He does not make this statement sin any partisan OPP

Taylor has abandoned the position he once occupied sin

Tune" o Scissors. I"

Tune" o Scissors"
The good old days have come again,
The golden time of story,
When labor reaps its honest gain
Beneath the stars of glory.
The gilded drones no longer steer
Our bark upon the billow,
And Mammon sheds his bitter tear
Upon his silken pillow.
Truman!
The hills with yellow harvests wane,
The plains with sheafs are bristllng;
Old want has found an early grave,
And care has misunderstanding.
The richly-laden Argosie
The widest wave is crossing,
And day by day upon our lee
A golden fleece is tossing.
o Truman!
What though the spindles by the streams
Grow silent with the twilight,
And capitalists find their dreams
OF golden gains to lie light =
The farmer gets his broadcloth cheap,
The maiden's lace is finer
And though a few old misers weep,
The world is no repiner
U Truman!
The forests bow beneath our tread,
The deserts bloom to woo US,
Our DeacOn-nres are Tall ana req,
Aud nations flock unto US;
Each ploughman is a king beside
His hearthstone and his altar,
And, like queen, his rural bride
Meier brooks an English halter.
o Truman!
Go manscle the crouching slave,
Go bind the craven spirit,
Let brutal ignorance dig its grave,
And sim It's chains inherit;
But clasp no fetters on our limbs,
Nor curb us with embargoes,
We would have freedom in our whims,
And profits on our cargoes.
o Truman!
AS kings, We'll tax ourselves to pay
Onr debts like honest people
Wen build place to teach and pray,
And DER II put steePle
Wen honor God and succor man,
And love our honest neighbors;
But wo to those who mar our plan,
Or trihe with our sabres.
0 Truman!
We scorn to see a noble name
Assailed in party quarrels;
We will not put our sires to shame,
Or doubt our country's laurels
We will not act a traitors part,
Or aid cruel ioeman;
But we will love with all our heart
Our God-our couDtry-woman.
. Truman!
