Chairman. I merely desire to give expression to one thought in answer to the argument of my distinguished friend from Alabama . The difference between the substitute offered by myself and the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama is that my substitute tends to relieve the American people and this country from the stigma and the meaning of the word "deportation." That is a word not contained in the lexicon of American history. a word not employed as yet by any American statesman whose lessons we care to obey and follow. a word comparatively new in the polities of this country. If you adopt my substitute the undesirable immigrant will be barred upon the other side. If you adopt the amendment of the gentleman from Alabama he will come across the ocean. and the American people will stand charged in the face of the civilized world with attempting to brand for life. and send back to his old home. a man merely because he is unable to read. because perhaps he has not had the opportunity of acquiring that knowledge.
