The discussion of the day seems to indicate that it will be passed by an overwhelming vote. in viev of the agitation now being worked up in its favor. and unquestionably go to the President for his action. I hope he may take the broad ground that others before him have. and see what I believe to be a situation that in tise end will work great harm to us. I am the grandson of immigrants myself. and glad of the fact that my Irish and Scotch ancestors came here in the early part of the last century. and confident of the fact that they helped. with others of their race. to work out the problems of their day and generation. and certain the immigration of this period is beneficial rather than injurious to this country. and hopeful in the end this legislation will not become a law. The reasons that I have already given are the chief reasons which ought to occur to any broadminded observer and true lover of his country. They aretthe reasons which actuate me in my capacity as a Representative. not only from the State of New York but as a Representative for the benefit of the whole United States.
