Ebenezer J. Hill writes to William Loeb concerning Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw’s views regarding the German tariff issue. Hill asserts that Shaw’s takes both on the alcohol duty in Cuba and other places, and on the necessity of a tariff war with Germany are wrong. Hill especially discusses “the tariff question” as it relates to the upcoming Presidential election and expresses concerns that the Republican party must “adjust itself to changing conditions” and not “stand pat forever on schedules made ten years ago.”
