financial cripples we find East and West. I'll
To get out of their difficulties they know no
what's best
The government Is blamed because they have lost
In their schemes to make money. so by trouble
ths're tossed. rs ego
Tossed on the pillows by wild speculation
And to hard money men they bear no relation:
But would Hood all the land with psor WORTHLESS
stun, 1a8 aF@
And good honest men they try often to bluff.
The system itself is not sound at the core
The Father B. p. he feels somewhat sore
His schemes are all failures We certainly know
In aiding and abetting our national foe.
His history during the rebellion we've not yet for
gotten,
His plans to defeat have thus far proved no item,
And can men who profess to be true to the nation
Claim him any whore to be their relation.
And those who desire our nation to prosper,
Should not for one moment aly no pc thro' hin
foster, 4tN
For theyare sold II they do for by the past ma
Therefore ignorance of these things cannot now b
their plea.
If they could once overthrow tho tried mon Of thi
nation,
And each OF them occupy prominent station,
Z We might perhaps as they think, make rapid ad
vance,
Which think would resemble the dark ages OF
France.
financially it's true times seem somewhat bad:
Our crops at the present make us feel rather sad
But all we can do s to sincerely hope for the bes
And trust in our God he will take care of the rcst
1.-THE men whoshall govern us be on the alert,
We have nothing to fear we shall not be hurt.
For wise men all know that hard money is best

The national glory to them Is thing Of the past
They caring bat little how long 1t may last

May govern us still and not change to the new
something we need not as tho old ono is tried
. We safe and rejoice in our national pride.
During the rebellion prices an very high,
Experience taught us they'll come down by and
by,
And may it in the future to us be lesson.
That after an elevation must come depression
We shonid have saved and net spent all that WI
had,
Then am certain we should not feel quite 80 ba,
Now the conscience accuses its right that IT shout
We should have laid up the treasure when time
were good.
Growlers are and will always be in tho land,
Because the nations machinery they do not un
derstand,
Yet the past has convinced us. for we had the test
That Republican rule. for us is tho best.
Look back Tor moment to pears past and gone,
Think OF the battles fought and victories won
VI brave men that were slain and who was to bIsm
And who saved the Union, please give us the name
