Mr. President. I am decidedly of the belief that that was intended as a measure of protection to immigrants. so that the immigrant commissioners and their subordinates should not be the mere drummers of land agencies. I know that the immigration of those days was very largely stimulated by organizations in the Western States. by corporations formed out there with large bodies of land that they tried to fill up. I have never had any interest in it myself. but friends had a very large body of land in one of the Western States and they exerted themselves to fill thatland with the best classes of people that they could from Norway and Sweden. They did not probably bring out one man for an Eastern manufacturer.
