Ode to the Owing.

You may talk about the tariff and protection
and free trade,
And party panaceas for expressing human
ills
And improving trade conditions" and the
boom that wheat has made,
But the way to stir up business Is to pay
your little bills.
II you owe the grocer twenty, and he owes the
butcher ten,
And five more to the coalman and to the
iceman five,
Your payment Of the twenty helps along thret
business men,
And the payments they can make in turr
make other people thrive
Idle money In your pocket doesn't do you any
good.
Unless your bills are all paid up in full II
isn't yours.
Just pay up all you're able, as you wish that
others would.
That's the recipe for hard times that invari
ably cures.
II you pay what you owe Others others still
can then pay you.
It's the circulating dollar that the pulse Of
business thrills.
Bo set your money working and then watcE
what 1t will do,
For the way to stir up business Is to pay
your little bills.
