February 6, 1894.:—That it is the undoubted sense of said association to protest most earnestly against the passage of the so-called Wilson bill as it relates to garden seeds appearing on the free list. That as a body of seed growers and seed dealers throughout the United States,—while advocating the retention of the present advalorem duty of 20 per cent.—we would strongly recommend the adoption of a specific dutj-upon the ditfer- cnt species. We are pronounced in this view for the reason that an advalorem du'v tends to encourage the importation of low grade seeds to the serious injury of the crops of American farmers and gardeners. It is a well known fact that, with but very few exceptions, feeds of all varieties of vege- tables can be grown of better quality, and in every way better suited to the Ameri- can climate, at home than abroad. So thoroughly is this fact appreciated that European growers are compelled to send annually for .American grown stock seeds. It wi 1 be seen that our advocating a really protective duty on seeds is not only in the interests of the American seed grower alone but the planter of seeds as well—the trucker and farmer. Seeds are not as raw material, quality is insured only at the expense of diligent labor,— such intelligent labor cannot be secured by the underpaid larm peasants
