In discussing the amendment. I will not go into the subject of American shipping. I do not offer it as the best means of promoting American shipping. far from it. but it is one of the means. and it is the sense of this country. if I understand it. agreed to by nearly all parties. that there should be some proper restriction upon immigration. The amendment would be in a certain sense a restriction. and if not a restriction. it would encourage American shipping. It would not hurt an immigrant to cometo our country in an American ship. and by doing so he could come as cheaply as now and at the same time encourage American shipping.
