''WHAR Dew CUM IN?'


M "Th ,5s s a m@ig9tyy D lot sr talki ,bs about S.r, farmers nanen n thar tights
Thars a heap er foolish CROWN n the beat, b BEGIN tu
n honer fer the Tariff ter keep free raw sugar out! "u'
An the farmers through the country amt got much ef i o..
The hull land amt a-raIsin' beets, n amt goin' ter begin ~ Ut"
Beet growin's right fer sum, ! guess-but whar dew I cum -,
The farmer gifts four dollars now fer every ton O bets
A hanson price, must allow-but hidin' sum deceits,
Beet sugar manufacturers admit es they hev found
Tibet "granylated" costs 'em sumthin' like tev cents 4 ,ou.,
And-if it kin be sold fer three, why SHOULD we pay en- FIVE,
It seems ter me es thets a game thets mighty like a skin
Buff thar'S any OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES dew / cum IMP
When Uncle Sans in want o cash we're glad ter help him az,
N we'll stand all the taxes tibet are needed, never doubt, "'
But when his pocket-books well lined an nary cent he Iscks
Them feners wot is interested seq its to protect
The beet-producin' farmer tibet the duty they collect,
But guess tibet explanation es a little bit too thin
The sugar maker,-h<s all right. ;-but-whar dew us cum IMP,
Take off raw sugar gar. duty an the price will quickly fall,
The poor will bless the Government tibet placed it in thar r..,s
The dealer II be deEghted-less expenditure fer him
More demand n bigger proftsI.,which at present are but slim.
An the farmer II be as well paid as he ever yet hes ben
But he'll buy his sugar cheaper-thets whar he an I'll cum in
When Our treasurys a-bulgin' an we hev no debts ter paw,
The duty on raw sugars Fifty million every year
An the peoples got ter pay it-thets a fact thets very clear
Fifty miiion Great Je.usha Ter protect beet magnateS t t~'

Thus ter help an fill thar Golfers? Whar dew you an I cum ini
The farmer CROWN beets hes got a contract price fer years
Free raw sugar wouldn't hurt him, an of t lie hes no fears.
But mebbe, like myself-hes also growing fruit so nice
Ter preserve it-at a proft-he needs sugar-dt a Picei
The repeating of the duty surely cuts the price in two
Thetll make a mighty difference, neighbor, both ter me an voui
Let the sugar manyfactrer make such profits as he kin
Ter him it may seem right enuff-b whar dew I cum in2
An I amt a-goin' ter swauer all the arguments they shout
Thet the farmers need protection-an' must bar raw sugar out.
Common sense is plainly showin' that the people in the land
Want raw sugar free in future-an'. its freedom will demand.
IT'S a tax no longer needed hateful to the public view
Taxing millions of our people to enrich a favored few.
They can't blind me any longer with the foolish yarns they SPIN
While they're busy maxim money-whar dew you and | come in2
I'm a-goin' ter keep on hustlin', talkin', plead.n' with nv trends
Amt no sense in lettin others gain thar selfish privet ends.
I'm a goin' ter write ter-morrer to my Congressman nd say
Tibet he oughter do his best ter kill that tax without delavI
Feler-farmers, do your utmost-whether you grow bects or NOT
To repeal the tax on sugar-you can but improve your lot!
Cheaper sugar helps your pocket, greater blessings you can win
When we've three-cen granylated-thats whar you an l come inr
