We can undoubtedly abolish steerage passages if we wish to do so. I spoke of it as an alternative method of legislation. That would be compelling. however. all our own citizens who are abroad to return in the third cabin. That is an alternative proposition. I prefer myself to say to foreigners who want to come here to settle. stay away for a year. That rule practically abolishes steerage passages. and no foreigners will come. except as visitors. and they will come in the cabin. and they will be an entirely different class of persons from those from whom cholera is to be apprehended.
