II w. w ell, these men VINO mace the
! Sub-Treasu'y, pretend to be the poor
man's friend --bnt il seems to me they
are the rich mans friend, and the poor
mans enemy. You agreed 10 give
Squire Graball $500 for The house '"a
Hand. Now you nave paid 5000, and
alter you have paid $500 more, ne WI,
get il back for S40O so Squire 0raoa''
scts S4OO out ol you for n.th'pg J""
/ because we must have Sub-1reasury--
and Won must be ruined to make him
rich. Seems to n,e, this Is grinding the
noor. TO lstten the rich. Ii Is making the
poor man poorer, aud The rich man
II richer.
i NJ. Well, really wife, all that sounds
,rn.. but Bancroft and Brownson did not
tell Us that.
w. No, no-they didn't tell you,
though they knew it well. They filed
your head With fantastic ideas OF democ-
racy aud liberty. They bliudloIded you
with names and words, and led you
astray with p,eJudices aud passions.
NJ. But why should they deceive US
W. Whyi Docs't Bancroft get
Sc 900 year, 30 long AS Vun Buren, is
ip, aud the Sub Treasury supported
Doesn't Brownson get 81 900 year, so
long as his master, Van, Buren, reignsi
Now, you have vote, and the voters
can say who shall be President The
way for Bancroft to- keep his place, there
fore, is 10 throw dust in your eyes, and
then he'll lead you up to the ballot box,
to vote for Van Buren, who supports
him, though he ruins you and your ian'i-
w.
NJ. Really, wife, you seem to be a
politician alter all.
w. No, husband, / am no politician;
but sometimes locker on sees more OF
the game than those ho play i'll Judge
Oi the Government by It's effects on our
home. Formerly, before this cry OF de-
mocracy-bciore these Halletts and Ran
touls, and Bancrolts filled your head with
their humbugs-every thing went we'll
with Us. You were then a happy man,
and | happy wife. Our children were
then we'll fed and well clothed. Every
# | wanted new gown you always gave
it me, aud you pa,d 500 year To re-
duce the mortgage. You was indusiri-
Gus aud cheerlui-your face was always
pleasant To me-your voice was alway :
kind to the children. Those days are
gone. | mourn, husband, but | do not
,eproach you. You have cares, and
know your heart is right. But how has
this change come about?
NJ. l think l must ask you
w. Well, then, will tell you my
opinion. l think you, with too many
others in the country, have been grossly
cheated and deceived. A set Of men,
who only wished TO enjoy power, and
Office, aud spoils, have been entrusted
with the Ieius OF government, and they
have driven us over a precipice. We
only suffer with the rest oil the country
thousands and thousands are as bad of
as we.
NJ. Well, wife, am afraid you are
right but what can do:
w. You can do two things. The
first is TO iorsake those who cheat you
10 withdraw your confidence from a
sci Of false prophets and false guides
men who use you only to abuse you.
NJ. And what next shall do:
w. FIRST tell me whether you will
do as request
Nj. lneve, buy pig in poke. Tell
me what il Is you propose, and il IT'S rea-
sonable, IN do it.
w. Vote Tor old Tip.
M. ] thought it was coming to that!
Well, there's 10 danger in trying a
change. Here it goes-HURkAH
FOR HARRISON AND BETTER
TIMES -!
