Letter from Walter Wellman to Theodore Roosevelt

Walter Wellman encloses a document from Mark Hanna pertaining to tariffs. Wellman believes that the tariffs must be revised or there will be severe political consequences for President Roosevelt. Tariffs are supposedly at their highest level ever and there is concern that the West would not vote for Roosevelt if they remain the same. The Dingley law needs removed before the next election and Wellman recommends that the Republicans on the Ways and Means Committee look into a revision.
