Charles S. Hamlin speaks on behalf of merchants and those in transportation along the border of the United States and Canada who are concerned about the recommendation of Commissioner Powderly to limit the border crossings of Chinese merchants. Such an act would be disastrous to New England merchants, especially for those involved in the cotton trade. Hamlin hopes that President Roosevelt will make no such radical recommendation to Congress.
