I am unable to vote for the amendment. and I will state briefly my reasons. The amendment is very adroitly contrived by the Senator from West Virginia . who is always zealous and astute in behalf of any cause he seeks to promote to kill two birds with one stoneto help the American steamship lines and to limit immigration. I am unable to follow the Senator in his attempts to do both of those things by means of this amendment. I am willing to vote to aid the American line of steamships. I believe it now has a large subsidy in the way of mail money from this Government.
