Interstate-Commerce Commissioner Schoonma- ker, who is at his home in Kingston, N. ¥., has re- cetved the following letter trom Judge Cooley for his approval: Aww Ansor, Micu., May 9, 1887. Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Secretary of State: Sir: The Interstate Commerce Commission has had transmitted to it from the State Department & communication from Wm. D. H. Washington, United States commercial agent, London, Ontario, in which that oMicer lays before the Department the disastrous effects of the recent act to te commerce upon the trade of the United States with Canada, and gives instances to prove its hature, From the communication being sent to the Cotmission I infer that the De- partinent expects some notice to be taken of It, and, though the Commissioners are just now sepa- Fated, I venture to express my own thoughts, Mr. ‘Washington's fears of disastrous consequences are, am well assured, excessive. They will not to any greatextent berealized, Some inconveniences must hecessarily arise from putting in force a law which attempted such considerable changes, but they ‘will be greater at first'tuan after the working of the law has become understood, and greatest while parties are hesitating to act, ‘because of doubts of construction, and probably ‘no important act ever assed by Congress has elicited such a variety of Spinton and with such radical difference as the one in question. ‘Vhe terms of the act are not as clear as they might have been made, but it should also be said ‘that the state of mind ih Which persons differently circumstanced have come toan examination of the law has not been conducive to harmontous views. A careful reading of Mr. Washington's letter seems to show that the consequences which he attributes to the law flow from the construction rallrogd managers have put upon it, and which may er may not be correct. In 4 recent visit of the Commisston to the Southwest it was made very apparent in the testimony taken that gome persons were excited by fears of the destruc. tion of their business, which had no other basis than views of the law which were so erroneous that it would seem they ought not to have been entertained by any one. I cannot help thinking ‘that equally unfounded views have had much to Go with the disturbances of trade ot which Mr. Washington 8, and Uhat as these are cor- rected the disturbances will become compara. tively unimportant.

The nineteen lines that have been passed have grown to fifty-two in the process. ‘Most of the additions take the form of checks and restrictions. The bill was very badly drawn, in order to secure brevity and consequent shortness in debate.
