Senator Aldrlch had better reduced the tariff on stockings and women'a gloves than taken it off of art goods, la the opinion of J. Laurie Wallace, Omaha artist, who gained some notoriety a year ago by contending that Lincoln wore whiskers when he .was inaugurated. J. Laurie Wallace, who also wears whiskers, says American people better have cheap stockings' than cheap art. "This la bad, bad, this taking of the tariff off of art importations," said Mr. Wallace. "The high tariff has been the best protection of art this country has ever had and under it but little cheap art was imported. People would not bring In cheap productions on account of the tariff. "B'Jt with the tariff gone dealers will go over to Europe and buy up half finished studies with some high sounding name on them, bring them to this country, sell them for good prices and load us up on 'cheap art' not 'art cheap.' "The American people igo crazy over foreign names and a daub of a picture with some seven syllabled-foreign name on the corner will sell In a hurry. They would rather have a daub painted by Guggenblut zen, Uleuseppe, Franclttclano or some other foreign dub than a good picture by an American with the good honest name of Jonea or Smith." Ing.
