Once there was Il community Of happy and
prosperous srarrows living in pleasant
wood, near a lake In wood on the other
side Of the lake lived 4 community of
cuckoos. You know, no doubt, the graSpins
and piratical habits Of the cuckoo. Well,
these cuckoos were always crossing the lake
and trying to get chance 10 lay their eggs
in the sparrows' nests, So that the industrious
sparrows would have 10 go to the trouble and
expense of Matching and rearing their young
for them. But there was a protective tariff,
which the cuckoos could not manage TO get
around. That is 10 say, there was Il family
of eagles living near the sparrows, and before
a cuckoo could get in with her eggs, she had
TO pay high duty-that is 10 say, the eagles
ate her up along with her eggs That sort of
a tariff had the effect of pcrsuading the
cuckooS TO STAY at home. But by and by
certain of the siarrows grew discontinued
and becad TO complain. They said This
tariff is too cNorbitant. it hampers our
prosperity: what we nee is tariff for rev.
enuc only this wood is pleasant, but if We
hal Wood tariff it would he plcaSantcr,
for then the cuciOOs would come over and
eggs would he ever 50 much cheaper and
plentier than they are ZOE. Eggs would
Je dirt cheap, and We should all have just
as many as we wanted" This idea began
to spread around, and pretty soon more
than half of the sparrows were enthusiastic
over it. SO they wen, into power at the
next election, and the first thing they did
was to go forth in their strength and disable
the eagles that removed the protective
tariff then they passed their Wood tariff
with great rejoicings. Straghtway, sure
enough, the cuckoos swarmed over from the
n bnr side of the luke Encl.1I hn
eagles dismantlcd custom honse. duty
free, and laid their eggs in the sparrOws'
nests. The prophecy had come true there
was abundance of eggs, and an apparent
prodigiOus prosperity. But things did not
remain SO bright. The sparrows found that
they had TO hatch out those eggs a heavy
job; but when il was done, they had still
heavier before them, for they had to feed
the little cucEoos, too, as well as their own
little birds-for the cuckoo never hclps-the
cuckoo only furnishes eggs, that is all-so
the poor sparrows had to work double tides. !
and yet all the real profit wen, TO the cuckoo
tribe, for the little cuckoos were strong and
and they gobbled nine-tenths of
every bite that came into the nest where /
fore they wayed stronger day by day, whilst !
the starving little sparrow5 waxed weaker |
and weaker And at last the natural result /,
came about-the powerful young cuckoos, |
seeing they were boss of the situation, kicked /
the young sparrows out of the nest and took I
entire possession. 1t was about this time |
that the community of sparrows rose up as |
one bird and remarked I've are but NOR
tai, we are but sparrows, and shall live TO do .
many unwise things yet but the next time |
anybody beguiles us with a tariff for revenue |
only, he will have TO get up at particularly .
