I do not know that I would take the responsibility of offering an amendment on this subject. because I doubt very much. in the first place. whether the public sentiment has been educated up to it. and the matter has not been discussed sufficiently at large for that result to be secured. But there are some very cogent reasons why it should be done. and I want to call attention to one in particular. The great object of this law is to exclude undesirable immigrants and to have a process of selection. as it were. There is no process of selection that would be as efficacious and as certain as that which would be found in the selection which would be made by one who went there for the purpose of securing laborers under a contract. He would be certain not to wish to get one who was diseased or who was mentally unfit or who was otherwise undesirable to be employed as an efficient laborer.
