1t wuz hard tn believe that Their

people that seemed to hav ordinary

a party that tn put it mild wuz

Their ar a good menny things In

Wuz destined tn fiji.
After reedin a CRATE deel NV liter
allure on the subjick | KUN tn the
konklushnn that the mishun NV
the dimmykrat partl wuz tn annih-
ate the "trusts.' -
1t wuz evident that under our
civilizashun a CRATE mennI trusts
and monopolies had grone up and
fastened themselves onto our biznes
methods and that possibly the Re-
pubhkan parti had lett skrew
loose or u gap down and the dim
mykrat parti had BIN kawled into
bein tn foller after the Republican
parti and lay up the lenses. 1t be
gun to look that wa. You euddent
pick up paper ny that perswashun
but wat wuz full of anathemas agin
the Republican polici as a trust
proiectin, trust fosterin policy.
Dimmekratic platforms, a Is rahst-
in over all the ole chesnuts, usually
wound up with hevy brodside
agiu the trusts. DimmykIatic ora
tors after kussen the Republicans
klare thru the gammut. an after
pyain thare respecks to Linken,
Grant, Garfield, Blaine and Nc
Kinley wud ginerally wind up
with partiu shot at the Republi-
ken party an the trnsts Mi! how
tina wud rare up on thare hind legs
an saw the are and rare about the
trusts. An the occupant in the
White House, the Crate Stuffed
Profet, the Grand Turk, the Hi
Muckamuck, the Big Sachem NY
all the Dimmykrats, in big speeches,
big letters an big messages never
got dun talkin about the trusts,
kombines, corporations an monop-
olys, an reedin an heerin so much
NV this, [ had about made up mi
mind that an inscrutaole Provi-
dence had just let the dimmykrats
live to kill the trusts and kom bines,
but if that Wuz the kase, frum what
| node NV the dimmykratic party,
the waze of Providence wud hat to
be nifty alfred inskrutable shure
enuf.
But az | sed | lad rezened about
it an had made it out that wa, and
az | don't pertend to no everything
| had reckonsiled miself to that
konklushun; that it wud probably
be like the story in the Scripture
wher the devel went intu the hogs
and tina awl run down the hill and
jumpt lntu the Sc and the devels
and hogs and awl wuz drss1@f11tu
pile. | thawt it mite turn out
sumhow like that and we wud get
rid NV the trusts and dimmykrat
parti sumthing like in the same wa;
but | don't no enuff about the dew
ell to put it III shape like Garlic did
the shugger skedule and SO VII will
hat tn fgur ont this buteful alegory
tn suite yOr own noshun.
But lass! a lass! what du Sc?
My faith in Providence is unshak-
en- and the dimmykrat parti IL just
about as | thawt it wuz: a sham
and a frod on a skale that wud max
the Worlds Fare at Chekawga look
like nifty small pertaters.
