Dramatic Notes.

THE monkey loaned by Manager Davis, Of the
Fifth Avenue Museum, to the "Under the Gas
light Company was so alarmed at Senator
Frank Belts oratory in the Tombs police court
scene that he bit the "supe'' who carried him.
The .'supe'' did not retaliate by biting the
monkey; he was too humane for that. But he
hit the progenitor of a Darwin-yet-to-De with a
club. Thereupon the long-tailed philosopher
screamed, and a report spread that the monkey
was dead. A messenger sent by Manager Davis
discovered however, that the monkey was all
right, although at one time his teeth had been
in the ''supe," as it were.
ONE of the curious things about the per-
formance at the Bijou last night was the al
most unanimous desire of the audience to 90

the audience was affected by the weather.

THE sENATE's MISTAKE.

The vote in the Senate yesterday, by
which the sugar schedule as it came from
the House, was amended so as to reimpose the
duties on grades between Nos. 13 and 16,
and the duty above No. 16 was placed at
6-10c per pound was a mistake that can only
be attributed to the work of the Sugar Trust
among the Senators. The same work may
have been perceived in the amendment
which was proposed by Senator Quay, to
still further raise the sugar duties, which
was happily defeated. r-r ?.
OF course, the fact should be recognized
that even the Senate schedule makes graf
flying reduction in the sugar duties The
increase is from N to Q $40 cents per
pound; while the margin OF protection given
to sugar refners is cut down from Il to 1c.
This is a gratifying move in the right direc-
ton and will result in a. material cheaper
ing of this article of universal consumption.
So far as it goes it is to be approved; but its
mistake lies in the fact that after the stand
ard had been set for more marked reduc-
ton, the Senate made move in retrograde
without the slightest necessity.
The reinposition of duty on the grades
of sugar from Nos. 13 to 16 puts the Senate
in peculiar light. These grades comprise
a class of yellow sugars which, if imported

1t is true that human greed and short
sightedness often lead people to try to get
more than they give, even in the legitimate
operations of trade; but it is in the check
which it imposes on such selhshuess that
competition has its great social value. That
force impels men to expand their trade by
giving the best values in exchange for what
they receive. 1t does not induce men to
give away their commodities or service that
would lnflict loss on them, while the pur-
pose of competition is gain. But where this
influence is free it establishes the rule that
he will gain most who finds the way of
making commercial services the cheapest.
This is the reason why those who seek to
pervert trade into a scheme of getting more
than they pay for, always dread competition
and seek means of obstructing or prevent
ing it.
There was never more necessity of insist
ing on this clear line of demarkation be-
tween legitimate and illegitimate efforts of
commerce than at present. Nearly all the
social problems of the day are affected by
the principle that the trade which is based on
the principle of the greatest mutual ad-
vantage to both parties, is a benefit to man.
kind, and that wealth obtained by such
trade is fairly earned while that which is
created by success in the line of getting
more than one pays for" is burden and
curse to mankind.

WASHINGTON Post (Rep.): Senator Ingalls,

Senator Quay evidently believes this very

the Scranton Truth against Delamater and its
bold advocacy of the election of Pattison with
Va Legislature pledged to the realization of
ballot reform at the earliest possible opportu-

many Republican protests against the success
of that party's candidate for Governor.

was made to say that Mr.. Pattison was entitled
to the support of the Democracy. The Press

interview was bogus. The Patriot reaffirms its

PHILADELPHIA Press (Rep.): Senator Quay

he can come to Pennsylvania and give his un-

draperles being particularly noticeable. The
scenes on the river 'front.' and the railroad sta
ton, have some realistic effects, but they can
not be compared to the spectacular trlumphs
which melodrama has achieved in recent years.

Just one little question to the managers and
makers of melodrama: Would it not be profit
able as well as artistic to produce melodrama
with a slight resemblance to real life? Under
the GaslIght' and almost every melodrama in
the same class is tissue of improba billties;
the characters are monstrosities of vice and
virtue; the dialogue Is not of the earth at all,
and we believe intelligent American audiences
are heartily tired of them.

THE RasIs OLE TRADE

We regret to-observe, in recent editorial
Of the New York World, that our out
spoken and generally correct cotemporary
has SO far fallen IN with a prevalent eco
nomic heresy as to say, in an article on the
prevalence of gambling: Getting more
than enc pays fer is the basis of trade as
well as gambling
1t Is especially unfortunate when a Jour
laT OF the standing of the World commits
if the assertion is true it takes away the
ground ier its pfaiseworthy opposition to
some of the great evils of the day. II it
were she fact that getting more than one
pavsfor is the basis of trade, trusts and
pools occupy no different position from the
rest of trade, the speculators who bet on the
rise and fall of prices would stand just
where the merchant does who sells COM
munity its supplies. and the manipulators
who get the money of the public by whole
sale e0uge games in watered stocks would
be beyond the criticism of mankind. Such
immunity need not, however, be declared in
favor Of the demoralizers TO finance simply
becouse the principal asserted is essentially
false.
The basis of all trade is the exchange of
products. 1t is plain that if one man has
raised food and another has made clothing
and there were but those two to trade, the
exchange between them of their surplus
products would benefit both. Neither
would get more than he pays for, but both,
would give and receive full value and both
would be benefited by the transaction. The
transaction may be varied by thousands of
details; the exchange of products between
producers, separated by oceans and conti-
nents may be performed by middlemen be-
cause they can render that service eeonomi-
callv; the Limited operations of barter may
be- indefaitsly expanded BY the use of
circulating measure OF values; but all the
variations do aet,remeve commerce from its
basic principle, that it is the exchange of
products. In that exchange every legiti-
mate operation has the justification of being
a service rendered in making or facilitating
the exchange;and every separate transac-
ton should stand uponythe human and
moral principle that beth parties shall gain
by getting what they want.

free, could be used by poor people without
refining. The Senate's. action gives free
raw material to the Sugar Trust, but when
it comes to the point where free raw ma
terial in the shape Of food product might
be given to class that cannot pay for
higher grades of sugar, it practically de-
clares that what it confers on the trusts it
will deny to the poorer wage workers. The
amount of duty imposed is small, but the
distinction which is raised against the peo-
pie is a remarkably invidious one. of which
the Senate will hear more in the future. if
its schedule prevails.
The increase of the duty on the higher
grades is also unjustifable. 1t is based on
the plea of protection to the refners. But
this plea has been exploded long ago. In
the first place, the refners by combining in
the Sugar Trust to defeat the main purpose
OF protection, forfeited any claim that they
might have had TO protection: second, the
Sugar Trust investigation showed that the
sugar refining industry had very slight need
of protection; and finally, concsding the
plea, the House schedule gave ample pro-
lection to the refners. The census Of 1880
shows that the entire wages paid for refining
sugar in that year was little over ~ per
cent of the value of the product The duty
proposed in the House bill was abeut62s per
cent of the value of the product. The Sem
ate, therefore, ON the plea of protection to
refining, imposes duty four times the en-
tire labor cost of the product; and the diff
ference between refining in this country and
England is in the wages paid to labor.
Such change from the House schedule
is clearly open to the charge of greater favor
on the part of the Senate to the Trust than
to the common people. 1t is to be hoped
that in conference the House will be able to
have its sugar schedule replaced. 1t is far
more in the interest of the public than the
Senate's, S..

PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. SEPT. 9. 1890
MIR. CARNEGIE,s FRANKNEss.-

1t appears that Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has
been offending the English nobility and
gentry by his gift of plain talk. In his
speech at Dundee he took occasion to say
that if it were not for the system of entailed
estates the English aristocracy would drink
and gamble itself into poverty. As good
share of the aristocracy come close to doing
that even with their protecting system Of
entail, the English view of the speech is
very clearly that it is one of those truths that
should not be spoken, and the punishment
that Mr.. Carnegie will receive is outlined
to the effect that it will somewhat inter-
fere with Mr. Carnegie's success as a culti-
vator of relations with the leaders of En-
glish society"
We doubt if even this fearful threat will
dampen the sanguine spirit of our star
spangled Scotcbman. Mr.. Carnegie has
shown that he knows when to hold his
tongue and when to speak right out in meet
ing; and the fact that he has disburthened
his mind concerning royalty and aristoeraey
may be taken as presumptiVe proof that ne
is prepared to accept the results. But it Is
BY no means certain that the punishment
which the Jenkinses predict TO be in store
for him viii be administered. Some of the
most outspolzen of republicans have been
llonized bv English society, and especially
when the opponent of aristocracy is a
millionaire, the disposition to cultivate the
'ree-spoken product of Scotland and the
United States combined, is likely to prove
r,,1 h., II, 10
him to the fearful punishment of ostracism
for the crime of expressing his opinions.
1t may seem strange at this distance that
English society could find any objections to
the statement of such manifest truths as
those which Mr.. Carnegie has perpetrated.
But perhaps moments reflection will show
us that it is, after all, no more than human
nature. Every nation has its subjects about
which it is not permitted to speak too
plainly. In England you may criticize
ROYALTY and aristocracy in a respectful
frame of mind; but if you speak the whole
truth Won offend the national taste for wor-
Shipping lord. In this country our priv
ileged Glasses are the politicians ana corpo-
rations; and while guarded criticism is per-
mftted, too free departure into the prac-
tiees of the Palace of Truth will earn gen.
eral censure. as Bob Kennedy, of Ohio, is
likely to find out.
We cannot find it in our hearts to regret
that Mr.. Carnegie has stirred up the British
lion. We do not think that he wishes to
iniuge the royal beast; but if he finds it in
cumbent on him to say things that lacerate
the British susceptibilities, it is safe to
wager that no one will enjoy the fun of
listening to the roars more than MIR. Car

A WORD FOR THE WEED.
Lenf Tobacco Importers Petition Congress
TO Amend the Mckinley Bill.

TO Amend the- Mckinley Bill.
NEW YORK, September S.-The Leaf To-
bacco Board of Trade recently issued call for
a meeting of importers of leaf tobacco to take
action on the Mckinley tariff bill. The meet
ing took place to-day and there was very large
attendance, the largest houses in the trade be-
ing represented. Carson Mayer, President of
the Board, occupied the chair The chairman
explained that it would result in disaster to
the trade if the Mckinley bill was passed in
the present shape, and it would be impossible
to get the merchandise out of bond in the time
proposed by the bill The meeting was
unanimously in favor of petition to Congress
present form. The resolution was as follows:
the Government in duties on the large quantities
of imported tobacco lying in the United States
bonded warehouses at the time o. the passage Of
the Mckinley tariff bill, should the same become
money market. 1t would be difficult for the i'm
porters to raise this large amount and then only
by paying eXorbitant rates of interest their
financial station being thereby jeopardiZed; and,
withdrawal from circulation Of from $50 006 600 to
$780, OOO 0UO the estimated amount of duties the
various classes of merchandise now lying in the
United States warehouses, might cause panic in
Whereas, The object of the Mckinley tariff bill
would in no way be affected by the granting OF
our petition.
Resolved, That the United states Senate and
House of Representatives all be petitioned to SO
amend the tariff bill SO that the rate Of duty i'm
posed in the Mckinley tariff bill shall not apply
to merchandise imported into this country prior
TO the passage of the bill and lying in bonded
warehouses at that time. (slgned:1 assos NAVE,
