Direct and Pointed
I Il speak on the assumption, which
/ am sure is well founded, that the
people of California do not desire
their representatives to and that the
Representatives neither wish nor in
ltend in any circumstances to embar-
rass the government of the United
States in its dealings with a nation
with whom it has most earnestly and
Icordially sought to maintain relations
of genuine friendship and goodwill.
and that least of all do they desire to
do anything which might impair trea-
lty obligations or cast doubt on the
honor and good faith of the nation and
government
Therefore, / appeal in the utmost
confidence to the people, to the gov
Iernor and to the legislature of Califor-
Inia to act in the matter now under
consideration in manner that cam
mot, from any point Of view, be fairly
challenged or called in question.

llowed in the laws of many other states

herself Invidious discrimination will
in evitably draw into the question the
treaty obligations of the government
Iof the United States.
IQuestiOn of Honor
II register my very earnest and re-
Ispectful protest against any discrimi-
lnation in this case, not only because
tdeem it my duty as chief executive of
the nation, but also, and more readily,
because believe the people and the
Legislative authorities of California
Twill generously respond in moment
to matter frankly presented to them
las a question of national policy and a
lquestion of national honor. If they
have ignored this point of view, it is,
| / am sure, because they did not realize
what and how much was involved"

j Fourteen Democratic members of
the ways and means committee, which

TODAY submitted their report to the

under Republican government.
/ The Democrats estimate the receipts
under the Underwood tariff bill will
aggregate $926,000.000 and the govern
lment's expenses will be 1894, 000, 900.
i They estimate that the income tax
will bring in revenues TO the amount
i of $70,000,000, which will more than
j overcome the deficit caused by reduc-
/ ton of the tariff duties.
