ProteetIon 20 AcricnIture.

TOMORROW evening, at 7:30 o'clock, at
the Assembly Chamber, there will be
public hearing on the resolution intro
duced by Assemblyman Wade on the
proposition of protection to staple agri-
culture by an export bounty. AS this
proposition is of great interest, not alone
to California bat to the entire nation, it
deserves the close attention not alone Of
all legislators but of every voter.
Inc reason tor having the hearing in
the evening and al the Assembly Cham-
Der was Tor the purpose Of giving the citi-
Zens a cnance TO near the proposition dis
! Cus5ed. The resolution IS as follows:
Nv FEREAS, Protection of American
industries against the competition OF the
caeap-laOOr 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 ouIv
protect the home market OF manufactures
against imports, but cannot protect tue
staples OF agriculture against foreign
competition, because these are produced
IN surplus quantities tor export; and
whereas, TO protect one industry and 20
. 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 respectfully memorable
( the Congress Of the United States to re-
7 move this injustice by providing by law
an equal measure of protection 10 the
staples Of agriculture now granted 10
manufactures; and that this be done Dy
applying portion OF the revenue now
collected as protective tariff in the pay
ment Of an export bounty on the staples
Of agriculture.
'ReSoLcsd. That a copy of theseresoIu-
| tons be transmitted to Congress-"
This proposition has received the in
dorsemenL of the State Grange, and was
incorporated as plank IN the platform
OF the Republican party OF California.
Il has also created quite a stir in Wash
( ington, whore IL received a hearing be-
fore the Agricultural Committee OF the
House of Representatives, and is now
generally known throughout the United
States.
The matter is important enough to
warrant every Senator and Assembly
man 10 be present. Indeed the farmers
Of the State viii have a line opportunity
OF seeing how the represen tatIves stick
to their platforms, and how much interest
they manifest in q measure for the relief
OF agricultural interests.
David LuDIn Of this city, the author Of
tue proposition, Will address the meeting
and explain the measure.

1t is not generally known that Abra-
ham Lincoln sent substitute to the
war against the south, but such is fact.
During the earlier days of the war it
seems to have been the desire of all
prominent men i'll Washington to have a
representative i'll the ranks, and Lin
coin was no exception to the rule. At
that time there was minister named
Staples i'll Washington, one of whose
sons, then aged ~, had desire to go to
the front. Lincoln heard Of him, and
after IA conference selected him as his
representative, and he proved worthy,
for he won honor on the field He sur
yiyed the war and finally died i'll
Stroudsburg, Pa. The inscription on the
stone over his grave reads as follows
-. Symmetrical Staples, private of
Company G, One Hundred and Seventy
sixth Regiment, p. V. also Il member of

MODERN BODY ARMoR.
Quite a Lot of II Exists and Il Worn In
Spite of the Time.

The experiments with bullet proof
coats and material which have been
conducted mere and abroad have called
attention to the fact that mail protec
ton did not entirely pass away with
the shelving of the shield and cuirass.
Many English officers still wear par
tial armor when serving ON foreign sta
tons
The eommonest and most usual type
Of these projections consists Of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains, in
closed in soft leather, which run along
the shoulders, down the outer side Of
the arms. and over certain parts of the
body. These can either . sewed into a
particular tunic, or they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness.
Hundreds upon hundreds of these sets
are sold. The most valuable Of all
chains in connection with aeceuterments
are those which guard the head, and in
cases where the regulation cap or he'll
met is not sufficiently protected in this
way specially made chains are sewed
inside the same and covered by the lin
ing.
Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how valuable all the
chains mentioned are in minimizing the
effects of sword cuts As regards pro
lection both from sword and bullet the
general belief nowadays seems to be IN
thoroughly tanned leather. and great
quantities are made for officers, the IA
vorite pattern-said to be the invention
Of the late Sir Richard Burton-being
that which forms not too prominent
ridge down the center of the chest.
Many stories are told by officers of bull
lets which have been aYerted in some de-
gree by these leather TUNES, some of
which are lined with woven steel wire.
Of course none of these things are sup
posed to be an absolute protection, but
only sort of palliative.
A London gunsmith, who sells great
many chain body protectors, which fit
almost like an ordinary vest and are
very expensive, sells large number of
them to army men, and he not long ago
sent gross, as many as be could get
made i'll the time, to Japan, where they
were quickly sold. He has made for in.
diyidual officers who have themselves
drawn the design variety of different
patterns of armor. Fine flexible chains
and leather have entered into nearly all
of them. Boston Post.
