And in those days came certain men
Of sect called of themselves Redeem
ers, and did say unto the people thus:
See to it now that times are hard and
everything is on a dead standstill.
Will We not then hearken unto us?
Know We not the cause OF all these
calamities and hard times?
Can We not see that nature herself
is arrayed against you and the present
administration?
See to it then that We give us your
votes and we will drive these scourges
from your borders and redeem this
nation from the sin and pollution into
which your political heads have
cast it.
And it was so, that the people did
hearken unto these oily-tongued rep
resentativeS Of political pollution, rot
tenness and carnation, and did cast
their votes on their side.
And, lol behold their perhdyl that
which before was stale became rotten,
times which before were hard became
uncomfortable, the voice of the people
which before had been murmur be-
came a mighty rumbling, and where
as nature had before been unfavorable
she now turned her back upon the
people and there was sore famine
throughout the land until the people,
unable to endure it any longer, began
to cry out with a mighty voice, give
us back our administration as it was,
give US back free silver, give us back
nature as she was. Oh! give us but
