MY PEOPLE DOTH NOT CONSIDER.


And IL came TO pass in the reign Of
Teddy that the wise prophet opened his
mouth and taught much knowledge. say
ing:
O. Give ear, my son. and attend 10 my
words OF wisdom. which shall be as n
light in a dark place and a lamp unto
thy feet
g. BE not tempted by the gay free
trader and go not in the political way
OF the robber tariff which he inaugu-
rateth
4. For. To-, it shall swlndle thee out of
thy job or cut thee down in the prime
OF prosperity; so shall poverty come upn
thee as n thief in the night and want
as an armed man.
5. But my people doth not consider and
sometimes elect the free traders. and
when those enemies OF the bread winners
bear rule the people mourn.
g. ca, in 1925 and even in 1892 did the
foolish elect free trade congress. which
enacted "A .robSer free trade and free
booter tariff which did bamboozle the
wsge earners out of employment and
brought on the panic OF 1897.
T. Nevertheless the plundered victims
awoke from their free trade trance and
elected a congress which enacted a pro-
tective tariff, whirH- furnished en-
ployment for the needy sufferers.
s. But my people doth not consider; for
the festive free traders again hoodwinked
the bread winners. who again elected a
free trade or freebooter congress which
again robbed tho wage earners OF work
and the masses went lcker-te-cut down
into idleness. cold. hunger and rags.
Verify, the panic OF 1857 should have been
a warning light TO steer clear of the
dangerous reefs of idleness and the quick
sands OF loafing
.. Howbet, my people doth not con-
slider. but voted for Grover. Wilson, idle
ness and loafng, and again down they
went. bump ker-bump and thump. kerr
bump into free trade. want. woe and
mournful poverty; for through the Wilson
freebooter tariff foreign trusts and
monopolies glutted our home market and
our laborers were consequently swlndled
out OF their Jobs and the wage earners
groaned
