'I believe in preserving the dignity

freedom of the laboring classes of this
country, and hence I am opposed to the
admission of the Coolie labor of China,

"The growing commerce of Oregon
demands the deepening of the bar of
the Columbia river; the construction of
the DalltvCelilo Canal ; the opening of
Uie upjier Columbia; the improvement
of Coos Hay, Tillamook and Yacuina
harbors; the dredging of the Willamette
and the Government ownership of the
locks at Oregon Cijy and federal appro
priations should be made securing these
improvements. '
"A tariff should be maintained for the
protection of American, industries and
American labor. Where, however, the
necessity for protection is removed
by the growth aud development of a
particular industry, the tariff should be
moditied to meet the changed conditions.
"The reclamation of the arid lands U
one of the pressing needs of the North'
west, ami a ccnu.tion to its greater
advauceuient, aud the. efficiency of the
efficiency of the reclamation service should
be one ot the first cares of the Federal
