Session #53 · 1893–95

Speech #530163705

I do not doubt. by a unanimous vote of both Houses. I think I have clearly stated the whole case now before the Senate. The Senator from New York. the chairman of the Committee on Immigration. is not prepared to assent to the passage of the House bill. and I am not willing to surrender the House bill. Certainly I am not ready to adopt in the place of the House bill the fourth section of the bill of the Secretary of the Treasury. and other Senators take the same position. So. in the present condition of Congress. neither of these provisions can become a law at this session. I am willing. however. to advocate the passage of the four sections directed against anarchists. and I respectfully suggest to the chairman of the committee that these four sections alone be embodied in a new bill. and that this bill be now passed by the Senate and sent to the House. where I have no doubt it will be taken up without delay and enacted into a statute at the present time. Thus while we may not all agree upon a bill for consular certificates. while we may not all agree upon a bill for Treasury inspection of immigrants abroad.we all shall agree upon these carefully drawn provisions for the exclusion and deportation of anarchists. which I believe the whole people will welcome as a wise and judicious statute of Congress at this particular time.
