Prom The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building, Washington. Washington, April 24.—Senator Hans-

brough, after some thought, decided t h a t he would wr i te another l e t t e r to Secretary Shaw on the subject of wheat drawbacks, a copy of which was given to the New York Tribune, and published in tha t paper this morning. The.

I t is as follows:

•wheat. Imposed? First, protection for the Ameri -can grain grower; second, for revenue wi th which to pay governmental ex -penses. W h o are the chief importers of wheat? The manufacturers of flour are practically the sole importers. Occasion-ally an American farmer buys a few bush-els of Canadian wheat for seed; and, whi le he pays a duty of 25 cents a bushel 'I' the miller, under a most violent execut ive construction of t h e statute , pays one-quarter of 1 per cent a bushel.

.Shaw's "Cheerfu l P o l i c y . " According to the cheerful policy of your

department, ihe miller is to certify that he uses the imported w h e a t in his export flour. You do not, nor can you know whether he does so or not. Indeed, in an Interview of date Feb. 7, just before Mr. Moody's opinion w a s given, you, are quot-ed a s saying: "As long as a g iven amount of wheat is imported and a g iven amount of flour is exported, that ought to be enough." The law says that the "im-por ted . material shall so appear in the completed article that the quantity or measure thereof may be ascertained."

It may be that you were hot quoted correctly; yet, you have not denied the interview. Then came your decision,

•prior to which all importers, of wheat paid the 'statutory duty, and .subsequent- to which the d u t y . is rebated to the miller. Hence by s ta tement that your depart-ment is engaged in a fantast ic and uncon-st i tut ional scheme of tariff revision.

But there is an ethical side to this drawback question. After reading your

No Place for Statement. * There is no place in economic d iscus-

sion for the absurd argument that the protection given in one clause of a s tatute is to be taken away^ by another clause of the same s tatute . N o American con-gress ever passed a law that would justify this construction. Such a th ing i s .©ut of all harmony w i t h reason or common sense. Statesmanship is not based upon the code of the thimble-rigger. Ledger-d e m a i n i n lawmaking or in law construing has ever been considered a most repre-hensible practice. Surely our protective sys t em w a s not intended to be thus per-verted. It w a s designed to encourage every branch of industrial enterprise— the farmer, the miner, the manufacturer; those of our cit izens who are engaged in producing raw materials, a s well a s those w h o are turning out t h e finished product. If we deliberately sacrifice one branch to build up another, the institution thru whose instrumental i ty the injustice is in -flicted rnust fall into disrepute. There la a remedy for every wrong, altho for a t ime "patient meekness may take in-juries like pills." . Yet if, as I very much fear, a wrong has been committed here, the w a y will surely be found t o rectify it. Very truly yours,- — H . C. -Ha^brough .
