Here is what this language in the bill will do: A man goes to a steamship office in Liverpool and says that he wants to go to Chicago with his wife. The ticket agent will say to him. "If you buy a ticket on the Allan Line or on the Canadian Pacific Line. I can sell it to you for $16 less for the two of you. because you do not have to pay any head tax. but If you want to go by the Cunard Line or the White Star Line. or any other line. you will have to pay $16 more than you do oil the Canadian lines. because coming to the United States directly. you have to pay an $8 head tax. Therefore we provide in an American law. in an American Congress. an $8 differential on every ticket for a man maing a trip to the United States in favor of the Canadian Pacific Line or the Allan Line of steamships. and I am opposed to thmt. I am for America.
