WITH reference TO the needs Oh the state OF
Washington.
BY consultation with the secretary of the
interior, Senator Squire was instrumental
in obtaining the establishment of a reser-
vation Of government land comprising
l, 764 square miles, including Mount Raj
nier, for use as a national park, which,
from its great natural advantages, will, in
the future, be an attractive feature in the
Puget Sound country and will attract
many visitors to our fourishing young
state.
Senator Squire also succeeded in passing
ali amendment in the senate spproprlating
considerable sum of money tor the pay
ment of an amount due 10 Commodore
Farquhar. meritorious OTHER, chief OF
the bureau of yards and docks OF the navy
department. but this, like some other
items, was not agreed TO in conference and
was struck out OF the bill.
Senator Squire also introduced the FOL
lowing bills which were not reached during
the session, but which will be brought up
for action In the next congress:

vide tor thu times ard places 10 hold terms OF

for revenue only. How this great hole in our
resources nation is to be filed no one knows.
At this date not even the committee itself knows,
unless the President, anticipating in his mes.
sage to Congress the report of the committee on
ways and means, shall afford to the commit tee
ITSELF its Wished-fOr clue. Against the consider
alton of such bill, creating such deficit and
leaving it unaccOunted for, the minority vainly
protested when the bill was laid before the COM
mittee. Who would dare, if of sound and states
manlike mind, to create a deficit OF $4,000 900
and bIindly vote it with no plan in sight where
by the government could meet its expenditures
That same protest we make to the House and to
the country. The bill ought not to be reported
without the internal revenue bill which is to
MAKE up the deficiency. Are we to pass the bill
and then be coerced into the other? Who
knows, IL tf.-y were presented together.
that we might not prefer to stay where we
are? The progress of this attempt at what has
been called reform has already created such

When the scheme of raising taxes by methods
used in the time Of war is presented, i'll addition
to thoSen0W imposed, there may be such further
reVulslOn OF 1eeilng as will accomplish the work
OF defeating this bill While as party men we
might rejoice al its passage, as citizens OF the
United States we think the exigpncips Of The
present time are superior to even the most de-
sired political advantage and advise that the
bill do not pass.
The MILLIONS OF UNEMPLOYED.
We have not thought it advisable to make any
appeals to passion to prejudice; so far from
that, we have taken thus far no notice of the
condition Of business now, which is terrible
and of the Workingmen, which beggars de-
scription. There is no need for us to present
this to the country. 1t is presenting itself. In
100 representative cities, where the num-
Der employed exceeds 2,500Oo0 Of people,
full One-third, by the most cOnserya-
tive estimate, are without employment
These are engaged in the protected industries.
Those who are not and who thought they were
beyond the touch of the tariff, now know the
solid fact that all industries are prosperous, or
none. Spread this all over tie country as you
must and the result will startle even the I'M
thinking. 1t is not necessary for us to bring
this to public view No ingenuity can keep It
out of eyerybody's face and eyes. Work
ingmen all the country are ex-
pressing their deep and sOrToWful feel

the turmoil which this bill has already created
An end can DE put to all this by the defeat OF
this bill, and to the accomplishing Of this every
