rhar's a mighty lot er talEin' about farmers m thar rights,
IN the wonderful prosperity tibet beet CROWN invites.
Thar's er heap of foolish CROWN N the "beats' begin tez shout
IN boiler fer the Tariff ter keep free raw sugar outl
But I motifs tibet the beet-producin' farms arr very few,
An the farmers through the country amt got much eff it ter dew.
The hull land amt a-raisin' beets, m amt goin' ter begin,
Beet growin's right fer sum, I guess-but, whar dew Tcum in?
The farmer gifts four dollars now fer every ton o. beets-
A hansum price, I must alow-but hidin' sum deceits.
Beet sugar manufacturers admit es they hv found
Thet "grany1ated' costs 'em sumthin' like tew cents a pound.
In fact tibet leaves a profit on which they'd greatly thrive
It seems ter me IS thets a game thet's mighty like a skin
Buff thar's any Observation-Disclosures dew Icun in?
When Uncle Sans in want o. cash we're glad ter help him out,
IN we'll stand all the taxes tibet are needed, never doubt,
Bnt when his pocketbook's wei. lined an nary cent he lacks,
Etseems ter me his duy's ter repeal tibet sugar tax.
Them fe1lers wot is interested seq it's to protect
The beetproducn' farmer tibet the duty they collect,
Butt guess tibet explanation e s a little bit too thin
The sugar maker,-hes all right;-but-whar dew zee cum in7
Take off raw sugar duty an the price will quickly fall,
To everybodys benefit, fer sugars used by all.
The poor will bless the Government tibet placed it in thar reach
IN millions of our citizens free sugar now beseech)
The dealer II be delighted-less expenditure fer him
An the farmer IL be as well paid As he ever yet hes ben
But he'll buy his sugar cheaper-thet's whar he an I'll cum in.
Now, whars the sense err reason of the sugar tax to-day,
When u treasury's a-bulgin' an we hv no debts ter pay7
The duty on a sugars Fifty million every year
An the peoples got ter pay it-thets a fact thet's very clear.
Fifty millions Great Jerushai Ter protect beet magnates, too,
And the FEW? Beet-sugar MAKERS Don't it really seem a sin
Thus ter help an fill thar cofers7 whar dew you an I cam in
The farmer CROWN beets hes got a contract price fer years.
Free raw sugar wouldn't hurt him, an of it he has no fears,
But mebbe, like myse1f-he's also growing fruit s. nice
Ter preserve tat a prolific needs sugar-atG price!
The repeating of the duty, surely cuts the price in two
Thet11 make a mighty difference, neighbor, both ter me an you'll
Let the sugar manyfactrer make such profits a $ he kin
Ter him it may seem right enuf-but whar dew cum in?
An I amt agoin ter swailer all the arguments they shout
Thet the farmers need protecion-an must bar raw sugar ont.
Common sense is plainly shown that the people in the land
Want a sugar free in future-an' its freedom will demand.
'is a tax 70 longer needed-hatefui 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 I cum in ,
I'm agon' ter keep on hustlin', ta1kin', peadin' with my frends,-
Amt no sense in 1ettin' others gain thar selfish privet ends. @
Tn agoin' tel write termorrer to my Congressman md say
Thet he oughter do his best ter kill that tax without delay
Ferer-farmers, do your utmost whether you grow beets or not
To repeal the tax on sugar-you can but improve your lott
Cheaper sugar helps your pocket, greater blessings you can win
When we've three-cent granylated-thats whar you an I cum ini
