I only desire to say one word. Mr. Speaker. and that is in reference to a remark made by the gentleman from Minnesota that these immigrants landing in the city of New York are a source of profit to that city. and therefore this law should not pass. I call the attention of the gentleman and of the House to the fact that usually immigrants buy their tickets clear through to their final destination. oven if it be to the State of Minnesota. and this money is to be expended in seeing they are safely embarked by boat or car to their final destination without accident. and to provent their wandering about the streets of New York and being made the prey of siarpers and runners.
