WITH loud acclaim, the Republican
standpatters are pointing to a loss of
customs revenue under the Under
wood Tariff. Not a word about the
income tax, however-not a word.
Not a syllable about the transfer of
this part of the burden of taxation
from the shoulders of the poor to the
shoulders of the rich-not a single
SYLLABLE.

OUR Republican friends used to tell
us how Protection reduced prices to

ready facility adspts them to every
circumstance and condition, regard

Those who bear the burden of war

not been held true in the Old World,

consequence, has been enriched with
the blood of victims to the ambition

UNDER the republican tariffs of
years past the price of wheat in the
markets went up or down according
as the yield was small or large, and
everybody agreed that price was a
matter of the supply. Under the
democratic tariff now in force, if we
are to believe the republican cam
paigners, the tariff is the sole deter
mining factor. How many persons
do you suppose will be fooled by this
transparent Observation-Disclosures.
Yes, l have known wheat to sell as
low as Fifty cents per bushel under
Republican tariff, and remember it's
going to $2.50a bushel in the f1fties
while the low Walker tariff prevailed.
Yet, when wheat fell to about SO cents
a few weeks ago, some of the South
east G. o. p. organs said it was conse-
quent upon "Wilson free trade"

Brilliant Audience Includes

Sumptuous Performance.
lBy cable 10 The Tribune. !

London. Feb. 3.-Wagner's "Parsifal'
was produced for the first time in England
last night before a brilliant audience,
which included the Queen Mother Alex
andra. The house could have been filled
fifteen times over.
The attitude OF the audience was
throughout reverential. At the end Of the
first and second acts there was applause,
which some persons tried 10 hush down.
After the first act they succeeded, but
after the second act the applause contin-
ued for a long time, but there were no
calls taken.
Taker all in all, the performance was
worthy Of one OF the most important oc-
casions in the history OF the opera house,
and everything was carried through in a
spirit OF answering and artistic rever-
ence. No pains or expense had been
spared TO give the opera with the proper
splendor and solemnity.

FARRAR SINGS IN "T0SCA"
Large Audience Greets Puccini
Work at Metropolitan.

Puccini's "Tosca" was sung last night
al the Metropolitan for the third time this
season. The title part had been taken in
the two previous performances by Miss
Destinn and Mime. Freristad last night Il
was sung by Miss Geraldine Farrar. Miss
Farrar's Tosca, when II was revealed to
us first four seasons ago. vas the sweetest
little ingenue who ever plunged a dinner
knife into a naughty tormentor; we really
couldn't believe the horrid things with
which the librettist libelled her. Since
then Miss Farrar has travelled far She
has not vet reached the heights OF trag-
edy. but the lands OF melodrama hold for
her now no fears.
Last night she plunged ahead with a
recklessness which would surely have en-
deared her TO Sardou, and perhaps woull
have caused even the great Sarah TO feel
n rnomentary twnge Of jealousy.
In short, Miss Farrar Is now Tosca
altogether worthy Of consideration. por-
trait painted i'm unhesitating strokes. and
one which, always pleasing III us Co4"ot-
fish moments. possesses now in its tragic
ones a poignancy and a pathos. hut Vo-
callv she is far less satisfactory. She was
last night in excellent voice, which did not
excuse her too declamatory style OF song.
Her singing of the "Nissi d'Arte was
quite the most extraordinary interpreta-
tion Of the air heard in New York In re-
cent years.
So great was her emotion that her voice
ouivered. and she cor cluded with series
OF sobs which would have done credit 10
the "Ridi Pagliacco. In fact, the singer ;
emotion killed the song itself. and the ap-
piause which followed was altogether per
functory.

Sootti's Scarpia took no such liberies' an"
the performance gained accordingly MI
Toscanini conducted with his accus-
toned FIRE.
