SYMPHONY CONCERTS
BRILLIANT OPENING OF THE
 SEASON YESTERDAY.

Biggest Audience Ever Seen at sym- phony Concert fin New HAven-Two Thousand Eight Handrsd People in wooIssy Hall-FIattsrIng Outlook for the New Series.
 Midst the inspiring environment of Woolsey hall, the New Haven Sym phony orchestra opened the tenth sea- son of their concerts yesterday after noon. It was an suspicious beginning for this season on account of the splen- did audience which taxed Woolsey hall to it's seating capacity and the splendid performance by the orchestra. Over 2.S0O people were present. Bee thoyen's grand Fifth symphony in c minor was a most fitting beginning for the new series of orchestral con- certs.
 The orchestra which has been ade- uuately augmented this fall produced this masterpiece with precision and abundant colored tone quality. The strings were in excellent intonation WQle IuE WlIu pSGA SLCdlAJ AAAA proved over previous years. The beautiful andante was treated with ex- quisite taste by the strings and the quality of the oboe should be mentioned The brilliant close of the symphony with it's strong and invigorating con- struction was played with the requisite spirit and stirred the audiance to hearty applause. a s Miss Rio made her initial bow to New Haven last spring and when she stepped on the stage yesterday after noon she was accorded a royal well come. She sang Verdis aria from Aida accompanied by the orchestra. She possesses most attractive pres ence and voice of great range and clear quality. Her exquisite work was encored yociferously. Later she sang two songs, Songs My Mother Taught Me- by Dvorak, and 'Fallih, Fallah, :" by Van Der stucken, accompanied by David Stanley Smith at the piano. Rheinberger's concerts in E major for organ and orchestra is beautiful composition and keeps within the dig nity of organ music. The organ was played by Professor Harry B. Jepson. organist to the university. This con- certo shows off the stupendous scope of the Newberry organ, the specifica- tions for which were drawn up by Pro- lessor Samuel s. Sanford.
 The concerto was played for the first time in public at Munich in 1885 by Pro- lessor Parker.
 The Tannhauser overture brought the concert to close.
 It must be very gratifying to the Yale musical faculty and their friends to see the great leap of improvement in the orchestra and the interest the pub lie has shown toward the series of this year.
 The next concert will be on the even- ing of December 10, at which Harold Bauer, pianist, will be the soloist. Following is the programme: Ludwig Van Beethoven Symphony in

for James 0'Neirs engagement at the Hyperion opens this morning at a. m. After all, good workmanship is the great thing. 'The Candy Man." which is at the Hyperion next Monday night, is well made, because the men who made it know their trades; and it is we'll produced and managed, because the men at the helm are masters of theatrical seamanship. The most sue cessful piece of the kind in England last season and in America so far this season is "Three Little Maids" 'The Candy Man" is of the same classe. It is clean, witty, logical comedy, full of gaiety and bright color. The music, like the book, is merry without being vulgar The piece in its entirety is good art-which is good workmanship illuminated by inspiration-and it is just the sort of thing that is wanted to- day by theater-goers of the better class. Seat sale now open. Prices $1.50, $1 and 75 cents.
 John Drew under the management of Charles Frohman, will be seen in his latest New York success, Captain Dieppe,'' at the Hyperion on Saturday, November 2t.

he was also a great reader and pas siona&e student of English literature, especially the literature of the English revolutions of 1641 and 1888. He did not borrow much from others, but when he liked the ideas of others. he assimilated and digested them and made them his own And when the time for action came, as when he came to frame the Declara- ton of 1776, he had reservoir of his own to draw upon The best authorities agree that if it can be satd of Jefferson that hS was indebted to anybody for the con- tents of the Declaration. it was the cele- brated Englishman John Locke. the author of the so-called Treatise of Civil Government, published in 1890 in vindica- tion of the Whig Revolution of 1888. The following is correct extract from Lockes treatise: Men being by nature all free, equal and independent. no one can be put out of this estate and sub jected to the political power of another without his own consent" The reader will see at once the striking similarity between these words of Locke and those used by Jefferson eighty-six years later In the Declaration of l776. In letter to James Madison. dated August 30. lS23, Jefferson says of the Decfaration: Richard Henry Lee charged 1t as copied D
 Lee was no friend of Jefferson, and there is no wonder of we keep in mind the similarity just menti one6 that Lee made such a charge. Jefferson never directly denied it, but he said among other things, by way of explanations: T know only that turned to neither book nor pam phlet while writing it.

Exports of Manufactures.
New York Times.

New Iork IjmeS
 The monograph just issued by the Treasury Department showing the voi- ume and distribution of the exports or manufactures from the United states Is proha bly, the best answer whlcn couio pc given to the recent flood or aomin1stra- ticn literature designed to show how es- sential to the National prosperity IS tne maintenance of the present tarin, with its highly, and in many cases apsuroiy' protective duties. Our exports oI man 1880 to s4O3,641 ,401 in 1902. In 1880 they represented 12.$ per cent oI the total volume of domestic exports; in lyoz they represented 29.T per cent. This shows that exports of manufactures are n creasing much more rapidly than those Of the other great classes of domestic ex- ports.
 Equal interest attaches to the statistics of distribution. They show that about one-half of the total exports of manufac. lures goes to Europe. its absorption Of our products of this class having in creased from 900 in 1892 to $l91 ,OOo. : 900 in 1902. More than one-half of our total exports of manufactures goes to Great Britain and British colonies and one-half of this half, or one-quarter or tho total. is absorbed by Great Britain.
 An examination of the classes or manu- factures now principally exported shows that the largest group comprises manu- factures of iron and steel, which have grown from $25 900 GOO in 1890. to $9S, ,0O0, ,OWl in 1902 In 1900 they reached a total of S121, ,OO0, ,00. but owing to the extent Of the home demand, 1t was impossible even with our present productive facilities to maintain them at that figure. It will be remembered that a year ago all kinds of materials were in such demand that scarcity was felt in nearly every line. and fears were expressed that conservative influences would be unable to hold in con trol a well-developed tendency to push prices up to level at which these con ditions would have promptly corrected themselves. Pig iron started to run away. and we see the result in large i'm portations. in an enormous furnace ex- pansion, and in the recent drop of South ern irons of S1 to $1 50 per ton, with well | defined and increasing weakness, thus | ending q false situation. In our 1903 ex- | ports of manufactures. mineral oil and | it's products took second place, with S66, | GOO 600; copper goods come next, with $41, GOO, GOO; cotton goods next, with $S2 900, | GOO; leather goods next, with $29 0O0, O00

THEY DO NOT WANT HIM. says the New Haven Register:

Mir. Bryan is a beneficiary of the con- stitutionaI right of free speech and there cut next month, but 1t is mere pretense to assert that his services are deslred here in the best interests Of the Democ- racy.
 Our staid and esteemed old contempo- rary evidently doesn't consider the Boy Orator of the Platte a necessity fin New England politics. nor does 1t look on his proposed visit as an indispensable help to the Democracy of that section. To tell the truth, no one can tell of any thing to be accomplished by that visit except to stir up discord and prevent harmony. Of course Mir. Bryan has perfect right to visit New England or any other portion of our common coun- try, and to make speeches if he chooses, but a public man. claiming to be Dem ocrat. who sets out to make political tour of the country ought to have some good object in view.
 This MT. Bryan cannot have. His only object must be to exploit himself and hls views, and to attempt to form Kansas City platform clubs. as he is doing In the West, and to say that any good Is to be accomplished by that course is to shut our eyes to the facts as they exist. What ever may be said of other sections Of the country. the East. at all events, is sick of Bryanism and will have no more of it. To think that he cen work up a con trolling sentiment there for his views Is absurd. He couldn't carry any of the Eastern States in 1896 when he and his policies were at their zenith. and cer- | tainly he cannot expect to work up a following now when, ls a political leader | there is none so poor as to do him rev | erence.''
 Just why MT. Bryan should make a
 political tour of New England is one of the mysteries of the situation It may | be that he has some followers there who
 have made him believe that he can re-
 vivify the mohbund free silver craze, but if they are thus playing on his credulity
 it is a cruel and unproftable amuse'
 ment. He can do nothing for himself and
 If he is making the visit in the interest | of some other Presidential candidate the experiment will be worse than useless He is liable to queer any public mar
 whose cause he espouses, so far as tho East is concerned He may widen tht breach existing between Eastern Demo crats and make 1t impossible for oul ticket to carry one of those States, anC Il that is all he can do. The interests ot
 Democracy will be much better subservet
 by his absence than by Ais presence. 1T Connecticut, at least.

DoDoINo THE TAXES.

The state of Virginia has an income tax which fails to give satisfaction, the main cause of failure being the exemp- ton clauses All incomes of $500 or less per annum are exempt, and all corpora lions except railroads are exempt from the tax. The Richmond Times Dispatch claims that tax of 70 cents on each $10o of. income would be no hardship, and arr gues this way:
 young men in Virginia who make at least $6o0 a year. and who pay no taxes what ever. because they do not happen to own any taxable property. Many of them do not even pay the capitation tax But if and home or . few 1 per cent. bonds. the State lays It's hands upon her pittance and takes part of it, while the young man who earns good salary goes free.
 To formulate and enforce an equitable system of taxation is one of the most diffcult problems that comes before any body of law makers As The Times Dis patch says, each person and corporation should bear a just proportion of the ex- penses of Government. but how to ac- complish that end is the diniculty which no law has yet surmounted. The exemp- ton clause in a revenue law is always a source of worry to the ofIicials and of loss to the state. and this is especially applicable to income taxes. If no income is taxed unless 1t exceeds s6o0 a year, it leaves loop-hoie for escape which thous- ands will take advantage of. And. to come down to the strict equity of 1t, why should not the man who receives e yearly income of 800 or $500 pay something for the support of. the Government as we'll as the one who receives ten times as much? Each receives the protection of the laws in an equal degree. and each is equally benefited by good government. and it is difficult to see why one should
 escape all share of the burden.
 | As our contemporary observes, the poor
 widow-or the poor man, for that matter 4who owns a little real estate must pay
 the tax on 1t, because there is no way to hide 1t or deny it, and although it
 may not produce one dollar of income.
 the annual taxes must be paid or the
 State will confiscate the property. But
 the young man whose annual salary Is $500, and who Is far more able to pay taxes than the smali real estate holder,
 goes free. Ben Franklin said that fin
 this world nothing is certain but death
 and taxes" but the taxes are not always
 certain in these days. In truth there are too many men who, in the words of Syd- ney Smith. prefer any load of infamy. however great. to any pressure of taxa ti,n, however light" but when the law itself provides the way for escape the men are not so much to blame as the law is. And we have not yet seen any perfect plan or system of taxation.

SIZING HIM UP.

treally appears to Democrat that the independent New York Post is almost guilty of lese majesty in the following paragraph:
 If President Roosevelt's speech at Mn neapolis were submitted as thesis for a prize, or for a degree in political econ omy. it would be rejected by any board of examiners in the world. It is so self contradictory and so at variance with for mer protectionist< arguments that It can not he taken seriously. Such tumble cannot be held to express any real opin- ions of the speaker himself but rather those which he thin<s wili just now catch the greatest number of votes.
 And then The Post gives us column editorial pointing out .he Inconsistencies and fallacies of the speech. concluding with this good finishing touch:
 substance that we have the mightiest and most prosperous manufacturing tn- dustry in the world (which is the truth and for that reason we ought not to abandon the policy of protection. The out and topsyturvy. The dogmas upon which protection is founded are in dis solution, but the practice continues all the same. In one part of his speech Mir Roosevelt seems to argue that thu. sys. remembering at an opportune moment that Governor Cun.nins and Chairman Babcock and other influential Repubii- cans hold contrary views, he says par. enthetically that changes may be made in particular paragraphs or schedules wherever and whenever necessary Then he introduces another saving clause: ''If such change is demanded whole" Who Is to determine when a change is necessity? Who is to decide whether the interests of the nation as whole demand that our protected man. ufactures shall be sold as cheaply to do. mestic consumers as to foreigners? Un- til now we have allowed the producers oI the goods to answer these questions fol us, and We see no sign that President Roosevelt contemplates any different way of reaching a decision.
 The concluding sentence of the first extract above quoted is the key to the speech. It expresses the sentiments
 which he thinks will just now catch the most votes.' That sizes the matter ur exactly. Mir. Roosevelt Is in a portion of the country where there Is very con siderable feeling in favor of tariff re. vision. He Is in the country of Babcoci and Cun,mins and other members of hi. party who refuse to look on the present
 tariff as something too sacred to be ever thought unkindly of There is a feeling of unrest and uncertainty in the grea West which Is not altogether satisfac tory or comfortable. In the Eastern ant Middle States he thinks he has things pretty securely fixed, but he is not sur,
 of the West, and the West is important.
 It was this feeling of uncertainty anc
 insecurity which led to his almost un precedented trip West, and 1t Is the sam' feeling which leads him into the incon sistencies and contradictions noted b. The Post. He is trying to catch thu
 greatest number of votes" and he is striv ing to attain that object without mucl
 regard for his own record-or want o | record-on the tariff. Probably he wil succeed, but he isn't adding much to hi stock of laurels as a statesman.
