Make cities shake and traitors quake beneath

The voice that sings projections hymn should
wake the very dead.
Tell Cleveland now and Cochran, TOO, and VIII

That they stand In hostile attitude TO work

Tell that horde Of free trade lords who now in
congress rave
They'll bear the brand of Arnold to foul, dis
honored grave.
Before US stand the fabrics grand protection
laws have raised
Their silent looms, their ruined homes and la
Dor now debased.
The giant twain Of hand and brain free trad
ers have struck down,
And the nations once proud sovereign is u
pauper on the town.
The home Of peace and wifelike grace Is cold
and cheerless now.
Free traders work has left its mark on the
weeping mothers brow.
The naked walls and wind swept halls the sad
dening story tells.
Our youth must find some shelter kind in the
city's gilded hells.
Who is the knave that madly raves for Will
sons free trade plan
In congress hall TO plan the fall OF the once
proud workingmany
Base Cochran first, who held our trust, against
US has engaged.
He's playing the clown and low buffoon on
Clevelsnd's free trade stage.
