President Roosevelt sent Secretary of the Treasury Shaw’s “mighty strong letter” to Hill and if Shaw agrees, he will send it to some tariff reform supporters. While he is not prepared to entirely agree with Shaw, Roosevelt concedes his points are well put. He does differ with Shaw’s comments on the popular feeling. He gives an update on the coins designed by Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
