M,vEAoa ON PAYNE TARIFF.
Its Greatest Merit 10 lmprsvsas Tread sr
Repubiican Theught.


BosroN, Dec. s.-FrankIin Macveagh.
Secretary Of the Treasury. addressed the
Massachusetts Bankers Association this
evening.
Secretary MacveaRh dismissed the
currency reform QUESTION with the state
ment that II vns In the hands OF tho None
tary Commission and thence would 20
TO Congress before IL came to his De-
partment. The Secretary then addressed
himself to the Payne tarin law, saying
in part:
The friends of tsrin revision never ex-
pected that the tarin law of lsos would COM
plete the movement. It was cert ainly
expected that the Payne-bil would end the
actual legislation for the present. IL Is
certainly hoped that q reasonable space
for rest for business has been secured.
An excellent reason for a reasonable
pontponement OF an attempt az further
tartn legislation. in addition to the need
OF business rest, is that we ought to do no
more legislsting onthe tariff until we know
better how to legisiate on u. The opinion
" practically universal that hereafter snch
teetsiafion must be based upon facts and
scientific invest igation. and not upon mere
bartertnx between sect ions and interests.
II Ii necessary therefore 90 wait for such
facts. and to produce these facts We have now
competent agency.
tu ftrutS tutfr ~ our
great fact that makes q new tariff epoch.
That fact In the Republican party has
changed its front and is marching toward
lower tariffs. This 10 q wonderful, radical
change whose Importance has not been
sumciently weighed. IL was undoub btedly
confirmed by the Payne law. Compared
with this change OF fundamental policy
any omission OF q reduction in an individual
schedule seems TO me practically negligible.
It 10 true that the Payne bill does not
coatain ne much downward revision a. the
great majority OF the Republican party
wished. or as the President wished. But
leaving out OF consideration the actual
revisions which do. however. mark the
Payne bill as Q revision downward-the
progressive tarin movement Of the Repub-
iicans has been decidedly advanced. and
henceforth the party cannot and will not
look In any other direction than the direc-
ton Of this movement until the tarif laws
have been nnally placed upon thoroughly
scientific basis. and upon . basis Of scientific
Justice TO both consumers and producers
as we'll as TO the Government itself.
OF course one may n he wishes Hn his
mind completely with the failure OF the bill
to deal with the wool schedule. or he may
dwell 10 the exclusion Of everything but wool
upon the cotton schedule. and Il Is those two
conspicuous schedules which in the main
have made the unfavorabie impression
where an unfavorsble impression exists.
But you choose simply and calmly TO
admit TO yourself that these two schedules
are unrevised and should have been re-
vised. and then set them aside labelled.
you can turn your attention 10 other features
Of the law and nnd that decided progress
has been made

WASHING TON. Dec. SIT became known
to-day that President Taft was advised

resentative Weeks and other members
OF the National Alopetary CoLamissiou
were opposed TO the passage OF a savings

to prevent the passage OF a measure at
this session creating n postal savings
bank unless the President can be per-
saaded not 70 urge the subject A nem-
ber or the Monetary CommissiCn said

Indicated in his message that he desired
the creation OF postal savings BAN
without delay. II is true the party 10
committed tn such IN institution. } ut
to nv mind IL would be uhwise TO ac'
at this time. The President suggests
that the postal savings bank should not
be tied up with the report OF the None
tsry Commission. | see no force in this
system is one OF the sub jects under Gun
sideration by the commission. We
" ould prefer 70 have action delayed Oh
such a n easure until it could be con-
sidered With other measures providing
for q thorough revision Of our banking
aud currency laws. II is idle to argue
that the establishment of n new banl:
to he cond,c cted under the supervision
OF the Federal Government need not
be taken up coincident with the eract
ment OF new monetary laws
There IL a considerable number OF
Senators and Representatives Who are
iiIsistent that now is the time to pass a
postal savings bank bill. Among these
are such conservatives as Senator Carter
OF Montana. The radicals are for IL
almost to a man.
Every effort will pc made to pass such
a bill before adjournment. said Sena-
tor Clapp OF Minnesota. who Is recog-
nized as q radical. -Such n bill must
be drawn with greet care We rnust

MR.. HAMLIN'S RECITAL.

Lovers of artistic songs and artistic singing al
ways hail the announcement of recital by Mr.
George Hamlin with delight 1t is guarantee Of
q serious programme, and honest and high endeav-
or. Hackneyed lists not to the taste of Mr.
Hamlin, and his knowledge of song lterature-es-
pecialy German song Iterature-ts so large that
he is at loss for compositions which either
pique the curiosity crafty the taste of the con-
noisseur. In the programme of the recital which
he gave yesterday afternoon in Carnegie Hall, for
instance, there were two songs by Schubert which,
if they have appeared on recital programmes here
tofore must have escaped the attention of the clos
est observers. Yet of them must be set down
as among the remarkable of Schubert's lyrical
eusions. because of the modern nature of its har-
nomination 1t is the setting of Ruckerts poem,
'Das sic her gewesen." Unfortunately, the ele-
ment which gives it its chief charm stands in the
way Of its successful Interpretation. Imagination
might picture Mime. Sembrich singing it and trans
porting song lovers susceptible to its peculiarly
subtle charm but to do that requires not only ex-
quiste musical sensibilities but also nice appre-
citation of sublimated poAsy and a profound musi-
cianship
Mr. Hamlin is in a high degree intelligent
singer, but subtle changes of key frequently dis
turb his intonation and for the moment mar the
pleasure which his singing always gives His pre-
eminent quality of manly sincerity was much in
evidence yesterday, and was offset only by his
occasional lapses from true pitch and the quality of
his forced high tones. The fourth division OF his
programme composed of English songs by
Roger QuilteF, which made a mixed impression.
-Four of them were settings Of songs from the
Elizabethan period and in two of them the wish
would not down that the modern musician had left
well enough alone. 1t is scarcely 10 be asked that
the musician of to-day, who roams through all
nteratures like a raging lion seeking something to
compose. will leave Shakespeares lyrics alone but
song lovers who know 20 Mistress Mine, Where
Are You Roaming recovered from Morleys

called Queen EIizabeths Virginal Book" or DR..

GATTI-CASAZZA HERE
Metropolitan Director Engaged to
Marry Nine. aida, Opera Singer.

Giulio Gatti-casazza. director OF the Metropol-
itan Opera House, arrived here from Milan vester-
day the American liner st. Louis He stood oy
the starboard rail OF the steamer as the revenue
cutter alongside and waved his hand TO sew
eral friends on board He was anxious to know
the newsthat is the latest news in 'the art world
and turning to Mr.. Centanni. his assistant at
the Metropolitan. who speaks English asked nina 10
inquire OF the the cutter.
"Signer Gatti-Casazza would like to know the
latest news" shouted Centanini The director
looked pleased when the the cutter respond
ed in one breath: "Pittsburg won: Johnson put
Ketchel out in the twelfth and 1t looks as II Ban
nard would get the Mayors job"
The director listened attentively as Centanini
translated, and when he got as far as the knock
out" in San Francisco the smiling face Of Gatti-
Casazza frown.
Later as the St Louis steamed up the bay and
representatives from the opera house talked of art
the italian director said that he had piece or news
70 divulge himself. Then he announced that he was
singer who will appear this season az the Metro
politan Opera House No date has been set for
the wedding but the director said he thought 1t
would be within four or five months.
The director said negotiations were in progress
with one Of the foremost artists of the world but
that announcement would be deferred until the
contract actually signed. which would be be-
fore the end of the week. The director said that
several operas would be produced this sea-
son at the Metropolitan and many new voices
Among the members of the company will
be Senorita Hidalgo, coloratura soprano, who is
only seventeen years old. but who. according TO
Gatti-Casazza, is the best Regina he ever saw in
"The Barber OF Seville" From st. Petersburg
comes Mile. HeIiane. prima donna soub-ette. who
is English and a niece of Lord Mimic. Viceroy of
India.
Gatti-Casazza said that he wanted TO deny re-
mark attributed to him in an interview printed in
a Milan newspaper and afterward cabled to New
York that the Italians had triumphed over the
Germans at the Metropolitan. He said that he had
engaged fewer Italian singers than usual and that
the Metropolitan In its aim for artistic perfection,
| was Indifferent to the nativity of singer,
| When asked If he thought it feasible to produce
| grand opera in English, Gatti-Casazza replied in
| an emphatic affirmative. saying he believed that
| certain famous operas would have been Just as
successful had they first been presented in English
! The director said he thought that GOldmarks s
! Cricket on the Hearth" which is to be produced
| in English the coming season at the Metropolitan,
would be great success He was most optimistic
regarding Bruno's 'L'Attaque du Moulin, LIE
| Chenineau," by Leroux and Laparras La Ha
/ banera.'
