any other in- could be lie The letter My dear Mr 1 have your letter oi inquiry as to whether I see any reason to change the views which I expressed on April UO last year upon the called debenture plan introduced by the senate into tho tariff I do not Some minor alterations have been made in the plan which do not go to the essential fact that the practical working of it will depress and not elevate prices to the farmer The plan in the present pre- sents an additional objection in that tho export subsidies proposed vary with different agricultural products and thus am widely different to ferent farmers They vary about 9 per cent upon the cost of production of rye to apparently near 100 per cent on tobacco in the latter case growers could afford to uct and export it from the subsidy alone
