Letter from William Barnes to Thomas Collier Platt

William Barnes predicts future Republican infighting over the tariff question. For this reason, he thinks that President Roosevelt should come up with a plan for the tariff and then have it published in leading newspapers. There is quite a bit of class difference in regard to opinion on the tariff. The wealthy want a lower tariff. Barnes is concerned that the recent election bodes badly for the future, even though some think it was just related to local politics.
