THE FOURTH WE USED TO KNOW.

Oh for another July Fourth,
The Fourth of days agone,
When cannon beloved on the green
Before the break of dawn,
When with the village band we march
ed
Afire with freedoms glow!
Oh, let it come with fife and drum,
The Fourth we used to know!
Do you remember how we rose
Long ere the break of day
And hurriedly slipped on our clothes
And made a dash away
TO where the bells and cannons were,
Where smoke was hanging low?
All, yes, morn of freedom born,
The Fourth we used to know!
Do you remember. too, the flag
Above the village square?
How proud and glorious we felt
To see it waving there
Do you recall the stirring speech
Which set our hearts aglow,
Tie grand parade, the games we play
ed.
The Fourth we used to know?
The Fourth we used to know! oh,
where
Has the old spirit fed?
We still are brave; cannot think
That spirit wholly dead
The spirit born at Bunker Hill,
At Concord. long ago.
Oh, let it come, with fife and drum,
The Fourth we used to know!

In 1894 during Democratic admins
tration, the cotton mills Of the United
States consumed only 70 per cent of tie
entire average cotton crop. Last year
tley used over Fl per cent, and this year
they will use about one-thIrd Of The whole
crop; more than twice as much as in
1894. Workers in the cotton mills should
not forget that Republican administration
means double the quantity Of work and
higher wages besides.
