DRAMATIC AND LYRIC.


Christmas week, 1896, will be one
long remembers as the very chilIiest
in all the Salt Lake theater's winter
annals. The ball under the auspices
of the attaches of the house must have
resulted in a heavy loss to those gen
tlemen, as dancing seemed to be the
last thing any one desired to think
about, and the attendance was of the
neagerest sort. The house will only
be open once during the coming week,
on Tuesday evening, when a Scandi-

pears on January 4, and 6. Spar

risen once more on the fortunes of the

week past has brought back the smiles

unexpectedly large since 1898, but the

STORY or THe FLAG.


In an inland manufacturing city on
election night, in November. 1894. aft
er the wires had confirmed the news Of
q sweeping Republican victory. two
workingmen started 20 climb TO the top
Of a great smokeless chimney. That
chimney had been built by the invita-
tion and upon the promise of Republic
an protective legislation. In the factory
over which il lowered was employment
for twice a thousand men. II had stood
a cloud by day and a pillar Of fire by
night for busy, industrious, happy
people Now bleak. blackened, voiceless
and dismantled. like a grim specter Of
evil, il frowned down upon the hapless
city. where poverty. idleness, stagna-
ton and want attested the complete
disaster of the free trade experiment.
Up and up they climbed, watched by
the breathless multitude below. Up and
up and up. until at last they stood up
on its summit, and there. in the glare
of the electric lights, cheered by the
gathered thousands, they unfurled and
nailed an American flag. Down in the
streets strong men wept-the happy
tears of hope-and mothers, lifting mp
their babies, invoked the blessing of the
flag, and then impassioned lips burst
forth in song. the halleluiah of exultant
hearts, the mighty pean of peoples
Joy. That song-the enthusiastic mil
lions sing it yet-was:
Hurrahl Hurrah We sing the jubileei
Hurrahi Hurrah The flag that makes US free.
So we sing the chorus from the mountains TO
the sea-
Hurrah for Mckinley and protectionl
Over the city that free flag waved,
caressed by the passing breezes, kissed
by the silent stars. And there the first
glad sunshine of the morning fell upon
it, luminous and lustrous, with the I'll
dings of Republican success.
On behalf Of those stalwart workmen
and all the vast army Of American toll
ers. that their employment may be GER
tain, the wages best. their dollars the
best Of the civilized world; on behalf OF
that dismantled chimney and the de-
serted factory at its base, that the fur
naces may once more flame, the mighty
wheels revolve, the whistles scream, the
anvils ring, the spindles hum; on be-
half of the thousand cottages round
about and all the humble homes of this
broad land, that comfort and content
may again abide, the firesides glow. the
women sing, the children laugh-yes,
and on behalf Of the American flag and
all it stands for and represents for the
honor of every stripe, for the glory of
every star. that its power may fill the
earth and its splendor span the sky, 1
ask the nomination of that loyal Amer
lean, that Christian gentleman, soldier,
statesman, patriot, William Mckinley.

speaking Of the probability that the
free coinage of silver would enhance
the prices Of commodities Gov. Wolcott,
of Massachusetts,, In a recent speech,
added the following comment pertinent
to the wage Garner: "Does anyone sup
pose that the daily wage of the daily
laborer will be doubled To meet that
increase in the price that he is to pay
for everything that comes into his
household? Let the pensioners of the
nation pause and think of this platform.
How many are there, $50. ZOO l believe,
that receive fixed pension from the
United States. Do they suppose that
that will be Immediately doubled to
meet the doubling of values in all the
commodities that they buy for their
households? (Applause.) How about
the hundreds of thousands of men,
the thrifty and prudent who
have laid aside netting in the saw
ings banks on the gold basis? DO they
suppose that, when they go to draw
something from their deposits, and ask
for 500, the generous gentleman and
liberal manager will hand them out
5000? No, gentlemen, the 500 that
they deposited on gold basis will be
handed out TO them on the silver basis,
and then with that 500 they will go
out To purchase commodities that have
doubled in price. Think of all the
others who have bought little home
stead on gold basis. Do they imagine
that by the fiat of congress that is
to be doubled in value? l say, let
every man in this community, and that
will cover all but small fraction, let
every one in this community who has
been able by thrift, by prudent fore
sight, looking out for the future sup
port for themselves in their old age,
or their families, let them ask whether
this doubling of the prices of commod-
tiles is going to benefit themselves.
That is the sort of argument, it seems
to me, which must appeal to all to
check this great delusion."
