If the gentleman will permit me. it might save his time and mine if he will allow me to suggest my inquiry without his undertaking to determine what it is before hearing it. and that is this: That being one of the causesnot the controlling causewhich brings much undesirable immigration. could we not. to some extent. remedy the matter by a law restricting the number of immigrants on each ship? Would we not thereby circumvent the greed of the shipowner. as the allotted number would readily take passage without special inducement. and those only would come who desire to emigrate of their own initiative?
