The subject has been discussed. as the Senator from Rhode Island knows. for years and years. and the great cattle interests of the United States have pressed for severe and rigid laws. so that when disease was discovered there should be a quarantine to prevent the importation of diseased animals. How is it in regard to human life as to the importation of disease? We recognize that in all the laws upon the subject which have been passed. We authorize quarantine to be imposed. exclusion of immigration. exclusion of communication. and it is done upon the proclamation of the President of the United States. This is no more than that. If such action. can be taken with regard to human life. certainly it can be taken with regard to animals.
