no cotton gloves were knit in Amer

could furnish them cents a pair

Cotton and Wages.
I'm the cotton schedule the testi-
mony showed that the increasing
prices of cotton and the increasing
wages of labor had the effect of re-
ducing the protection of the tariff. It
showed that the imports of cotton
goods were continually growing, from
80 millions of dollars year at the
time the Dingley act to between TO
and so millions of dollars in 1908. The
testimony showed that during that
time there was an increase in the
number of cotton mills all over the
south.
when the Dingley bill was enacted
there were about two million spindles
in the south and the number increased
in ten years to more than ten millions
of spindlesi They make all the coars-
err cloths and grades of cotton goods

that kind of business from New Eng

the finer goods that are now made
have been invented within the last ten
years. 1t appeared in the consular re-
ports that in the cotton mills in Bel
GUM labor was receiving but 8 cents
a cay, and that cotton raised in the
United States was imported into Bel
GUM, manufactured, and the finished
product was shipped back into the
United States. underselling the same
grade of goods made in the New Eng

"DER RING DIES NIBELUNGEN."

''Siegfried" Heard at the Metropolitan
by n Large Audience.
Der Ring des Nihelungen" reached its
second chapter yesterday afternoon at
the Metropolitan Opera House when
"Siegfried' was sung. The audience
was again one of size sufficient to testify
to the existence Of a real interest in the
continued tragedy of Wagner. The per-
formance sustained the high level Of ex-
cellence set in that OF Die Walktre' the
previous day. Indeed It may be said that
thus far the current series of representa-
tons OF Der Ring" is one Of the best
ever given in the house.
The illusion Of the drama was preserved
by retaining the impersonators Of the
characters. Nine Gadski was again the
Brannhilds. Mr.. Sooner the WotGn. Mr..
Reiss the Mime. Mr.. Goritz the Alberich
and Mr.. Blass the Fdfner. Mr.. Burrian
was the representative OF the young
Siegfrisd, who could be said to look and
sing very much like his father.
Nine. Homer was the Erdd and Miss
Alten was the forest bird. Many birds
sing with less trouble than this one. Mr.
Hertz continued to guide the forces
through the mazes OF the difficult scores
and the orchestra attended to its duties
with much devotion. The stage manage
ment was capable and the entire per-
formance moved with smoothness and
artistic spirit.

singular felicity to the entrance Of Ddlild.

The hackneyed air. Mon Cosur s'ouvr re

and musical ensemble with a persuasive
power not whit lessened by it's famil-

hold upon the public.
