Washington Letter.
(From Our Regular Correspondent


Washington, D. c., April IA, 1904.
Whether prosperity is due partly to
natural causes and partly to the wise
public policy of the Republican party.
it is fact that if this country is now in
the front rank of producing nation,
continues, there must be in the near
future vast expansion of our com
merce. To construct the Panama canal
and provide for large navy, without a
corresponding merchant marine to fost-
er and protect, would be waste of
money. There must be an open door for
our surplus products, and if the wishes
Of the administration are realized, this
will be peacefully obtained. With Pres
ident Roosevelt for a leader, the Repub-
lican party and the country will move
ON to higher plane of glory, power and
comfort for all the people. 1t is FORUM
ate at this juncture, that notWith-
standing the loss of such eminent lead
ers during the past three or four years
as Mckinley, Reed and Hanna, there
still remain men like the President,
Secy. Hay and Sec. Taft, and many Sena-
tors of both parties, who are honest,
able. and devoted to the public welfare.
The masses of our citizens already know
who and what they want and are not
waiting to be told what they shall
believe by the convention which is so
soon to meet in Chicago. That body of
representative men will simply ratify
and confirm the wishes Of the people
already expressed.

A bill to ammend the immigration
act has been reported. 1t proposes to
station inspectors and surgeons at
foreign ports to examine immigrants and
to exclude assisted immigrants, whether
by individuals or governments. The
of immigration to this country for this
year is rapidly rising.
When Atty. Gen. Knox has decided
whether existing legislation relative to
Chinese exclusions, outside the treaty,
is valid, the President will take some
decisive steps. A movement is being
made to negotiate another treaty with
China. In this new treaty it is pro-
posed to allow the better class of Chi
nese, scholars and merchants to enter
| this county, but cOOlie labOrers will be
excluded. 1T Is now said that Panama
will receive its canal money about the
first of May The Treasurer Of the
American Protective Tariff League has
