But what I do mean to say. Mr. President. is that one of the States of this Union. one of the most flourishing and prosperous States in the American Union today. the State which I have the honor in part to represent in the Senate of the United States. has in its history never more than now demanded that .there shall not be the restrictions upon immigration which are sought in this measure. deeming even those which already exist. as prejudicial to a very greatextent to the interests of Maryland. But in addition to what I have suggested. Maryland. by its last act of assembly. has added larger powers to its board of immigration. and sends abroad every year an agent at a salary of $5.000 or $10.000 a year to invite immigration to the State. which now has a population. I think. of 105 to the square mile.
