Dear Mr.. Editor: wauter ak yo'
'pinion bout sump'n hyeard de las
time I wuz in Dallas, what, if it amt
de trufe, den l got ter thrash er young
white Teller whar's bin er tryin' ter
make er fool Nv dish yer ole niger
map; an if it is de trufe, got ter turn
in an fix myself fer ter jump clean
fun off'n de publican onter de dimi-
cratic fatform.
Well, desc yer's de Jacks Nv de case
whar / wanter make requirements
bout, Mr.. Editer: After | done sole
out my load NV wood, what tuck to
tawo er spell ergo, | drapt intes sto'
fer ter bup er par NV briches an er
par Nv galluses fer myself an er haid
hankercher fer de OLE oman. Fus' L
axed fe de galluses an when dat young
NV er clerk fotch UNI out an to melt
de price Nv UNI wuz six bits, | wuz des
dat 'stonished / couldn't skasely bleye
my years. l ups an SEE ter him SEE L:
"Why, what's dat yen givin me, boss?
desc is de ve'y spit an imidge w de
galluses 1 got on right now, an L
bought um here las year fer fo' bits, }"
SEE /.
"Dats so" sezee. 81 ant er sputin'
what you says; but you know ev'ything
done riz sence den ON de count ov de
Kinley BILL" sezee.
"Kinlev Bill" SEE / who's his an
what's he got ter do wild de plice Nv
things in dish yer sto', SEE [. Den he
lows, sorter sprised like.
"Why, Uncle Isum! don't you know
bout de Kinley bill, an you ond Nv de
brightest colored lights Nv de publican
party in all dis ridgon Nv de state.
An spoons back.
"No l aint never hyeard er nobody
wild de family name Nv Bill cepin Nv
Buffalo Bill, dough rs bin quainted
wild lots Nv men, fus an las wild de
forgiven name Nv Bill
At dat deyoung Teller he des lean
back ginst dem dry goods shefs an laff
twel I wuz plum scard he gwinter far
" hurt hisse'f Den he tell me tant
no man name Bill but er sorter law
whar dey calls de tariff; an he splained
it ter me time an ergin, but | be blam
ed if I bin able ter make head er tale
Nv it yit.
Howsumdever, dis is bout de way
it pears ter me cordin ter dat young
clerks sesso: Oars some men up norf
what manifacters steel rails an tin pans
an fern biers an day kynt git as much
money fer UNI as dey wanter, SO dey
axes congress to pass er bill fer ter
perteck dar intruss. Congress it gifts
Mr. Kinley ter draw up der papers,
an, after argerfying an sputin bout it
fer de Lord knows how long, dey lays
on &c table an under de table an den
kyars it thoo bofe de houses, an, at
las dey votes ter make it er law what
dey call de Kinly tariff bill OATS de
law whar puts er tax on all imported
goods, sech as satin ribbins an silk
stockins an lace pocket hankerchefs
an marble statutes nm der like; an dat
tax fern bilers an so fofe ga up, an den
all de yuther stokeepers raises de price
Nv dar goods fer ter make things SOL
ter even-but nobody amt ar gwinter
pay me no mo fer my load Nv wood.
Now 1 amt got no use fer no fern
bilers an fer mighty few tin pans, nu-
ther is [ bankering arter satin ribblns
nur silk stockins, nur Indresst marble
women; but bleeged ter have iaiur
rubber galluses ag jeans briches an
striped haid hankerchers. an l don't
wanter paw no extry two fer UNI des
ter hep Gem rich manifacters ter make
mo money dan dey knows what ter do
wild. De impotin merchants can stan
it if dey's willin, but | amt got no
such bunnance Nv two-bitses but what
1 needs UNI fer myself, every one Nv
EN-. IF dars gwinter be any perteckin,
den I ruther fer Congress ter perteck
my load Nv wood. Oats what l calls
home perteckshun. An if it's fack,
like dat young Teller lowed, dat de
Kinley bill is de very foundati IN an
underpinnis Nv he publican Platform,
den no publican caindit amt er gwin
ter git marry vote from me, whedder
he's er runnin fer jestice NV de peace
Nv my precink ur president " desc
yer Newnited States.
Jeems he lows "bile it down. daddy,
bile it down" wish I'd er KEEP dat
boy in de cotton patch slider sendin
him ter school, an now I'd take de
money he'd er earnt an buy me one Nv
dem tykwriters whar would do my
written widout givin me no sass bout
bile it down.
Pleas, sir, answer an tell me de pine
blank TRUE bout dat KiHley bill.
Yo's truly,
