bounty few pence day for her to
dream of her murdered husband.
AS us bondholders pay no taxes, and
it does not cost us one cent to support
the government, we are willing all the
woman ia America should have bounties
go long as they pay them themselves
from their own earnings and do not force
us protected bondholders to pay them
Let them have bounties, by all means,
and our interest is payable in gold!
Drive on slowly.
"Who is that in cage 4 2"
That, my dear, is poor miner-he is
digging gold for us bondholders. Don't
disturb him-don't say anything till we
pass him, for the returns from California
and Montana lead US to fear little troub-
le from such fellows.
But here Isl cage, my dear, which is
nice You see those orphans all at work !?
They are our slaves their fathers died
in battle and lis bondholders support
them To be sure We don't pay for their
support, but we levy taxes on the farm
ess, miners, mechanics, widows and chill
dren of the country to support these in.
stitutions. We mix up these things,
taking care to draw our interest in gold
and to sandwich our claims between
bounties and orphans, and 50 the willing

my dear, to be smart, and run this show
to suit few of us bondholders
Never mind that cage, my dear! Dri-

That cage is full Of fallen women, vic

cages are distills which gather gold from
iufamy, and that gold buys the laces you
wear, my dearl Drive on, John!
What cage is MatW

to wealth--toilers to support us. We
work them early and late; ray them in
grcenbacks, while our interest is payable
in gold. They work more hours each
day than ever did the cslavcs of the South.
They live poorer and work harder. We
raise their wages once and then lower
them three times; they work at the
sound Of the whistle or tap Of the he'll !;
march 10 their boarding houses in long
lires, like conyiets cat from boarding
tables, and make excellent slaves. If
they knew their strength they would up

with his rod, keeps them in very nicely
1t is very nice show, my dear And
now we viii see the fun The keeper
will, With his great steal kook, go around
and draw out the scrip they have earned
while we have been looking at them,and

silks for you, and more bonds for me.
Watch sharp, my dear! You see how
