THE sUGAR-cuRsD CONGRESS.


TUSE-"Th Old oaken Bucket"
How dear to our hearts is our Democratic
Congress
As hopless inaction presents II TO view;
The bill of poor Wilson, the deep tangled
tariff,
And every mad pie ge that their lunacy
knewi
The widespread depression, the mills that
closed by it,
The rock of free silver where great Grover
fell,
They've busted our country. no use to deny 1t,
And dsrl The old party, it's busted as well.
This q. Cleveland Congress,
This Queen Lily Congress,
This wild free trade Congress
We all loved so well.
Their moss-covered pledges we no longer
treasure,
For often at noon when out hunting a job
We find that instead OF the corn they had
promised.
They've given US nothing-not even cob.
How ardent we've cussed 'em with lips over
flowing
With the sulphurous blessings as great swear
words fell.
The emblems of hunger. free trade and free
silver,
Are sounding in sorrow the workingman's
knell
This bank-breaking Congress,
This mill-closng Congress,
This starvation Congress
We all love SO we'll.
How sweet from their eloquent lips to re.
ceive it,
"Cursed tariff protection no longer Uphold"
We listened - and voted our dinner pals
empty,
The factories silent, the furnaces cold,
And now far removed from our lost situa-
tioas.
The tear of regret doth intrusively swell.
We yearn for Republican administration
And sigh for the Congress that served us so
we'll.
This Fifty-third Congress,
This Democrat Congress,
This sugar-cured Congress
We wish was in--well.

Mr.. Bland proposes that the govern
ment issue the notes, calling them coin

The Bland measure would have besn
offered as substitute for the pending

view Of the subject. Mr.. Bland's plan
will be offered in connection with mo.

Provision is also made for the redemp-
tiou OF outstanding green backs and

became exaspersted and began to wreck
the stores of their employers.
When the mob reached Multrie's store
it Was confronted by the clerks armed
with revolvers. They fred over the
heads OF the mob and wounded a man
and a woman. The mob then rushed
into Cramer's store. and carried off Q
large number OF watches. Several per-
cons were slightly bruised by being
struck with clubs.
From about. $3.50 O'Clock until 5
O'Clock the town was at the mercy Of the
