''Why do the mills run night and day?' said

because Mckinley and his bill have made
heavy trade
Then Bryan he looked solemn, the horny
handed smiled.
The Office-Seeker winked q wink, the Brit
iSherS looked wild.
And they put their heads together, and the
voters they beguiled
To swipe Mckinley and Protective Tariff.
''Wot's all the bloomin' racket" said
Bryan-on-parade.
''TheyVe shut the bloody mill down. the
hOrney-handed said.
''Why have they shut the mill DOWN." said
Bryan-On-parade.
"All on account of you, old man, and your
blOOmin' old Free Trade"
Then Bryan he looked weary, and the
horny-handed mad
The congressmen looked scary, and the
BritiSherS looked glad,
And the voters they looked anxious, and all
because they had
Helped swipe Mckinley and Protective
Tariff

Bryan-On-parade.
the banker sadly said.
'Wot are they rushin' there for?' said
Bryan-on-parade.
''To grab their money out, because you've
given them Free Trade
Then Bryan he looked puzzled and the
banker he looked blue.
And the treasury went empty, and the pub
lie debt it grew.
And the people swore they'd be content if
once again they knew
Mckinley and his good Protective Tariff.
''Wot's all the bloomin' racketr said
Bryan-on-p parade.
''Were selln' wool for 16 cents'' the stur-
dy farmer said.
"Why won't it bring much more than thatF'
said Bryan-On-parade.
"Because it's in the free list in your beastly
old Free Trade"
Then Bryan looked astonished, and the
farmer he looked beat,
For he could get but 80 cents for sixty
pounds of wheat.
And he vowed he never more would help
the Democrats to beat
Mckinley and his high Protective Tariff.
"Wot's ali the bloomin' racket" said
Bryan-On-parade.
''The peoples got enough Free Trade" the
horney-handed said.
''Why have they got enough Free Trader
said Bryan-On-parade
because that they amt got no work, since
YOU have got Free Trade"
Then Bryan stroked his pocketbook, the
British Rugged their gold,
The voters counted up the lies the Demo
Gratis had told,
And swore they'd have another deal, and
have again the old

BET YOUR LIFE.

See the bloated silver barons
With a multitude of mines,
They care not for the wOrkingman
So that their dollar shines;
They are bowling for free silver,
They've enlisted for the strife,
And they're all against Mckinley,
Bet your life.
There's another set of ROSTERS
Who are always on the flop;
Today they're Democratic,
And tomorrow Demopop;
You will find them on the corners
Talking like . scolding wife,
And they're all against Mckinley,
Bet your life.
There's the mighty hobo army
Swarming every country way,
Beneath the old and shady tree
They snore the livelong day,
With schemes for getting rid of work
Their brains are always rife,
And they're all for Billy Bryan,
Bet your life.
There's the sober man of business
And the farmer by his fence,
They want an honest dollar
That is worth one hundred cents;
You'll find them by the thousands now
Where politics are rife.
And they're talking for Mckinley,
Ret your life.

The business men as a rule ~ the towns
of Nebraska are for Mckinley and sound
money The business men of Iowa are
for Mckinley and sound money. The
husiness men of Kansas are for McKin-
lev and sound money. The business men
of the entire nation are so nearly unani-
nous for Mckinley, that the popocrat
candidate constantly appeals to what he
calls 1.-THE Masses" and tries to unite
them against the business man. Now,
why are the business men of the United
States so nearly unanimous for Mckin-
lev? Is it because they are dishonest and
wicked and desire to destroy the country
Is 1t that uney &C
so weak in judgment that they can be
fooled into policy that is bad, that is
unsafe and that will ultimately bring
more disaster than we now have: Or is
if not rather that because the best Judg-
ment and ripest experience is in the
business mind. and to that mind Bryan
ism and free coinage is dangerous?

knowledge of things at first hand.
Even at 16 years of age he had super
stition that tO retreat was fatal. When he
set hand to any plan or started upon any
journey, he felt the necessity of going to
the turn of the lane or to the end OF the

he said, "I can do that" he not merely

that he had thought his way to the Sue

Sends perfume ON the summer gale
And breathes to all. with fragrant sigh

Fits ON, unmindful of the hour,
