were quite likely to be equally biased
on the other side.
MIR. Payne reported a bill-the
Payne bill-whieh Nent to the senate
and was amended in the senate BY in
creasing the duty On some things and
decreasing it on others. The differ
ence between TIE house bin and the
senate bill was very much less than
the newspapers represented
IT turns out upon examination that
the.reductions in the senate We're about
equal to those in the house, though
they differed In character. The passage
or q new bill. especially where a
change In the method of assessing the
duties has feen followed. presents an
opportunity for various modes and cal
culations OF the percentages of in
creases and decreases that il really

light at all upon the changes made.
Shows Proportion.
zone way Of stating what was done
Is to say what the facts show-that
under the Dingiey law there were 2.02i
items. This included dutiable items
only The Payne law leaves i.15e of
these items unchanged. There are de-
creases in s54 of the items and in
creases in 30 of the items Now. of
course. that does not give a full pic
ture. but it does show the proportion
of decreases to have been three times
those of the Increases.
attempts have been made to show
what the real effect Of these changes
have been by comparing the imports
under the various schedules and as
Stunning that the changes and their
Importance We're in proportion to the
importations. Nothing could be more
Unjust in a protective tariff which also
contains revenue provisions. Some Of
the tariff Is made for the purpose of
increasing the revenue by increasing
importauons which shall ]. pay duty.
Other items m THE tariff ara made to
reduce competition, that Is, by re-
ducing importations. and therefore the
question of the Importance of change
in rate cannot in the slightest degree
be determined by the amount of i'm
ports that take place.
In order to determine the impor-
lance Of the changes 1t is much fairer
to take the articles on which the rates
of duty have been reduced and those
on which the rates have been in
creased. and then determine from sta
tistics how large a part the articles
upon which duties have been reduced
play in the consumption of the coun-
try and how large a part those upon
which the duties have been increased
play. Such a table has been prepared
by Mr. Payne. than whom there Is no
one who understands better what the
tariff is. and who has given more at
tention to the details of the schedules.

d
difficulty about the wool schedule Is
tons early In the history of republican
tariffs-wool growers and the wooler
manufacturers-and that finally, many
years ago, they settled on basis bs
which wool in the grease should hay,
IL cents a pound, and by which al
lowance should be made i'm ths
shrinkage In the differential upon WOO
manufactures. The percentage of dut,
was heavy-quite beyond the differ
ence of the cost of production. which
was not then regarded as n necessary
or proper Limitation on protective du'
ties -
There has been increase by the nat
ural increase i'm the price of wool the
world over as an agricultural product
but this was not due To the tariff, be-
cause the tariff was not changed. The
increase would, therefore. have taken
place whether the tariff was changed
or not. The cost of WOODEN cloths. be-
hind the tariff wall. through the eff
feet Of competition. has been greatly
less than the duty. II added to the
huQiu

On the whole, however, / am bound
to say that l think the Payne tariff
bill Is the best tariff bill that the re-
publican party ever passed: that in II
the party has conceded the necessity
for following the changed conditions
and changed tariff rates accordingly.
This Is a substantial achievement in
the direction of lower tariffs and down
ward revision, and ii ought to be ac-
cepted as such.
Not the Tariff.
The high cost of living. of which
so per cent Is consumed on food. -
per cent en- clothing and IS per cent n
rent and fuel, has not been produced
by the tariff. because the tariff has
remained the same while the increases
have gone on. / am not saying that

items that enter into the necessities

PHILADELPHIA
"The Gid from Paris.

The return of Louis Mann ought to
prove an interesting occasion to Philadel-
phia playgoers, with whom he has been
great favorite ever since his appearance
in Philadelphia as the Swiss Inn-keeper
in ''The Girl from Paris" which had a
run in 1897 in the Chestnut Street Thea
tire. Mr.. Mann's returned to the Chest
nut Street Opera House, Philadelphia,
last evening, where he, for the first time
in Philadelphia, was seen in the title role
of The Man who Stood STILL" manager
tally described as comedy of character
in New York's East Side" Mann, as
John Krauss, is said to have the kind of
role for which he has long been pining-
role permitting him to make an appeal
in eccentric character along lines that are
not unre1ieved1y farcical. The plays tells
the story of an old Swiss who refuses to
keep pace with his business rivals in the
battle for trade. To him the ways of his
forbears are good enough. 1t is so with
him, not alone in business, but in every
department of life. The hustle and rush
and go of American life make no appeal
to him. An incident of the play is game
of pinochle played by KrausS and his
lifelong pal, Spiegel; and this is said to
be one of the funniest scenes ever placed
on the American stage. Mr.. Mann brings
back to Philadelphia not only Mathilde
Cotrelly, 50 long an idol in Philadelphia
in the days of the McCaull Opera Com
pany, but also Robert Fischer, who ought
to be remembered for his acting as Baron
Stein in the famous 1892 revival of
Diplomacy made by Rose and Charles
Coghlan. Emily Ann Wellman, Lillian
Sinnott, Leslie Bassett, H. A. LaMotte,
Edward Maynard, John Charles and
Frank Julian, are others in Mr. Mann's
support. Seats for the first week of the
engagement are on sale now

The Fair in Operation.

Another mile stone In its history is noted
to-day by the opening of the Mount Holly
Fair. There were many to congratulate
the management as soon as the gates were
opened, because of the excellent at
fractions to be presented during the next
four days, and because Of the well-filled
exhibition buildings. Fluctuations will also
come from hundreds of children, who are
always guests of the society on the first
day of the fair. AS the farmers and pol
iticians haYe their day, so must the child
rem, and everything is thrown open to
their free use and enjoyment. That they
will make good use of their opportunity
goes without saying.
On every side there is evidence that the
fair will be greater, grander and better
than ever. This is due to several causes,
one of them being that the management
has deviated from its established policy
and exceeded It's usual appropriation Of
past years. A part of this money has
been expended for vaudeville attractions,
and the wisdom of this move is expected
to bring good returns. The Burlington
County Fair Association has determined
to keep pace with other fairs In this re
spect, because it is a feature becoming
more and more in demand on the part Of
patrons who have cultivated taste fol
hair-raising acts and other thrillers al
grand stand attractions between the racing
heats. 1t will also be apparent that extrs
money has been expended to those wht
witness the unusually daring balloon as
tensions. From two aerial ships two mel
will drop from each, the like Of which hal
never been seen here before. This Is only
one feature In which thousands of people
will be interested.
Aside from the great bill of vaudevill,
attractions there will be a midway, suffi
cient in itself to compensate one for hi
admission fee. All along the line booth
and tents have been erected and other
are to follow. By tomorrow this avenu
will present many freaks Of nature ant
other wonders of the world.
The clerical force of the fair started
in this morning with the duties assigned
them, and those engaged in arranging ex
hibits will have that work completed b.
tonight.

Miss Minnie Victorson has recently
signed contracts to appear during the
coming season in "The Woman Pays" a
new play from the pen of Avery Hopgood,
the clever young author of CLOTHES"
and other successful pieces. ''The Wo-
man Pays is a highly emotional drama,
with plentiful leaven of delightful COM
edy. It deals with the great primary
human emotions, and with the greatest OF
all 1oves,-that of mother for her child.
It tells story of universal interest and
appeal, and gives Miss Victorson ample
opportunity to display her very marked
emotional powers. The play will be pre-
scented at the Auditorium, Burlington, on

that's the kind "C1othes" is It's title
suggests as much, and the costuming of
the lady members of the Orpheum Com
pany, at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, this week, will prove it.
The play was written for Grace George
and successfully produced by her, two or
three seasons ago, and is pretty sure to be
an admirable vehicle for the display of
the versatile talent and the the best bib
and tucker of Orpheum people. The
play, as might be deduced from its title,
is a commentary on the ultra fashionable
set of to-day, and its almost Unsuitable
passion for fnery. CLOTHES" always has
been, and will continue to be, an appeal
ing subject for conversation among
women. In the play the authors have
tried to show that some women will even
go further than mere talk for the sake of
fine clothes. An interesting story has
been put together, and its scenes have
been laid in a small, but exclusive, set of
New Works social leaders. Here we are
introduced to butterflies of fashion that

Nell IN ''Spr1ngt1me.
"Springtime, in which the new star
Nell will first be seen at the Garrick
Theatre, Philadelphia, October 4th, I'M
der the direction of Frederic Thompson,
is novel and unusual dramatic work by
Booth Harrington and Harry Leon Viii
son. lin announcing the opening Mr..
Thompson has this to say of the play;
As the name suggests, it is play rodol-
ent of blossoms and 10 ve-a drama OF
tenderness and beauty, innocence and
honest emotions Old Louisiana in the
tempestuous days of 1875, when General
! Andrew Jack son was capturing New
Orleans froml the British, furnishes the
locale and the settings, while the juxta-
ositreon of money-making Yankees and
ptrici ian descendants of adventurous
F an CHI settlers, supplies the contrasting
characters of the play. Notwithstanding
/ the martial times during which the
action takes place, "Springtime" has
chiefly to do with the newborn love OF
the maiden Madeleine for a stalwart
American youth, whose every word and
deed was indicative of the best in Ameri-
can manhood then as now. The young
girl is an utterly new character and one
which has been written to fit the physical
( and artistic qualities of the dainty actress,
Nell. The personality of this girl is re-
markable for its innate womanliness and
spotless purity; the curious experiences
and difficulties which she encounters
while following the winding path of a
first true love are replete with novel
situations which are as interesting as
they are unusual she and the young star
who impersonates her are bound to be-
come classic features of the American
drama. Throughout the play there runs
an undercurrent of musical accompan1-
ment which, while it does not obtrude
itself on the senses of the audience, SO
mirrors the action and sentiment of the
piece that it almost becomes a breathing
part of it. This music, in its way quite
as exceptional as the work of Mr.. Tark-
ington and Mr.. Wilson, has been COM
posed and arranged by Harry Rowe
Shelley 1t is not only different but
me1odious. The winsome star, her sup
porting company of famous players, the
tuneful accompaniment, the elaborate
scenic production, the pretty costumes
and quaint characters of picturesque
yesterday, together with as delightful a
love story as has ever been written since
"Romeo and Juliet" make the advent
of Nell in "Springtime" an important
event in our theatrical history.
