The play of last Monday evening
received crowded house, and was
satisfactory to everyone in the audi
ence. E. Barney Bennett, the favor
tie comedian, displayed his usual
ability and his excellent acting met
with frequent applause. Harry
Townley, Ed York, Earl Tracy, Fred
Morris and Walter Riggs supported
Mr. Bennett with considerable dra-
matte ability. Fannie Sears met with
wonderful success upon her first APP
pearance on the stage and her acting
was perfect, winning the praise and
admiration of all. Mrs. Dora Nor
ris is always good and added much to
her stage reputation. Mrs. Maud
Riggs made a very pretty young girl
and sustained her part well. Mrs.
Addie Hopper made delightful and
attractive "Betty" and the gents all
envied O'Callaghan when he kissed
the servant.
The dance following was, as usual,
very pleasant and nearly everyone
remained to late hour. The supper
at Films was elegant and bountiful,
and many compliments were passed
upon it the following day.

this responsibility. No amount of
beating the tom toms or raising the
dust over the currency question, Will
blind the people TO the fact that three
precious years of the commercial life
of the republic has been sacrificed by
the Democratic party on the altar of
free trade. The question is not, shall
we use more silver. There is no oppo-
sition in this country 10 the enlarged
use of silver if It can be brought about
without disturbing our trade relations
with other countries. but the question
is. shall the American markets be open
ed to the world on a cheaper basis than
to the American citizens themselves?
Shall the workmen and tradesmen of
foreign countries enjoy the privileges
of market made valuable by the high
er ideal of life and intelligence Of the
American people when they in no way
contribute TO the condition. pay no
share of the taxes and in no way assist
in sustaining the American govern
ment? This country is a vast empire
with resources and facilities co bound
less that il can produce anything
needed by man. 1t is yet in its infancy,
il is ten times more capable OF develop
ment today than il was ten years ago.
We have just begun To take the riches
from the mines. Our farmers are just
learning the science of production at
the least cost. AS a nation we furn-
ish the greatest market in the world
This is largely because of the higher
wages and higher civilization of our la
boring classes. America. with one
twentieth Of the population OF the
world. produces one-third of the manu-
featured articles. and the consumption
Of products by the American people
is almost half the consumption of the
entire world. Is such a market for our
:, Il,
selves? Is il surprising that England
is constantly working for entrance into
such a market? II the. workmen OF
England and other countries had the
same wants. the same pleasures in life
as our Own workmen there would be no
need Of protection 10 our industries.
The American workmen has made what
was at first a luxury today a necessity,
and he has been able "a attain these
luxuries through the Republican Of pay

courage Let us remember the victor
les it has won, the grandeur of its
achievements, how it has streamed IN
proud superiority among the emblemS
of the earth. Let US remember the pat
tlefields it has consecrated, and the ne
roes who have gone to their last rest
ing places wrapped in its beautiful
folds With these memories ever fear
will perish and every doubt will be dis
PEELED. Therefore. while we go for
ward with discussions of economic
principles-as we deal with the tariff,
the currency, and the functions OF the
precious metals-let us not forget to
give an occasional hour to the sanctu-
airy of the republic, and there before the
shrines of our party we Will receive a
baptism Of confidence and inspiration
that will tip every tongue with fire and
equip every mind with new weapons
of reason.
With this prelude Of patriotism we
are able to render truer allegiance 70
Republican principles, and to bridge
with the span of hope the dreary in
tervening time-the closing hours OF
the Democracy.
We have been SO much engaged dur
ing the last year in disputing about
gold and silver that we are in danger
of substituting the controversy over the
currency for one of vastly deeper i'm
port and of infinitely wider significance.
l do not depreciate the necessity Of a
sound financial system. but we shall
commit a grave mistake II we permit
the contest over the coinage of silver

government y bad monetary system
may hamper the energies of the peO-
pie, but a good one cannot create those
energies. The origin Of prosperity lies
deeper than an inquiry as 70 the true
relat ton of gold and silver. With sound
economic conditions almost any cur
rency is good; with a vicious and un-
American policy any currency is bad.
While I have no disposition 10 stiflc
the discussion which is raging around
US, do believe that in a great measure
the problem will solve itself with the
restoration of the Republican party 10
complete power and the proclamation
that henceforth American markets shall
not be invaded by the products OF I'M
restricted competition.

Let us, therefore, draw near to each
other and consider what is 10 be done.
The Republican party has a higher OBJ
jeot to accomplish than the mere de-
feat Of its adverSarieS. 1t is about to
come into possession OF the government,
and we are confronted with duties never
before so perplexing. Three years of
Democratic supremacy have done more
than to simply TO reverse Republican
policies. Legislative errors can be cas-
lily corrected, but the wound inflicted
upon that vague but essential thing
the trust of greet people in the wisdom,
justice and honor of the government
will not be so quickly healed. We are
not all philosophers, and with many OF
US the living instinct takes higher
rank than lifeless reason. When we
apply the latter we easily reach the
conclusion that when Republican econ
