I have already taken too much of the time. and so I will conclude with this one statement and -give -wvay to others. Mr. President. I am unwilling to overturn our old. wise. traditional. and humane policy in this -particular respecting immigration. thus entaiUng. as this literacy test would. many.-grievous hardships -upon honest immigrants. at the same time largely increasing the expenditures of the Government in administering the law. and all -without any wellfounded hope of accoml)lishing any substantial good to our own country. I feel constrained. with all due deference to what is manifestly a strong majority sentiment in the Senate against my view. :to record my vote in favor of sustaining the position taken by thePresident of the United States.
