with her cage on the street corner. and not many

of the law which would find It's proper ex-
preston only before the legislative branch
of the government. The chief Instructions,
however, to the efficient enforcement of the
law arise, on the one hand from the I'M
scrupulous character of some American
citizens AMI others who find a large profit
In smuggling Chinese of the excluded
classes across our land boundaries, and.
on the other, from the constant interference
of those jealous persons in our own cOun-
try whose consciousness of their own exalt-
ed purposes in relation to the moral amend
ment of the Chinese appears TO them am
pie justification sometimes for disregard of
the law and often for the endeavor to have
It's provisions waived as unimportant In
comparison with their own designs.
He recommends that authority be given
ter the Chinese exclusion laws. instead
of leaving their enforcement to the col
lectors of customs, and also that COM
petent special officers be stationed at Hong
Kong and Canton for the enforcement of
the laws i'm China, instead of leaving that
duty in the hands of the American consuls
in China In many cases, he says, the
identification of Chinese persons returning
to the United States from China is left by
the consuls to their Chinese servants
Mr.. Sargent also expresses his conviction
of the Importance to an efficient admins
tration of the laws, particularly those in
relation to the exclusion of Chinese, of
adopting the best available method of Sc
curing such a physical record of every
alien found to be inadmissible to the
United States as will enable administrative
officers again to identify such alien should
he seek access to this country after re-
the adoption of the Bertillon system of
Identification.

with subsidized vessels, are making regu-
lar trips to these South American coun-
tries, and they naturally get the trade.
We can export to Europe, in foreign ships,
direct, but when a manufacturer desires
to test the South American market he
must ship first to Europe and then to South
America, or he must send in sailing YES
sells, or charter a tramp.
"A ship subsidy bill has passed the Sem
ate. 1 am not speaking in its favor, but,
after all that has been said against 1t, 1t is
due those who have labored in its interest
to say that the drain upon the treasury
would be infinitesimal. 1t costs our people
$500, 100000 a year TO carry their trans
oceanic freight, and under the bill as 1t
passed the Senate not to exceed $1,aO,W0
ships are built; and whenever a ship is
constructed 50 per cent. of its cost goes to
labor, and l have never raised my voice
against pending. public revenues which
come from the rich and well-to-do in such
ways as throw 80 per cent. of 1t to labor.
So. without discussing the merits of
the bill now pending, | want to urge
the importance of a bill constructed upon
very different lines, one that shall insure
regular steamship communication to South
American countries. South African coun-
tries and the islands adjacent.
1t is idle TO suppose that steamship
lines will be established to those ports
without government aid. There is little
freight now TO carry, and no inducement,

sufficient trade could be built up to make
1t profitable. 1t took long years to estab-
lish sufficient transcontinental
to make our Pacific lines of railroad profit
able. 1t will take perhaps longer still to
make steamship lines to those ports far TO
the southwark profitable, and In my opin-
ion the only ship subsidy bill that will meet
the approval Of both houses of Congress
will contain special provisions for these
new lines, and at rates far in excess of
what is necessary to induce competition

kets for our manufactured products"
