Chapter VIII In which Is chronicled
the manly bearing Of protectionlsts and
the sneaking double dealing Of the free
trade tories regarding the war with
Spain. and the glorious results thereof.
I. Now aforetime even when william,
who is called Mckinley. was president
OF all the land Of Israel. which being
interpreted signiheth America, II came TO
pass that the goodly ship Maine was
blown up with its crew OF 266 noble boys
in blue, and there was great excitement
and indignation throughout all the land
OF Uncle Samuel.
2. Albeit. behold. the free traders,
hoping Ia glut our home market and
throw two to four millions out OF en-
ployment. did set up a copperhead yell
that the president declare war at once.
because. forsooth. not bieng ready for
war. they did hope that our troops would
be rushed right into the fight and get
woefully beaten and many thousand be
slain. thereby bringing Mckinley into dis
repute and thus insuring his defeat at
the next election, and then with some
tory copperhead president and a free
trade congress could they repeal the
Dngley tariff. rob millions Of employ
ment and on the miseries OF the people
fatten with much rich fodder within the
governmental positions OF profit and
honor.
g. Howbeit patriotic protectionists had
cut their eye teeth long before and greatly
understood the free trade bunco game,
and. 10. they utterly refused TO have the
army and navy slaughtered to please and
prosper free trade tories; yea, protection
lists did neatly block the sneaking game
and while Mckinley and his mighty men
did rush preparations even like unto a
thousand of brick. they waited patiently
because they did not wish TO shed the
innocent blood Of wage earners who made
up most of dear Uncle Samuels forces
on both sea and land.
4. Nevertheless when all things were
ready the noble protectionists shouted In
the Hebrew tongue, let her whiz! And
when the aforesaid war cry burst forth,
the army and navy with one accord
moved upon the enemies works, horse,
foot and dragons with the captains and
the shoutings
s. Then rose up Dewey and his men
and sailed to Manila bay. and 10. they
lifted up their banners and putting them
selves upon their muscles smote Montejo
and his men, and there was such a vic
tory as was before unknown upon the
bosom OF Neptune's dominions.
6. Then also came the great naval
victory Of Santiago and the splendid as
sault and triumph on land.
Z. Now came. withal. the mighty set
back Of the double dealing free traders.
For when they cursed brave Gen. Miles
for not landing mighty army OF 100000
men in Cuba and straightway marching
on Havana. then did the free traders sor-
row az those who have no hope.
s. Wherefore? Because the splendid
army OF Uncle Sam being composed Of
bread winners. the free traders did hope
that $4,000 would die OF malaria and other
diseases prevalent in Cuba, while they.
the free traders, would point out the inef-
ficiency OF the administration. Because
why? Wherefore. but that free trade
Janus-faced politicians do I've and move
and have their political being IN the mis-
cries. hardships and misfortunes OF wage
workers.
g. And now let us raise the curtain and
look behind tho scenes. yea. Let Us gaze
upon the brazen change Of front by free
traders. Hoarest thou that Tory yell
that we withdraw our troops nj once
from Cuba. but more speedily II possible
from the Philippines?
10. Say. did ye not hear it7 And, 10.
IL was not the car rattling DER the stony
streets. but the ancient Tory screech 10
withdraw from the Philippines and re-
duce the grand and glorious victory OF
our hero Dewey 90 a mere drama acted
before the footllghts of some third OF
fourth rate theatre.
n Mad WITH Dewey. angry with the
heroes OF Santiago by sea and land, but
especially hating with satanic malevo-
lence the wage oarners who do mostly
compose our brave boys by sea and land
the free traders have raved like lunatics
and talked like Tinto msdmsn.
