Now. what is the condition in this bill? Why. the condition on which there is to be a reduction of 20 per cent is that Cuba shall enact our immigration and contract labor laws. The condition in my amendment is that Cuba shall by an act of legislation apply for annexation. Now. Mr. Chairman. in considering a bill proposing a reduction of duties upon the condition that Cuba shall accept a part of our laws. is it not in order to propose the abolition of duties on the condition that Cuba shall come into the Union and be subject to all our laws and our Constitution?
