There are certain discretionary powers that should be given to the President of the United States. and we are doing this every day in legislation. but there are certain other subjects. as the Senator from Tennessee very well knows. upon which we do not trust to the Presidents discretion. but as to which Congress undertakes to determine the policy. and this should be one of them. Mr. President. if we pass the 7th section and leave the subct therethe Senator from Maine and I know very well that resident Harrison will not between now and the 4th of March suspend immigration unless there is a widespread breaking out of cholera in Europe. or unless it actually appears in this country. He will not do it. Immigrants will not understand that they can not come. they will prepare to come. There is not one chance in one hundred that between now and the 4th of March President Harrison will do what we have not the courage to do.
