Bounty sOr Farmers.--Mr. ID. Lubip.
OF Sacramento, Cal, appeared before the
Maryland State Grange on Thursday of last
week, at its meeting in Baltimore, and ex.
planned plan he has evolved by which he
hopes the inequalities now existing between
the prices of manufactured goods and farm
staples may be corrected. This plan, Mr..
Lubin says, was laid before the National
Grange at its recent meeting in Cincinnati
and received the Endorsement of that organ
izatien, and he is now visiting the State
Oranges all over the country, explaining his
theory and seeking their Endorsement of it.
The Maryland Grange received him warm
ly and heard his address, but took no action
on his plan, although it was regarded favor
ably by number Of the members.
MIR. Lubin contends that the equality be.
tween agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts can only be secured by protecting
each alike. He proposes that the duty col.
lected on imported products shall be made
sufficiently large to pay bounty to farmers
for exporting agricultural products. This,
he says, will prevent Liverpool from fixing
the price of American wheat and other pro-
ducts sent abroad
The report of Mr.. H. O. Devries, master
of the grange, was discussed, and was adopt.
ed in full
