Speaker. it has occurred to me that the fox dog. the coon dog. the rabbit dog. and the possum dog should have a right to return to this country at any time without any embargo. without any tariff. or without any duty. save that of resuming their usual vocation. I am inclined to agree with the gentleman from Illinois that there is about to be some illtimed legislation) on this tariff question. and. inasmuch as we could not hear from the Tariff Board on the legal status of society dogs. I am of the opinion that it should have been referred long since to the Committee on Immigration. so.that the Immigration Commission when they traveled in Europe could have looked Into the question of the admission into the United States of this new class of emigrants. and no doubt that commission would have unanimously recommended that they be admitted free from both head and tail tax. Mr. Speaker. there is one source of congratulation growing out of this debate and that arose when the gentleman from New York gave to his colleague the statemeut that he thought the wool schedule was too high and had long so contended.
