Montana lead US to fear little trouble from
such fellows.
But hear is a cage my dear, which il nice.
You sec those orphans all at work =? They
are our slaves-their fathers died in battle
and us bondho!dcrs support them. To be
sure we don't pay for their support but We
levy taxes on the farmers, miners, mechan-
les, widows and children of the country TO
support these institutions We mix up
these things, taking care to draw our inter.

bountics and orphans, and so the willing
people Of America toll on Amt it nice,
my dear to be smart and run this show to
suit few Of Us bondholdcrs?
Never mind that cage, my dear? Driver
crack up the horses Il little Touch that
OF one little on the lanks with the whale
bone
That cage is full Of fallen women, victims
Of political preachers, members of Con-
grcss, government officers, lccllerous old
dcacons and others of the God and morality
party. They were once good girls, good
women, but they fell during the war. But
they pay taxes to support us honlholders-
they furnish ADJUSTMENTS for our manly
sons-thcy add to the revenue, and their
cages are dis.ills which gather gold from
in.amy, and that gold buys the laces you
wear my dear Drive on John

4 very pretty one, my dear. Hold on
driver Don't you hear the music of ma
chinery? The victims there are the factory
operatives Of New England slaves to
wealth -toilcrs to support US We work

did the slaves of the South. They live
poorer, ard wolk harder. We raise their
wages once and then lower them three
times-they work at the sound of the whistle
or tap Of the bel.-march to their boarding
houses in long lines like convcts, eat from
boarding house tables and make excellent
slaves. If they knew their strength they
would upset their cage, but the sturdy negro
there, with bis rod, keeps them in very
nicely.
Its very Gicc show, my dear And
now we will see the fun The keeper will,
with his great sieal hook, go around and
draw out tbs scrip they have earned whilo
We have been looking at them, and it will
serve to buy wine and game for our dinners,
pianos for our house, silks for you, aud more
Bonds for me.
Watch sharp. my dear You see how the
poor victims net as the hook draws out their
earnings Lean a little back, for some OF
them have seen Us and talk Of Rcpudtu- !
tine
Great God But that word makes ne
tremhlc
Now We can watch them unobscrycd! |
See the farmer hold his aching back as
the hook drags out his earnings
See the WIDOW wcops aud looks with tear
ful eyes upon her dying child rs the hook
brings to us the little she has earned
See the laborers rush to the drunkald's s
cup as their earnings are snatched away !
They say they might as we'll spend their
money for beer and whisky as to support us
Bondholders, so We will enact laws that they |
shall not spend their money, but give it all
to us
Hurry up, Mr., Keeper out all you |
my carriage and we will be off to !
drink the wine and cujoy the luxurics us
Bondholders purchase with the money
looked from the victims that make up our
great show.
Kiss your fingers to the victims, my dear.
They work bctterif We notice them little. !
Wave your embroidered handkerchief to
the cage We hastened by that the inmates
may sec our style and treat our sons with |
more attention. Rub little of that i'm
ported cologne over my iace-the sight Of
sweat on the faces of our victims makes
mine a little sticky on'tput your feet up
so far for we are aristocratic, now protected
pets Of Radicrlism and must act discreetly +! |
Drive on, Johu

Of Brazil, sound is some times heard, so
singular that the sound seems quite unnat-
