WAsHINeroN CRY, June 6, 49,


WAsHMGToN Cry June 6, 1912.
Gentlemen;--I have to acknowledge the receipt Of
your letter of I'd of May, without postmark, which
only reached yesterday, in which you say that
DIR. Frederick j Hill has declared in public meet
ing, that he heard (me) say, in the Harrisburg Con-
vention, that CD was in favor OF a United States
Bank as a matter of eXpediency and the only
means of regulating the exchanges in the restoration
of sound currency throughout the Union,' and de-
string either to admit or deny the statement thus
made, so as to relieve you from uninentional error
in contradcting it.
In reply, have to say, that from my first entering
on the theatre of public life to the present moment,
have uniformly avowed the same opinion, in all
places, to all persons, and on all occasions, where
have expressed an opinion concerning it viz that
Congress had no power conceded to it by the Cons-
| tuition to incorporate Bank for the Union, or to
grant any corporate rights out of the District of CO.
| lumbia, or Territory of the United States. This
opinion has been and over again expressed, in
the Virginia Legislature; in the House of Represen-
tatives and in the Senate of the United States, by
votes therein recorded, and speeches and reports
there made. 1t has also been avowed before popular
assemblies, both orally and in writing; and now,
probably for the hundredh time, Ionce declare,
that do not believe that Congress has the right to
charter Bank for the U. States, by express grant,
nor by derivation, unless of necessity shall
arise (which do not believe arse-inti-
mately associated with the existence of the Govern
ment Such, am happy to say, was the opinion
of Gen. Harrison, expressed and published in his
Dayton Speech during the late election, and put forth
to the world in his address to the people of Cncin-
natl in 1922, and previously affirmed by his vote in
| 1873 in the House of Representatives motion
for scire tacias to repeal the charter of the Bank,
when had the pleasure to vote as he did.
| lpresume you must have misunderstood DR.. Hill,
in ascribng to the utterance of different sent
ments in Convention at Harrisburg. | have no re-
collection of having opened my lips in that body on
any subject whatever. In short, do state, resting
upon my memory which is not apt to deceive, that
perfectly and entirely silent in that Convention
will add further, that was nominated to the
Vice Presidency most unexpectedly to myself-was
wholly unquestioned about my opinions, and was Sc
lected, firmly believe, because of my uniform
opposition to broad construction of the Constitution,
and my known advocacy of the principles Of the good
| old, honest, Republican party.
| am gentlemen, your fellow citizen,

money When Noye's house was completed, he went
to work upon house for Mr.. John Gross in the vi

only fifteen francs, while those of Russia pay elgh-
teen francs.
Mr.. c. said that the bill, originally reported, by
imposing higher duty figured than on plain silks,
did, in fact, make distinction against the silks OF
France. The present proposition was free from that
Objection and apart from the political objec ion against
high duties on French articles there financial
objection which was entirely conclusive. If an
sive duty was put on French silks, it would not be
collected, the business would 90 into the hands of
smugglers and fraudulent importers Naples silks
could be Struggled into the United States, by the way
of England and Canada, at premium of ten per
cent, and it is said that company has been organ
lied in Paris for smuggling silks into the United
States at still less premium. However this may be
there is doubt but frauds will occur il duties be
cessive And the existence of such smuggling asso
Citations undertaking run silks fora stipulated pre-
MUM, is mentioned by Sir Robert Peel. Mr.. G.
hoped therefore, that either two dollars per pound
if not two, at most two and half dollars would be
substituted for the heavier ad vIorem duy proposed
and reported in the original bill.
FLAX-TWINE-HEMP.
Mr.. CUSHING moved to amend the bill by striking
out forty dollars per the proposed duty flax
as to make the article free He said il was free I'M
der the act of 1892 1t chiefly used in the l.
facture of bread and Irvine 1t would be idle TO I'M
pose heavy duty on fax, for the duty would yield
nothing. 1t would stop the manufacture, to carry on
which, flax has been imported, and there was no do
mestic to Justify this high prohibiory duty as
it was a material of manufacture fax of the same
description not being produced in the United States
The motion to strike out failed, but the duty was
lowered to twenty dollars
"There was, on motion of Mr.. EVERETT, Of Yer
mont after the bill reported to the House. still
additional duty imposed wool, so that the duty IS
30 per cent ad valorem, and cents per pound spe-
cifc besides
