The honey we git from the carkis
is the attachin NV the Standard Oil
company to the Dimekratic party 70

1t is powerful ally 1t hez mon

to every drop NV illeominatin and
loobricatin food in the Yoonited
States. No labrer's wife wakes up
at mite and turns up her lamp %

but pays triboot to the Standard
Oil company. Every Bible that is
read at mite is so many cents to the
Standard Oil company. In the mat

very much in this way. Every ser
want girl wich goes to the next
world tryin to make green wood
burn with kerosene holocausts her

Oil company. Old Mr. Payne, when
he reads his paper in the mornin,
and sees that a servant girl hez been
cindered in this way, calkilates ez to
how much oil wuz in the can, and
chuckles to think it took gallon to
burn her up, while, he'd she lived,

A STREAK OF LUCK, AFTER ALL.
To hev SIGH a corporashen hitched
onto the Dimekratic party is a streek
NV luck fur wich we can't be sufiici-
emily thankful.
SO fur ez money goes, we are now
ez well fixed ez any reform and anti

whisky-shops must stand whatever
levy we choose to put onto 'em to
perteckt 'em from the Republicans,
and now the Standard Oil comes in
to assist with its Unlimited meens.
Ef we don't hev all the money we
want, it is becoz we don't choose to
ask for it.
We hey now q certin fucher. The
Dimocrisy is the party of the people,
the opponent of monopoly, and the
adyokit of reform. Ez reformers
we hev our forces drawd up in solid
phalanx. We kin count noses and
be sure NV our standin. We hev the
whisky intrest and the Standard Oil
company. We hev every whisky.
shop solid, and the mass NV votes
they controle. Addid to this is the
money NV the Standard Oil company,
and also that wich the distillers and
saloonkeepers must contribbit; and
wat more kin we ask?
With this army Nv voters, and this
magnificent commissary department,
we shell inscribe "Reform" and
"Anti-Monopoly!" onto our banners,
and 90 forth conkerin and to conker.
With all these forces combined
we can't fail to elect the next presi.
