Representative Ebenezer J. Hill offers Theodore Roosevelt his opinion on the German tariff issue. Hill is concerned that a retaliatory tariff increase could be detrimental to the American people and economy and writes that passing such a tariff would be “ruinous to the Republican Party.” Hill also offers assessments on the benefits of producing alcohol within the United States to lower the costs, and also to produce kerosene and gasoline more cheaply domestically.
