The Baby spFinkling.
A STARVATION ANTHEM FOR THE royal cHRIsTENINC
Bring forth the babe in pOmp and lace,
While thousands starVe and curse the light!
But what Of that's on royal face
Shame knows no blush, however slight.
Bring forth the babe; a nations means
Will ring sweet music in his ear,
For we'll we know a peoples grOans
To royal ears were always dear.
Bring forth the babe; down, eourtiers, down!
And bow your lacquey knees in dust,
Before a child's beslObber'd gown
(OtT children cannot find a cust0
When Christ was born, no servile throng
Around the SaVior'S manger met;
No hattereT's raised their fulsome song
But what was Christ to Alberps pet?
God, who has heard the widows moan;
God, who has heari the Orphans cry;
Thou, too, dOst cit upon athrone,
But none round thee Of famine die!
Things like this babe Of royal birth,
Who boast their princely right divine,'
Are but thy ParOdss on earth
Theirs is o2PrssSion-msrcy thine.
Bring forth the babe! From foreign lands
Fresh kingly vampires flock to greet
This new one in its nurses hands,
(For royal mothers give no teat.)
BRING forth the toy Of princely within,
And let your prayers mount night and day;
For ought we not to pray for him
Who'll prey on ls enough some day?
o! who would grudge to squander gold
On such glorious babe as this!
What though our babes be starv'd and cold,
They have no claim TO earthly bliss.
Ours arc no mongrel German breed,
But English born and English bred;
Then let them live and die in need,
While the plump CObOurg thing is fed.
Chrisleu the babe, Archbishop proud.
Strange servant Of the lOwly Christ,
Thousands are to your purse allowed
For him the smallest loaf suficed.
Though holy waters scanty now,
My Lord, you may dismiss your fears;
Take, to baptise the infants brow,
A starving peoples bitter tears!

that The lands are not wrenched from the States
We can't allow them to sneak under such an ex-

20 per cent.-because it repudiales British free

average saIes are nine millions n year; the es-
mated annual expenses q millions n year To
get n millions The present bill proposes about 40
per cent. duties, which afford moderate prolec-
ton. Let the lands afford one third of this rev.

Where, then, is Protection? IL this bill, with 40
per cent. duties is not good enough what will that

1t is far better than The existing locofoco Tariff Of

Five Facts.

FACT NO. ONE. The main causes of the
present condition of the country are IA Disoodered
Currency and the want of Protective Tariff
FACT NO. TWO. The Currency and Pro-
lection were both prostruted by the Iocoioco pnr-
~, while they were in power
FACT NO. THREE. The present Wing Con-
eress has faithfully endeavored 10 restore a sound
currency by the passage of TWO successive acts;
both of which were opposed by the locos anI We

whether any duties can be legally collected but

President. The Wings now striving to pass

and we fear the President will also veto it.
FACT NO. FOUR. By this combined qapo-
sition OF the President and the locos, the great
forms attempted by The Wings have been defeat

nothing and for Tariff, nothing is in force hut
the Act passed. hy locofoCo Congress in 1888

COS supported these great measures, we might
now have souph currency and adequate froec-
ton, in spite oftIe Veloes. But they encouraged
and sustained the VelOes, and the Wings unlver-
sally condemned them.
Such arc the ncls and we leave il TO my sens-
bic man 10 decide wLAllIeE it is the Wings or the

While on this subject, lot us remind the reader
tat in our estimates in former years were far
within the mark 1t IS indeed true that the por-
ton of Vermont for the present year must be
comparatively small, owing to the reduced saes Of
