those wealthy people are treated just like

hear the free traders shouting themselves
hoarse? Another poor. unfortunate mil.

dishonor? Are we free trade bosses and
wash not away the stain by inaugurating

earners Of their jobs?'
In conclusion. while free trade leaders
and bosses i'm every town and state are
undoubtedly determined to rob wage
earners OF employment through free trade
and ride into power on the necks OF the
people: nevertheless. many candidates for

In the evening Washington visited at inter-
walls the theatre in John-st.. the only one in the
city at that time. II had been erected during
the occupation of the British, and used
by the officers for amateur theatricals. This
theatre was so small that the whole fabric
might easily have been placed on the stage Of
some OF our modern theatres" says GUSTS in
the recolections and memoirs above noted.
Boxes were set apart for the President and
Vice-President. and the playbills were inscribed
'NlVat Republica.' Among several players of
merit was Morris, an associate OF Garrick in
the beginning of his career" An authority says
that the national air of that day, Hail, Co
lumbia, composed by German musician
named Fyles in compliment to the President,
was first played here.
