TENT OF THE RESOLUTIONS.
Following is the full text of the resolu-
tons:
WHEREAS, On the tenth day of Decem-
Der, 1894, the Hon. w. III. Hatch submit
ted the following resolution in the House
OF Representatives, and which was re-
terred to the Committee on Agriculture
OF the House of Representatives:
whereas, Current market prices of the
principal agricultural staples have de-
clined to about half their former rates.
and are sold in many instances at or be-
low the cost of production; and whereas.
such a condition must tend to the eIimina-
ton OF the independent land-owning
farmer and his replacement by a de-
pendent peasant tenantry, which, unless
prevented, Will not only prove detri-
mental TO agriculture and the kindred in
dustrleS, but also to the perpetuity of
American institutions; therefore, re-
solved, That the COMMITTEES on Agricult-
ure OF the House of Representatives be
and are hereby directed to inquire into
the causes of the depression OF American
agricultural staples and the relative con-
dltlon OF agriculture 10 the manufacture
ing industries, and report the same to the
House with such suggestions as they may
deem proper regarding The differences or
Inequalities, II any exist, so far they are
caused by legislation, or as LEGISLATION
can remedy them.n a hearing was had
on the above resolution on Decem Der 10th
and 18th, and limited number of copies
OF the proceedings on the resolution was
ordered printed for free distribution: and
whereas, these copies have all been dis
triOuted and many more are in demand
in our State for the information of the
people; therefore,
yp1cayJ,o,{ That
sentatives in Congress 10 present a reso-
luton during the present session author
iZing the publication and free distribu-
ton of q, 900 copies of said "hearingp for
the State of California
ReSOtUed, That the Clerk of the Assem-
bly, is hereby instructed to transmit a
copy of this resolution to each OF our Rem
resentatiYes in Congress without any de-
lay.
WHEREAS, Protection OF American in
dustries against the competition of the
cheap labor countries of the world is the
controlling and public policy of this Ma
ton; and whereas, the present method of
protection by tariff on imports can only
protect the home market Of manufactures
against imports, but cannot protect the
staples Of agriculture against foreign
competition, because these are produced
in surplus quantities for export; and
whereas, to protect one industry and 10
leave the other unprotected is to compel
the unprotected industry to pay for the
protection Of the protected industry,
which is an injustice.
Therefore, we pectfUlly memorabilia
the Congress of the United States to re-
move this injustice by providing by law
an equal measure of protection to the
staples of agriculture now granted to
manufactures, and that this be done by
applying portion of the revenue now
collected as protective tariff in the pay
nent of an export bounty on the staples
OF agriculture.
Rey0tJcd, That a copy of these resolu-
tons be transmitted to Congress.
