JAMES M'SAUGHr
Said that fer q long time past be had
been on the of side of questions of
public interest, and that be was on the
on side OF this question. II don't be-
lieve We are in any more danger than We
were q year ago. The question is how
best TO protect the labor Of our coau-
try. No good has ever come from a mot
in America. The best way is to discuss
the question. find the evil and then
eradicate il by lawful means. There
are about 75 Chinese lahorers employed
in King county, and about 400 others.
Our steamers and railroads have
been petronized quite ext nsively of
late. l don't think We need any more
policemen, or any militia, with its 100
stand OF arms, or any organization of
oar business men. The Chinese must
20, bot legally by the sbreoation of the
treaty and by legislation. Next Monday
you will find that better counsel has
prevailed. You can &c home and sleep
az sound as II your conscience was as
clear as that Of any lawyer.

Was loudly called for. az cams to
listen, not to talk" said he. my
views are very pronounced on this ques-
ton, and are we'll known. / regret that
the men in the jail have been accused
of crime. The laboring men have a
substantial wrong which must be right
ed. Most of the Cinnamon in this
county are here in violation of Law.
Three wears ago the restriction act was
passed, and since that the country has
been overrun with them. IL is our duty
to let the people know that ve will
stand by eur laboring men and assist
them in rightinG their wrongs. be-
lieve there is no danger"
