And no laid hold upon John, who
was an artllGer In steel rails, brother OF
all such aB work In rolling mills and
who pour out molten iron like water,
Nevertheless Andrew 4 great cap,
tain OF industry, was faln 70 cut OFT
aud reduce the wages OF John, who
was typical toiler, the Ike of whom
In that land numbered some millions,
Then IL came 10 pass ihat John
bowed his head and wept ana Dewailed
greatly. And his heart was heavy
within him and his soul was sore amaz'
cd,
And he called his wife Jane and his
sons and his daughters, and they took
counsel and lamented together,
Saying alas now must We lall and
perish, Tor behold, our means arc cut
OIL ana our days are full OF evil,
Surely great IL protection, aud Ben
jamin iB his prophet y that II were
as IN the former days, when We walked
In the strength OF our youth, aud the
candle Of prosperity shlned upon our
heads,
But now our days are darkened
and our nights are heavy with weep
Ing,
Then Jane answered and said
Surely great il protection aud We are
ila product Lol these many years
have we wrought In the iron mill and
scorOhed In the blast OF the llery fur
naceB for a long generation,
Let us, ! pray thee, arise ana Jour
ney toward the setting OF the SUM- lel
us 40 10 the soil whence we were taken
ana lind delight and sustenance IN The
earth, which was our origin.
Surely remember the green fields
of my childhood, and the sunny hill
sides are ever before me.
And behold have saved q measure
of beans and q handful Of barley; therl
shall we plant and gather ini We ahNl
not SOW aud another eat, for behold TIN
heavens are the Lords, but the eartl
hath lie given TO the children of men
And then answered Carnegie, th,
typical monopolst (for II came 10 pas
that he had been IN hiding belind
pile of railB), and he lifted up his yoicl
and said, Great Is Protection aud the8l
are lts profits, Selah
q vain wOmanl how long wilt th0l
darken words without knowledge, anC
utter speeChswith0ut understanding,
Know that we have fenced In th
earth and builded wall and set bound
that none may pass over
lf thou SOW seed by the roadside th
fowls Of the air win come and deyou
10 up, and II thou plant " by the high
way the beasts shall destroy H.
Sow an lhe open fields, aud the ta'
gatherer shall waste thy bread and th
lord of the fields shall deyour thy sub
stance.
Notwithstanding, Andrew the Gale
donlan was somewhat cast down, anl
his spirit was disquieted within him,
For Andrew was not wicked a6Oyl
other men, nor sinner beyond all thv
other dwellers In that country,
And he said to himself, Behold vii
arise and utter my voice IN the N0rtl
American Review, and declare word
of wisdom throughout oil the land.
Surely great is protection and An
drew 10 has product; wonderful rs WIS
aom and Carnegie is her llrst born
And | believe In the dollar almighty
mother Of heaven and earth, aud II
special priyiledge and land monopoly
source aud foundation OF power opul
chase all marketable things,
| believe IN holy self, high prOteC
tive tariff on what wish 10 sell, fire
trade In labor, the survival of tile ricli
est and the life at the public cost AM
all the people shall say amen.
Yet am / moved with pity for theI
q toilerl / will put some Of thine carr
ings into charitable works for thy good
thine aud thy fellows. ,
will surely found libraries and hall
of music; schools OF protection an
soup houses shall stand hard by eac
other.
But the Time Spirit said; Thou foo
this night an accounting OF thy stew
ardship shall be required OF thee,
Who made thee u Judge and an aI
ministrator over thy brOtherY Have
built the constitution Of the moral un
verse upon charity or patterned thee
ner stone thereof after thy designing
Where vast thou when ! laid Il
foundations upon righteousness an
established II forever on justiceP Sur
ly thou vast then born for thou q
from of old aud the number Of I'll
years Is very great.
Verify, wisdom shall die with the
and understanding shall perish at u
death
And about those days arose certain
the sect called Geoigeites, the SAN
having not the fear Of political ca
tains before their eyes.
And the same agreed not with q
political captains, only In part, and The
had many followers, but not all open
at first, for fear Of the captains OF p0
ties aud the captains Of industry, M
some even for fear Of ecclesiastical ~
theological captains,
But the newspapers and able edito
mostly, Mt first, held their peace, wal
Ing to see whereunto this thing Won
grow,
And many in those days, because
their toll were ignorant, but Henr
whose surname was George, spake Oft
and earnestly unto the people.
And some answered what will III
babbler soyY Other some he SCENE
,, TO be q setter forth Of strange gods.
Others said, am my brothers kee
or ? and passed too and fro, noisy ~
shouting, with dust and great comm
ton, but going no whittier,
Now the rest of the acts Of Andre
and Of Benjamin, and Of the polite
and the theological captains may n
some of them be found written IN boz
Humbug, known and read OF all mer
Hundreds Of men have been throw
out Of work and the rest had their wag
reduced. Surely grea. protection ~
these are its results.
Employers 80 gress ana 81
"you must protect ll Jeoause we pay
much higher wages than are paid
other countries" and then they tu
around an say to the workmen, "Yo
: wages are high because we have pr
tection." Verify, verify, great Is HUI
