And produced his roll of bills.

In it's eloquence that thrills
Money talks!" They gathered round him
And the wagers soon were laid.

Sherman-Then what is the objection

Hill replied that Carlisle should be
treated by the Republican Congress as
Sherman (while secretary of the treas

gress. He should be courteously in
vited by the finance committee of the
Senate, or by the committee on ways
