Mr. President. there is another extraordinary thing in the speech of the Senator from Maryland. He has made the first political speech that has ever been made in the Senate in the discussion of the immigration question. So far as I know. there has not been an attempt in all these years to introduce party politics into the subject. I supposed that the Senator from Maryland was as desirous. as I supposed the distinguished Senator from New York. a member of the Committee on Immigration. former chairman of the Committee on Immigration. was desirous. of framing a bill which. in accordance with the platforms of the two parties. the Senators party and my party. should limit and restrict the growing evil of injurious immigration. No. the Senator is not content with that. and he has gone on here and has undertaken to introduce a political discussion at this time. a discussion which will be entirely fit when a tariff bill comes to be considered. or when any .question that ought to be brought into politics or can by human device be brought into politics is under discussion in this Chhnber. The Senator is the first to try to take advantage of the pendency of a bill of this kind. which the friends of the measure and the friends of the country are trying to put into shape. if they possibly can. so as to obviate all objections and secure unanimity in its passage.
