John Carter Rose thanks Theodore Roosevelt for his interesting letter. Rose thinks Roosevelt was wise to leave the tariff matter alone. Rose believes that most men are protectionists even though they claim to be in favor of free trade. According to Rose, advocating for free trade may win an election, but when the economy inevitably slows down, people are quick to blame free trade for the problems.
