FLDERADANSHELD 'AUTHOR OF LETTER Scathing Tariff Remarks At- tributed to Father of Secretary. ‘While a letter attributed to Secretary of the Navy Adams, advocating free trade and characterizing tariff advo- eates as “thieves” and “hogs” was in the Congressional Record yesterday, much to the embarrassment of Republican . leaders of the Senate, the Boston Herold in a special article today says the letter was in fact writ- ten by the BSecretary’s father, also named Charles Francis Adams. ‘The letter was inserted in the Record by Senator Connolly, Democrat, of Texas, and from its nature was given wide publicity. But the Herald says it was written by Secretary Adams’ father to Samuel W. McCall, war-time Governor of Massachusetts, when the latter was in Congress. The father was ® publicist and once head of the Union Pacific Railroad and, like all his fam- {ly, was extremely frank in his opinions, the Herald said. The letter was writ- ten in 1908. Secretary Adams in London. Secretary Adams is in London as a member of the American delegation to | the London Naval Conference. ‘The letter said: “Speaking after the fashion of men, they are either thieves or hogs. I my- self belong to the former class. Iam a tariff thief, and I have a license to steal. It bears the broad seal of the United States. I stole under it yes-| terday. I am stealing under it today. | I propose to steal under it tomorrow. | The Government has forced me into | this position, and I both do and shall | Jake full advantage of it. I am there- | fore a tariff thief with a license to steal. And what are you going to do about it? “The other ‘;:‘l.u:' eflm'-h es ur;lder et‘h‘e category—that is, they rush squeal- mm. and struggling to the great Wash- ington protection trough and with all four feet in it. they proceed to gobble the swill. Well acquainted with thnu} of this class, you know their attitude and their utterances. It is useless for me to dilate upon either. To this class do not belong. I am simply a tariff thief, but, as I have said, with & license steal. ‘Would End Protection. “But, on the other hand. I am & tariff reformer. I would like to see every protective schedule swept out of existence, my own included. “Meanwhile, what inducement have to go to Washington on a public A mere citizen, t no one. If I went I would receive from the committee scarcely a ful hearing—if any hearing at f others. And they say we do not exist. “Mesnwhile, I do know this: On every occasion when, of late, I have had oc~ easica to address :1“ ‘“glx'me' nx:g ref- évence to tection run’ or e sarift as m’pr.‘;nm" of ttusts’ has in- Yariably elicited a more spontaneous re- sponse than any other utterance I could make. This feeling is abroad, becoming stronger and will certainly, soon or late, be in evidence at the polls. Know Committees Packed. “Meanwhile the tens of thousands of who feel in that way, like my- self, cannot afford either the time or, more frequently, the money to go to ‘Washington to ask to be heard before s committee which, they know in ad- . vance, |:m both prejudiced and packed m. “I have in this letter set forth the situation, so far as a revision of the tariff is eoueer:e:r it ex;su ‘within your W ywledge an per- sonal knowledge. You are fi!oom to make such use of it before the com- mittee, or elsewhere, as you see fit. I should have no objection to seeing it in t.
