Dear SRI wrote you yesterday on
my return from an absence of some
time in too feeble terms of my feelings
as regards the death of your father, yet
as the mortal moves on, SO, though we
never shall forget him, yet business
must be attended to. Last summer, at
tbs instance of your father, attempted
to have such a construction placed upon
the internal revenue laws as would re-
heve the bankers and brokers from the
payment of heavy tax. There was a
partial success, but such a boasting or
rather publicity given to it that the at
tention of the secretary of the treas
ury was called TO it, and he forbid the
order TO be issued. There was then no
remedy but in congress. so suggested
to your father. He then wrote me the
enclosed letter.
Upon the authority and in consid-
Grafton of what was said in it / went to
work: Had interviews with Mr. Bout
we'll, with John Sherman, chairman OF
the senate finance committee; with
General Garfield and other prominent
members of congress. and the result
was that it became the policy of the
administration to repeal not only the
tax in question, but the stamp and 9th

suit was brought about by discussions

which ran along for nearly three years
Now mark: The senators from the Pa

Sherman tells US that he did not vote
against it because it struck out the sill

the government to pay the expense of
coinage, and he thought the people who
owned the gold and silver bullion
should pay that expense. Now, up to
that time had there been any secrecy?

the house, and on January Is, 1871, on
motion of William D. Kelly, the bill

Mr.. Horr-I wish to say right here
that upon the face of his own bill there
is a proof that to any man who has
studied this question is conclusive. The
whole attempt to prove that any such
bill ever went from the house and SEN
ate is false. Does any man in his
senses believe that they ever undertook
to give free coinage of silver to a stan
dard dollar of 3S4 grains?
Soon after the meeting of congress
in January, 1872, January 6, the bill was
reported by Mr.. Kelly, chairman of the
