BROTHER JOHN TO UNCLE SAM.

Uncle Sam. do you remember when we chased
With red coats on the mountains. trying to
run you TO the ground;
Supposin we could whip you, and Hex you till
you'd run,
And thought continental war was just a lit
tie fun.
we sent our greatest generals and our armies
in array
And with King Georges edicts, supposed we'd
come to stay;
With ten to one against you, and our Golfers
full Of cash,
Our orders was to tie you up and We'll apply
the lash.
We intended well to tan your hides until you
dare not disOtey
The orders that we'd leave with you before
we'd go away
TO receive the praises OF our King for subdu-
ing you well.
But instead of getting victory we got per.
feet hell
For instead of King George spanking you up
ON his royal knee,
You gave his English Ma eSty the largest cup
OF tea
The world had ever thought of or nations ever
The one of Boston Harbor puts all others in
the shade.
You drove MS down to Yorktown and turned
Upon US; with your patriotism you completely
cooked our goose,
For Washington and Morgan ana Richard
Henry Lee.
With your army and the Congress made the
British BOW the knee.
So we had TO change our policy and try an
other plan,
For the Yankees licked the devil out OF every
And made them all skedaddle home, and glad
To get the chance,
To the tune of Yankee Doodle back to Eng
land to dance
So we had to sign treaty AMI beg and pray
for peace
And make you lots OF promises to get our
selves released
For we found oat lighting with you we were
left out il the cold,
So we had To try another scheme TO rob you OF
your gold
Then we gave you lots OF iattery and called
you our big brother
Anli mixed Lombard and Wall Streets till you
could not tell them from each other.
And We gave YOU banks OF credit from your
debts to get relief,
SO we brought Won into bondage and robbed
you like u thief.
For you paid US for our credit, and mortrared
us your land.
And poured your gold and. silver into Uncle
JOhnnys hanGs,
And let us appoint your Presidents and die
tate all your laws
And we've got you and your children fast be-
Now we thank you for your kindness for
you've kept our royal blood
With plenty OF money, and its done us lots OF
go ID
And hope that you'll continue the old system
to maintain.
For il you change your politics it will surely
give US pain
For that cursed Peoples party have made up
their minds To stop
Giving bonds to England and their interest to
crop:
And that would stop our salary and bring us
to a level
With all your working people. and would hurt
like the devil.
So please apply to Pullman. and Carnegie, and
the rest
OF England's friends and servants, and try
and do your best
To stop such catastrophe, that will surely
come acout,
If the Republicans and Democrats don't keep
the Peoples party out.

Then, how can prosperity come to a
country that is carrying a debt of $780,
600. 900, 900, as the interest in gold on
this vast sum is more than the country
can produce annually under the gold
standard system.
Is the country eXpec. ed to prosper
when it cannot produce enough to pay
the interest on its debts? 1t is folly
to talk of such thing.
If there was plenty of money so bus
mess could forge ahead. and with that
would result profitable production.

gradually liquidate this debt and get
it off their shoulders; then there would
be some hope for a brighter future

n farmer cannot prosper when the
interest on the mortgage covering lis
farm amounts to more each year than
he receives for his produce. This is
so plain that no one can fail to under
stand it. The same is true in the
country. If more money is called for
and taken out OF the country than the
country can possibly produce, the de-
ficiency must be met by the contrac-
ton of further Indebtedness.

How Can Prosperity Come.

The old party press and stumpers

is in sight.
How can prosperity come to this
country under present conditions?

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-United States
Minister Baker has cabled Secretary
Gresham that the Mosquito Indians
had formally incorporated their reser-

welcome news to the state department,
for it marks the end Of the BIuefelds
difficulties which have harassed the de-
partment for nearly year.
In the treaty Of Managua Of 1880 the
right was reserved to the Indians at
any time voluntarily to take this &C

any claim to protoctorate by Great

In the midst of summer harvest,
When the SUMS fierce rays came down,
Scorching every tree and leaflet
Till it looked Il russell brown:
In his home upon the prairie.
Stricken unto death one lay,
One who in the early spring time
Started out so blithe and gay,
Thankful for the life within him.
Promised manhood, true and rare,
Planning for himself a future,
Oh, so beautiful and fair;
Still twas but the old time story.
Work best planned doth often fail
Although God in intimate wisdom
Surely watches over all.
TO that home lie came an infant,
Carried in his mothers arms,
Reared from infancy to manhood
On that same old prairie farm.
So he planned to start his life's work
Mid the scenes wherein he'd dwclt,
Nothing daunting only trusting
Him who dOeth all things well.
Sowed the seed and waited, watching
1t unfold each day and hour,
Hoping for abundant harvest,
Helped by sunshine; wind and shower.
Tho the grain came fastening forward,
Early harvest sure to come,
Fer it needed the busy workers
God had called him to his home.
But ut last the strength was wasted: ,
All that hands could 10 was done,
And he drifted, drifted slowly
Onward to his heavenly home;
And the little baby sister
Gone but three short years before
Beckoned him with dimpled fingers,
Standing on the shining shore.
Loving mother, father, brother,
Sister, all whom he adored,
God has taken your darlings from you,
Heaven has just two angels more.
From the school house on the prairie,
Where his first school days were passed.
Friends and neighbors bore him gently.
Gently to his final rest.
On bed OF pain and anguish
Many weary days he lay,
Watched by faithful nurse and loved ones
Trying hard deaths hand to stay, ,..
Blt the schorcling days came onward:
Nights of anguish, days of pain,
Naught but suffering for the sufferer,
Weary watching. nothing gained.
