J Economical System Needs Overhauling Democratic orators and pamphleters who clamor for a change of national administration and for a more or less complete revision of our fiscal and revenue policies can find no comfort ii x.njo- vt, jusi issueu uy me i;epartment of Commerce and Labor. It is the favorite contention of Democratic writers and speakers that foreign trade cannot expand under a high protective system. If we do not. open our markets to the foreigner, they say, we cannot get a foreign market for our surplus products. Exports should shrink, according to their logic, with every increase in tariff rates and expand with every reduction. Yet under the Dingley Tariff Law, the most avowed and radical protection measure we have ever had, our export trade has advanced by leaps and bounds till the United States stands today at the head of the great exporting nations. For five or six years past we have been strugsilinsr with Great Britain a freetrade country for primacy as an Texporier. we nrsi overiooK ana passea the United Kingdom in 1S98. In 1000 and 1902 our exports also exceeded our great rival 's. But in 1S99, 1901 and 1903 they fell a little below hers. This year the United States t the twelve months ended June 30 in seizes tl lead our exports for reaching a total value of $1,460,829,o39. This total has been exceeded but once in our history in 1900-'01, when the figures rose to .$1,487,704,991. But the aggregate of imports and ex ports for 1903-'04 $2,431 ,574.023 breaks all American records in foreign commerce. The extraordinary growth of our export trade under the Dingley Law is a fact against which Democratic theories of readjustment and revision dash in pieces. Under the WilsonGorman law our exports averaged about $840,000,000 annually. In 1892, undei the McKinnley law, thev had risen to ,$1,030,278,148. Since 1897 they have - aver aged over $1,250,000,000. With present trade conditions unchanged, they promise to average for the next five year something like $1,400,000,000, The year just ended marks the climax in the steady growth of foreign trade.

COLONEL BAIN

ENTERTAINS

(Continued From First Page.) 4 and wash his face which the professor found shockingly dirty, tke boy refusing the dime and suggesting tfiat the professor go get his hair cut, which to the little boy seemed shockingly long. Colonel Bain deplored the many "misfits" and consequent unhappiness caused by the thoughtless and hasty marriages made by the very young, and further declared that statistics proved that college girls made as good, if not better, wives and mothers than their less uneducated sisters. Women could nowadays enter all departments of activity and there meet with success nnd fame, but the great majority would, as has always been the case since the beginning of society, fulfill their destiny as guardians of the domestic hearth. The exaggerated types would always be perhaps the most conspicuous, but the least influential, of the sex. Colonel Bain then devoted his attention to "The Old Man," considerably to the discredit of the latter altho' the Colonel's optimism did not cause him to lose all hope or the final triumphant moral outcome. In an interesting and eloquent digression from the main theme of his discourse, he discussed a number of national public questions of political and social import with great sanity annd force, his diatribe against the great evil of intemperance being specially convincing and roundly applauded. In short Colonel Bain quite surpassed himself in portions of this lecture, which is regarded by that part of his audience who had hitherto had the pleasure of hearing him as one of his most forceful, witty and eloquent addresses. Afternoon Concert. The Ladies' Concert company, of Chicago, which has so charmingly entertained the Chautauqua audiences since Friday, appear for the last time this evening much to the regret of everyone. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a brief but highly enjoyable program was given and with much better effect than on the previous evening at which time the musicians were put to serious disadvantage by the disturbing noise which Was not so much in evidence yesterday afternoon and evening. The program for the afternoon Avas made up of musie and readings, the manager of the company, Mrs. Bessie Guion Drake, being as heretofore shown, wonderfully versatile and accomplished, evidenced by her artistic readings and her unusual voice heard in the musical numbers. Mrs. Drake possesses a high order of dramatic talent and that lack of exaggeration, which makes for positive results, the absence of the latter qualify being particularly marked and in delightful contrast with its preponderance in the work of a certain class of readers before the public. The work of the members of the Concert company both in ensemble and in solo numbers was given in a musicianly spirit, and while their programs are made up of the class of music generally designated as "popular," as befits the summer season, they have an extensive and varied reportoire for more distinctly musical organizations. As previously stated the company is made up of Mrs. Bessie Guion Drake, manager'and reader, and first alto in the quartette of which the company consists; Miss Christine Levin, second alto; Miss Bertha Grinell, first soprano, and second soprano, Mrs. Maye C. Tinker. Mrs. Tinker in the only solo given in this program showed herself the possessor of a strong mezzo-soprano of remarkable range and flexibility, her lower register having all the richness and color of a purely contralto organ, and betraying a timbre always appealing in a voice of this quality. The program given in the afternoon is jjiven below : "Dixie." Quartette. "Little Boy Blue," (words by Eugene Field) Parks Quartette. "Gleam of Sunshine," .Tipton Maye C. Tinker "Old Ace," (Reading) Brooks Bessie Guion Drake "Dear Cupid. What Troubles the Men," (repeated by request) . .Trio "Hilda's Love Letter," Original arrangement by Mrs. Drake. Bessie Guion Drake. "Ding Dong Dell," Nevin Quartette. Mrs. Drake graciously responded to a long continued encore with an original story, a humorous one and an actual occurrence. "Dear Cupid, What Troubles the Men," by Mrs. Tinker, Miss Grinnell and Miss Levin, was a piquant number and given with delightful verve and color. Song Service in the Evening. An immense audience assembled to

take part in "Everybody's Song Service," at half past seven o'clock, the tent being packed with manv standing outside. .Mr, ..Oliver Nusbaum, one of the well known 'musicians of this city,led the singing assisted by the Ladies' Concei t .company.

producing, with the participation of the audience, an effective ensemble.! The songs selected were taken from "Brewer's Collection of National Songs and Hymns," published in Chicago, and the several t,ongs given were sung with much feeling and fraternal spirit. Perhaps the spirit which dominates the Chautauqua was never more vividly exemplified than in this friendly song service in which everyone could join if he wished and all seemed so to wish. Reading of Mrs. Drake. Mrs. Drake has not yet appeared with greater eclat than in last evening's single number, the card scene from Booth Tarkington's successful novelette. "Monsieur Beaucaire." Although on the assumption that everyone had read Mr. Tarkington's compelling tale, Mrs. Drake prefaced the reading with a well condensed resume of the events in the story leading up to this particular episode, doing this with such telling art that the picture presented in the reading was vivid in color and definite in outline. As stated before, Mrs. Drake's dramatic talents are of an unusual order, and that her appreciation of the artistic verities is remarkably acute, was brilliantly evidenced in the presentation of this scene from a novel which has been accorded, even within this short time, a. place with the classics. Mrs. Drake's perfect taste was also manifest in her interpretation of the motif of the story the naive character of Monsieur Beaucaire himself, her rendition of his broken speech being delicious. For a symbol this dramatic presentation might be said to have all the color and definiteness of a cameo, heightened by Mrs. Drake's cosume, which was suggestive of "Lady Mary of the story. Mrs. Drake Avas given long tremendous applause at the colse of this number but did not respond further. Readings by a Poet. Perhaps the appearance of Edmund Vance Cook, the well known verse writer and impersonator, was looked forward to with more than usual interest as Mr. Cook, although read after and admired in this city, had never yet appeared in Richmond. Mi. Cook surpassed all the expectations aroused by the knowledge of his reputation as unique on the platform, his audience showing the keenest appreciation of the subtlest manifestations of his art. .... Mr. Cook is a born comedian and woud undoubtedly have won lasting fame in "the legitimate," had he chosen the dramatic profession, her iug possessed of an astonishing range of expression, both facial and in attitude, and that this would have given him high place as a "straight" comedian, is evident on the instant he comes befoie an audience. Mr. Cook recites his own product alone, but as this covers a wide field, he is able to give entertainments of endless variety. In the following program, under the general head of "Pot Luck With a Poet," his amazingly versatile talent was displayed giving him, also, an opportunity, to show what could be done with his voice, a flexible organ. In "The Young Man Waited," Mr. Cook gave a wonderfully convincing example of that most difficult form of dramatic art pantomime, is imitation of a woman making her toilet, especially when "doing up" her hair and putting on her hat, convulsing the audience. That Mr. Cook is master of pathos .shows him the true comedian, art only being lost when comedy descends to farce. Greeting. "I'm Glad to See You."

At the close of Mr. Cook's reading the Ladies' Concert company gave one of their short but delightful programs, the most attractive feature of which to the audience at large being the solo number from Miss Grinnell, the first soprano of the company.

Miss Grinnell possesses a high, sweet soprano, of pronounced lyrical qualify, the upper renter' of which has

toiu&,off JJujje-iJi cleariu-ss 4jqwuJ tp; advantage it'Jfsthe carnival." ( byj .1.1. Molly, givtyi as tne third num ber on the program. Miss Grinnell sings with dramatic effect and with vibrant tonal quality, having her voice under excellent control, born of long experience, for although youthful, Miss Grinnell has been much before the public all over the country in concert, and is the soloist of the Epworth M. E. church in Edgewater, Chicago.. Miss Grinnell's number was so overwhelmingly received that she was conqelled to resiond to an encore, giving "The Chinese Love Song," charmingly and with much spirit The other two numbers given by the quartette were greatly enjoyed, the first number "Ojala," an oriental composition meaning "A Cry for the homeland," showing the true art by which these singers are inspired, being a melodious composition full of melancholy cadences. This closed the program for the evening. Notes. Mrs. Maye C. Tinker, of the Ladies' Concert company, was for several years engaged in newspaper and literary work, having been a member of the staff of "The Economic," for a time, and associated with its edi tor. Will Payne, the well known writ er of liction and on sociological topics, Mrs. Tinker having a wide acquaintance among literary people as well as musicians. Edmund Vance Cook is, perhaps, one of the best known American verse writers now before the public, his poems appearing in all the leading publications, notably The Saturday Evening Post and Collier's, to cite two weekly journals, as well as in all the leading periodicals. He is generaly ranked with that class of humorists in which Eugene Field, Riley, Ade, and other humorous writers of prose and verse are included, and as an impersonator is not far behind Riley, who probably is the greatest contempor aneous unstaged comedian. Although publishers will tell you that volumes of poetry are a drug on the market, and never more so than at the present time,Mr. Cook's books of verso are well and widely konwn and regarded as an excellent risk by leading publishing houses. He has so far published, "Impertinent Poems," Forbes & Co., of Boston; "Rimes to Be Read;" "Patch of Pansies," Putnam's; and a volume of child verses now in press, to be entitled, "Chronicles of the Little Tot," many of which have appeared in the Saturday Evening Post. Tihs is in press and will be brought out by the Dodge Publishing company, of New York, some time within the year. Mr. Cook said to a Palladium rejresentative last evening that he had never appeared before a more refined and interesting audience than that last evening, and that the managers of the Chautauqua should be congratulated upon the high character of the personnel of the attenders as seen from the platform, and Mr. Cook also added impressively that this was "no jolly," stating that he frowned fiercely upon all forms of flattery, but loved the truth. Mrs. Timothy Harrison, of Kokomo, who is visiting her mother-in-law, Mrs. Allen Jay, of West Richmond, is attending the sessions of the Chautauqua. Mrs. Horace Burr, of Newcastle, who is the guest of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Pierce, and who has attended the Chautauqua this week, is one of the rising dramatic readers of the day. Although but a recent recruit to the platform Mrs. Burr, has been highly successful, her histrionic possibilities being at present without limit, and her dramatic instinct never permitting her to go without the bounds of art. Mrs. Burr is specially happy in the presentation of child life but she has a comprehensive range and bids fair to become one of the leading exponents of this form of dramatie entertainmennt now before the public. - One of the most hospitable parties is that in the Cambridge City Tent, No. (GO, near the northeast portion of the grounds. The party is chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Drischel and is made up of Misses Katie Kneisee, Nellie Newman," Kate MacDougall, Grace McKee, Connersville; Lorena MeLane, Louise Kleiber, Jennie McGrew, Lizzie Whelan, Paul, Don and Gresh Drischel. - Yesterday Tent No. 00 had the following callers from out of town: Misses Dora Wallace and Blanche Hale, Mr. and Mrs. North, all of Milton; Mrsj J.
