the country, said State Geologist
Winslow. Some call them n,yger-
heads and others lost stones. 1t is
believed by some that these stones
were cast upon the earth by some
great meteor or comet. The truth
Of the matter is, they were carried
here during the glacial peroid when
the ice cap slipped from the north
By the presence Of the stones it is an
easy matter to determine how far Tie

When the waters softly nurmur
And the gentle Zephyrs blow,
Don't forget to mention Chance
And the tariff that must go:
For il has never been forgotten,
And the records plainly show,
That the Democrats did promise
The Mckinley Bill should go.
The "chance' they asked was given.
And full time has passed. you KNOW
TO redeem the pledges made,
But the tariff doesn't go.
Oh, this mighty robbcr tariff
That steals from high and low.
If they're going to knock ii out
What makes them move so slow:
If protection isn't right.
AS they have plainly said.
Nhy 90 they ''protect' our sugar:
And why don't they have free lead:
They said it was unconstitutional,
This protecting" one mans goods.
And making the people pay it
Who have cleared away the woods.
If what they said was true.
Which We don't pretend to deny.
When they said that they would right it.
They certainly told Il lie.
For sugar is protected,
And so is iron and steel,
And things too numerous to mention.
In the famous Wilson Bill.
They said they favored silver.
That coinage should be free.
And if we had more money.
Better times we all would see.
They only asked a chance.
The President, Senate. and the House,
They would turn the ruscnls out
And let them 20 and brOwZe.
They would give us all free silver,
As our fathers had Of old.
Would place it on parity.
On equal terms with gold.
But when we gave 'cm the chance,
They all turned right about.
They didn't give us free silver,
Nor turn the rascals out.
But the promises they made
Hadn't time to get cold.
Till they knocked us out on silver
And made us pay in gold.
AS to the good times they promised,
1t is easy to decide.
That they either had no sense
Or have wilfully lied.
Here's the question. in the future,
For the people to decide.
Will they depend upon themselves,
Or the fellows that have lied:
If they say they were mistaken,
Were deceived by false prctcnSe.
The people should reply,
Leaders ought to have some sense.
