LETTER FROM MR.. POWERS.

My Dear Sir,-There is statement in
the New York Evening Post that Congress
is about to lay very heavy duty on foreign
works of art so high, indeed, as to shut
out-for the most part-foreigners from
competition with native artists at home.
But however this may be, it's effect would be
disastrous to American artists in Florence,
for it is already threatened here to lay an
export duty on our works. in retaliation tor
the duty already imposed on Italian art |
have talked with one of the representatives
in the Italian Parliament on this subject,
who says that while mere copies Of paint
ings or sculptures may properly be taxed,
he thinks that original works by living ar
lists ought to 60 free of duty into America,
US they do in France and England; and
the government here would not complain
of such law. 60 8
OF course we American artists here~feel
much anxiety on this matte. FPhe:e is no
hope for us if Congress isrfeases the duty.
We shall all haye to leave here; for an ex-
;ss<TT 1euld tax our works for America
;. not only, but everywhere else, and we could
not live here.
It is possible that the Government might
: be induced to retaliate by an import duty
on American produce petroleum, for iu-
stance-which would be more just than an
export duty on the works Of few Ameri-
cans in Florence. There are no other Of
our artists in Italy, if I except in Rome
and not under this Government. Thus you
will perceive that an act which may be
sport to those artists at home who have pc
titioned Congress, if passed by Congress
would prove death to all our hopes here.
And surely it is an advantage to art In
America that some of us should come
abroad and study here. The intention can
not be to provoke hostility towards us on
the part Of foreign artists and foreign gov
ernments.
I have no doubt that the Roman Gov
ernment will follow suit if the Italian Gov
ernment sets the example of retaliation.
And does our revenue require high du
ty on original works of great masters
abroad or is it that the petitioners desire
to compel our people to buy their pictures,
or have no pictures at all :!
I do not know if we Americans are not
also included in the high duty proposed;
and if so, then our case will be desperate
indeed. We shall have to run the gauntlet
getting out Of Italy with our works; and
also in getting into America with them
paying some fifty per cent. at head and tail
Of our voyage.
It seems to me that the present plan is
not wise one. It is highly calculated to
provoke retaliation. We want to sell our
produce abroad, and law might be made
here tomorrow excluding the vast quanti-
ties Of petroleum entering the ports Of Italy
from America. And who shall say that
this would be unfair
I wish you to publish this, if you think
It i would do any good.
With kindest regard, [ am sincerely
yours. HIRAM POWERS.
