as 8 breath against storm. MT. Simpson was the embodiment of the poor mans protest and the personifi- cation of the poor man'swroDgs. With all the eloquent fervsr of righteous wrath he stormed against the tariff barons and the lords of monopoly who were plundenng the poor; and as he thundered the eyes of his hear CTS blazed and their hands clenched and their voices echoed the fury of his Reclamation. And then he welt upon the miseries of the plundered poor with such depth of pathos that eyes which were unused to the melt ing mood dropped tears as fast as tho Arabian trees their incidental gum. And here it was that the ora. tor reached the grand climax of his speech. He presented himself to his hearers as visible evidence of what the iniquitous policy of the Govern ment had wrought upon the farmer. He pointed them to the frayed, patched and threadbare jeans with which he was forced by tariff taxa tion to cover his weather bitten skin, revealed their gaping rents, "poor poor dumb mouths," and bade them tell the heartbreaking story of pov- erty and distress, and then in the wild abandon of hls eloquent frenzy he suddenly cast of his plough shoes and brandished aloft his bruised and knotted foot, sockless and bare, stone bruised and corn -cumbered, revealing the very extremity, as one might say, Of privation aud suffering but even this was not all DOT the worst. The sockless foot was exhib- It No. 1; the drawersless leg was ex- hibit No. ?. After Mir. Simpson had made an oratorical pause, during which his auditors were allowed to finger and scan the extended foot to see that no deception was being practicsd, he suddenly drew his jeans brooches above tho knee and waved aloft q nude and grisly shank as innocent Of drawers as his foot was of sock. That was the finishing touch of the great oratorical master piece. Strong men wept. Ladies averted their eyes and hid their faces in their hands to conceal their emo tons. And in the midst of the shrieks and groans and curses which l rent the air, Mir. Simpson turned and pointed . gnarled and skinny toe at his covering competitor as who should say: "This, monster, is thy workp Mark Antony himself, when he uncovered "dead Cessar's wounds to the Roman populsce, stirred no such horror and indignation in the hearts of his listeners. Mir. Simpson owned every man, woman and child in the crowd from that moment, and | whenever hs fiourished that huge and distorted foot and that red and | scaley leg the enemies of the people fell before it. We don't know how we could better epitomize the story of Jerry's glorious campaign and the of his followers than in his own poetic language as he is quoted in the Kansas City Star: ''It was a mighty tussel that the peo-
 pie gave the ring
 And where the fight was thickest you
 could see old Jerry spring; He didn't wear no plume; he warnt'
 no Henry Of Navarro, But every time he hit lick he allus
 left a scar.
 And when the doubtful contest was at
 its whitcst heat,
 He jest drawed on his boots and waded
 in with naked fsetI
 And all the farmers shouted as they
 see his telling knocks: Hooray for Jerry Simpson,
 which
 he
 don't
 wear
