LIGHT AND AIRY.


The season colder grows apace
The winds begin to roar;
So, when you come into this place,
Please mister, shut the door
IT'S most too warm for fires as yet,
They'd open every pore;
But frost has come, mankind to fret,
So, mister, shut the door
Don't leave It swinging while we sneeze,
And christen you a bore;
Unless you want TO see us freeze
Why, hang it, shut the door
Don't make us shiver til we're blue,
And banker for your gore;
Look here, we've said all we're going 10 ON this
subject and the next thing you know wen be
over there wiping the floor up with you
Unless you shut that door

PUBLIC ROBBERS.

Our correspondent Subsidy represents
the meauest and most inexcusable class
Of beggars-the rich beggars He
attempts to show that tile shipping trade
is improbable to the United States and
to all other cauntrics that other c0un
tries, especially Great Britain, maintain
it by subsidy That is not true Of Great
Britain. She docs not grant
subsidies. The countries which have
granted subsidies have not a
prosperous commerce. II the pro-
positions were true, that Great Britain
carries our goods TO and fro at her own
expense, and that by appropriations from
the public TREASURY Of the United States
to the Golfers of rich shipping concerns
we could underbid Great Britain, there
would be nothing gained except by the
rich shipping corporations If Great Brit
ain desires the honor OF carrying our goods
free we are the gamers The propositions
are not true ard no political economist
Of any reputation ever made them. II is
a shame that men will appear with un
blushing impudence TO ask subsidies to
ask class legislation; to demand prior
consideration for the particular trade, by
which they make livelihood; at the
hands of Congress- They bribe aud
threaten and use other despicable means
under the plea Of benefting the work
ing man, or diversfying the industries
of the country, IN The face Of the dis.
tress, starvation and crime that such
class legislation is notorously lresponsi-
BILE for. They are the meanest class of
beggars in existence because they do not
need what they ask, aud they misrepre-
sent, bribe and threaten Legislators to
obtain their unjust, uuwarrantable
and unconstitutional demands They
impudently demand aims and threaten
collapse Of our trade II we do not con
cede their demands They take the po-
sition OF public robbers, in the language
Of the Uuited States Supreme Court, and
with the coolness Of buccaneers request
us TO say WHY they should not live at
public expenseY They esteem it an in
jury If we ask why we shall be taxed to
support them or their enterprises.
