Let me say a word. Here is a bill which was passed by the House of Representatives to give some protection to the three quarters of a million of immigrants who are coming now to this country. and who arrive at the rate of four or five thousand a day in New York alone. The disasters which have occurred. the deaths which have occurred. the exhibition of the suffering of those people for the lack of a law to protect them and preserve ii some manner the decencies of humanity to passengers. have induced the passage of this bill by the House. Yon camot find a paper in the country but what is full of complaints at the delay of Congress in passing a bill which does not go into operation for ninety days and which should at once be enacted. for the sooner it is p~ssed. the sooner this protection shall be given to people who are suffering. who are to become our own citizens. the better it will be for the country and the better for them.
