The Song of the Whaling Crew.

It's strange how gossip travels in these
days of enterprise,
And how little story reaches most
prodigious size.
Now, way up there in Newfoundland
the strange tale has been told
How prices at the Long Brick Store
used up the whale SO bold.
The news came by messenger, and
they called it very odd;
When they saw the fish that brought il
they all thought it was a cod;
But he swore it was the solemn truth,
and wiggled both his fins
He said that lying wasn't down upon
his list of sins.
The lady whales said, ooh, dear me, did
you ever see the like?"
The gentlemen said, Its quite time we
whales went on strike"
And all the little fishes that filled the
great salt sea
just swan around and told the news,
excited as could be.
The whitefish with dsmay got blue;
bluefish in fear turned white;
Red snappers i'm the face got black
black bass turned red with fright.
They called caucus, then aud there,
amid the rocky reefs
A meeting of the leading whales and all
the big whale chiefs.
=" It's plain that we must action take"
said speaker No. one;
deep principles are here involved and
something must be done"
His voice gave out; he paused for breath
with many snort and wheeze-
Whales cannot sing, though they are
quite familiar with high Csl--

Then No. began to speak, and so the
meeting went.
We need not tell you what they said
they were on vengeance bent.
The chairman then appointed great
whale committee there
To go and seize the Long Brick Store
and not a soul to spare.
They started off one moonlight night;
the silver waves were still
As tough as whalebOne was each heart,
as strong as iron each will.
Then nearer, nearer to our coast they
came, this whaling band,
But they scurried along the bottom,
for you see they needed sand.
The nearer came they to our shores,
the more they heard it said,
That prices at the Long Brick Store,
would turn the best whales head.
They whispered it among themselves,
ats worse than we bad thought,
The prices must have dropped still
more since brother Bill was caught.
Cone fourth, one-third, and even less,
they're asking for mems wear.
This whale sale must be CROWN fast,
the news spreads every where"
But finally they reached a port, saw
news they didn't like;
In n Northerner which they borrowed
from friendly wall-eyed pike.
They read the prices, then struck out
due northward from the shore.
Down, down the prices on clothing went
at Paw Paws Long Brick Store.
But whales are all Outdone, done up,
subdued forever more.
Their low prices demands a whaling

system fast anchored to the British
Isle and subject to all the csprices and
consequences growing out of that con-
nection. For example, remember how
the export demand for millions
caused the financial catastrophe of
1857, and how the recent draft Of gold
from this country agitated and dis
turbed the financial waters. These
are examples that have been dupli-
Gated and repeated over and again in
our history. And why should we con-
tlnue to hug such a system to our
hearts and falsely believe it to be the
best system that can be devised? Sim.

breathe, financially, by the grace of
the Englishmsn, by his good will and
permission. And the Englishman is
governed entirely by his interest. If
that runs counter to our interest, we
must take the consequences, as we
have so often done. A reasonable and

everyday discussion of the silver ques

1890 to 1916, and the latter from 1861 to
1879, didn't know gold, but relied en-
