That argument proves too much. It proves that we never can make the change because it will always take time to have the change understood. and there is no more reason now than there will be next year. or two years. or five years hence. I think that if any chauge is to be made it ought to be made now. if it is to affect anybody of the immigration classes. There is less immigration now. owing to the distress of the emigrant classes. than ever before. During the lat two years our immigration came down to almost nothing. I listened to the statistics read by the gentleman from Minnesota. He said that the immigration had increased 100 per cent. last year.
