adjournment OF Congress for a day does
not always mean a holiday Tor its mem

Of the labor of the House for the more
srdIous duties OF the committce-room.
Several important and well-attendcd
committee meetings are being held to-day.
and important matters are being put iu

70. california. and several other promi-
nent champions Of the agricultural in
torest address the c~mmittee. MIR.
Lubin is the author Of the "Lubin propo-
sitou.' and believes that the only way
20 increase the price OF agricultural pro-
ducts is 20 use a limited portion Of the
tariff collected on imports 10 pay a pre-
MUM on exported agricultural staples.
He addressed the committee to-day In
explanation OF the following resolutions,
which were adopted 10y the Trans-Mssis-
eppi Congress az its last session.
American principles demand equality be
fore the law, in life liberty ana taxa
ton. and
The prices of American manufactures
are increased BY the protective tarin in
our country. and
The foundation industry namely. staple
agriculture. cannot bc benefited boy a
protcerl, tariff alone, owing to the fact
that these products are exports, and
therefore are sold I'm free competition in
the open mark ts, at the worlds ruling
prices less the cost of transportation from
the place OF production 90 Liverpool,
whether consumed 1T home. or exported;
thus comp .IlU American producers of
these staples 10 buy in the dearest and
sell iu the cheapest markets of the world
thereby discriminating against the pro-
1ucers of staple agriculture. and
The introduction ot labor-saVing agrl-
,Iltural wu.' merry W the hands OF the
cheapest labor of tho world, and on lands
much cheaper ana "0 I'i'"' "7 ours mas
so lowered the cost OF IioduriIon as 10
reduce the worlds price of these staples

which promise 10 remain so permanently
and
such condition must tend 10 the
elimination OF the independent. land
