd farmer and
he asserted, would be the entering of the
wedge which would separate the colored
people from the Republican party.
Jones, in the course of hts arguments,
said If cotton seed OIL must be taxed why
not tax western hog? Why break down
one industry that another should be pro.
tested? The Republican party. is com
mitted to the policy Of protection to
American industries, but had it placed in
the Chicago platform the singular creed
that one industry should be taxed to ceath
that another should be protected, the
party would have been buried so deep by
the weight of public dlsiayor that Gabri
els trumpet would not awaken them.
The system inaugurated by the Repub-
lican party OF taxing one industry to pro
tect another will be resented by the great
mass OF people and the party that

in the South. They employ nearly $4,000
persons, more than three fourths of whom
are colored men. AT least three persons
rely upon each of these $1,000 for sup.
port. The passage Of this bill would
cluse up many of these mills and throw
thousands of dependent people out of
employment, aud entail hardships aud
want upon people the least able to stand
it. And all this to protect the Western
