The judgement which, on Friday The 24t
nit. overlook the money Changers, Of
Wall Street, has called for the fU win
poem, which We copy from the N. Y. Trio
une, We are glad the Government scour
eed them from that temple of iniquity thu
Geld ROOM. Il had become den o
thieves, and we regret that the huge iosse
NJ some became the huge gaius Of others
zouual how the price went flashing through
wall st.. William, Broad-st., New
All the specie in all the land
Held In one Ring by giant hand
Fnr millions more it was ready TO pay.
Ana throttIe the Street on hsngmaD ,s-day
Ua from the Gold Plus neither hell
whns the innocent fountain rose and fell
Loud and higher the bidding rose,
And the bulis. triumphant, faced their foes
A. seemed as If Satan himself We're in IT,
Lifting it.-one per cent minute,
;Throush the beliowing broker, there amid
who made the terrible final bidi
uirh ever all, and ever higher,
{Ess heard tho voice Of lsresl Freyer
ao,,,ful knell in the storm-swept-mart,-
"Fiye millions more aud for any part
I'll give One Hundred and Sixty p
Isre,, F-ey err the Government Jew
did as the best-soaked through and
though 60,
With credit gained 10 the year be sold
Onr Treasury's precious hoard OF gold
Now through his thankless mouth ring, out
The lenguei's last and cruelest shout

Crowdino the Gold Rooms rounded sides,
JostIing. tramplng each others feet,
tIt,ering oroans in the outer street,
Watching with upturned faces pale,--
The scurryine index mark It's 'aie,-
if..sring the bid Of Isreal F eyer
Th,t o4inous voice, would il no, er

"F,ye Millions uore for any part,

In .,rawine up ward the price Of gold
ro ,hst a ,sg.rous, last, particular peg,
TSav hal killed their gooso with the -lden
egg
Inst thers the metal came pouring out,
All y.ys at once, like wster spout,
Uc rushing, gushing, yellow Hood,
TLat dr.nched the bulls wherever they
stood
THAR cotT.r dams were burst with the strain.

Fa.tar than this rude rhyme can tell
thirty per cent the index slid,
Yet Freyer still kept making his bid
"Ope hundred and Sixty ior any part "
The sudden ruin had craZ-d his heart,
Shattered his seuses, cracked his brain,
d AMI left him crying again aud again
& sin makitg his bid at tho mai kets top,
tI. ks the Dulchman's leg that could never

Til they dragged him, bowling, oil the Il 'or,
The very last words that seller ano

Srnnose. 10 avoid the appearance OF evil)
y hsr,,. sncb thing as Personal Devil,
I, vould seem that His Higbness here go
held,
For once Of a believing Bull In Gold
Whether bull or bear it wouldn't muci
should israel Freyes keep up bis elatter
On earth or under it'-(a', usy say,
lie Is doom, d)--till the generAi Judgmeh
when tbs CLERK, as he cites hin to an W.
fort,
Shall bid him keep sis nee in that Court!
Nu, Il matters most, as II seems to me,
That my country men, great aud strong an'
Co ,n.ryel at fellows who seem to win,
That n even q Clown can oniy begin
Nv stealing a railroad, and use its purse
for eornering stocks and gold, or--worse-
For buying Judge and a Legislature,
And sinking still lower poor human nature
The gaping public, whatever brfal'
win swallow him, tandem, harlots, ana al
while our rich men drivel and stand amaze.
Al the dust aud poiher his gang have raised
And make us remember nursery tale
Or the four.and-twsrty who feared ON
snail.
What's bred in the bone will breed, yo'
kh,w.
Clowns and their trainers, high and low,
Win cut such capers, long as tLey date,
While honest Poverty says its prayer
But tell me what prayer or last can save
Some hoAry candidate for the grave,
The markets wrinkled Giant Despair,
Mutterine. brooding, scheming there
Founding q college or building church
Last Heaven should leave him IN the lure
Better come out in tho rival way,
Issue your scrip In open day.
And pour your wealth In the grimy est
OF some gross mothed, gambling png'list
Leave toll and poverty where they lilo,
Pass thinkers, workers, artists, by,
Your pot. house fag from his counters brin
And make lin into RailwAy-k king
: Between such Gentiles and such Jews
Little enough one iinds to choose
Either the other will buy aud use,
Eat the meat aud throw him the bone,
And leave him to stand the brunt alone.
Lot the tempest come, that's gatherir
near,
Aud give us better atmosphere
