Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Orville Hitchcock Platt

President Roosevelt read Senator Platt’s letter with great interest, but disagreed on two points. First, he believes there is strong support for an amendment of the tariff laws. Second, the president thinks it is important to undertake some action on the tariff, and that it should be done during a special session of Congress. Although he sees the dangers of trying to do something, Roosevelt argues it is better than doing nothing. The president also encloses a copy of a letter from Charles A. Schieren, former mayor of Brooklyn.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Wharton

President Roosevelt tells Joseph Wharton there will be dangers whether or not the Republican Party amends the tariff, but “there are more dangers if we do not attempt to revise it” since the Republicans beat the Democratic Party “on the issue that protection was robbery.” Roosevelt includes a copy of a letter from Charles A. Schieren to show how a great number of “our best Republicans feel.” Roosevelt will abide by the Republican Party’s decision, but believes it will be a mistake not to amend the tariff.
