Large Audience Last Night.

The Dewey Club, popular organization
of the Fifth Ward, gave high class
vaudeville entertainment last evening in

Charles j. Waugh, William j. DAILY, Gus
Richards, AL. Emmett Fostell and Waugh
and King.

The chief objection to free trade
with Porto Rico is the Democratic
intention to use it as precedent and
an entering wedge to influence like
policy in the Philippines. We know
of no profit that can arise from such
a policy that will Offset the degrada-
tion OF American wage earners. The
Republican party should take immed-
late warning. 1t should refuse to
swerve a hairs breadth from the pol
icy that has caused it's return to pow
er after the reverses of 1890 and 1892.
Above all it should refuse to accept
the advice or follow the policy of an
enemy that is willing that Republi-
canism and the welfare of American
labor shall be whelmed iE common
ruin for the sake Of making Mr.. Bry-
an president, and turning the coun-
Cry over to Tillman and Altgeld. All
Republicans, no matter what their
views on expansion, must see the
need of standing together against
the success of policy which pro-
poses to raise the gates and let in up
on our labor food of coolie slave
labor or its products.
The theory Of non-constitutional
government OF our new possessions is
strictly Democratic. 1t was origi.
mated to influence the government
In favor OF expansion. Let its au.

England, like the United States,
is complaining Of the high price of
printing paper, due to an enormous
popular demand for newspapers and
to the growing scarcity of wood pulp.
Some OF our friends are claiming that
the true remedy for the trouble Ia
this country is free trade In paper
and pulp. But as England already
has free trade In these articles, IL
would seem that the case and it's
cure are not we'll understood BY those
who are advocating the proposition.
Furthermore our Congress has no
power to repeal Canada's stumpage
