I was asking the Senator. when he interrupted your time. wait in patience. here is a more important matter which me. whether he thought it would be convenient in a time of panic must be attended to at once. we must first relieve the whisky specand general demoralization of the whisky market for these men. ulators from the embarrassments which they have brought upon who he says are now struggling against bankruptcy. to invest from themselves. :My friend from Michigan [Mr. COY.GEnj urged the consideration of a bill to protect from insult and abuse the thousands and hundreds of thousands of immigrants who are yearly coming to our shores. that should protect them on shipboard and On their arrival here from the abuses and outrages to which they are subjected. but the Senate said "No. let those things go. let those men suffer insult and outrage . let them die from the shocking abuses endured in coming to this land of freedom. their claims to our attention must be postponed until the whisky bill shallbe disposed of." Mr. President. I think when the Senate comes to consider this question more carefully it will reverse its action upon this subject.
