Tariff Bill. !

Tariff Bill.
Little Bill and big Bill and short Bill
and tall,
Billy with the billygoats and sideburns
and all;
Fat Bill and lean Bill and dumb Bill
and smart.
True Bin and due Bill and Bill la
carte:
Tariff Bits the first Bill,
The middle and the last,
S For it's always on the so,
But it never gets a-past!
Soft Bill and Hard Bill and old Bill
and new,
Billy atribilious and Billy fresh as
new;
Square Bill and round Bill and sour
Bill and sweet:
And little Billy Brooches in his bare
brown feet:
Tariff Bills the boss Bill,
Who's like a Sunday beau
That fingers on the stairway
And never wants to go,
High Bill and dry Bill and Billy wild
and calm,
And Billy in fury, sir. and Billy-Tll-
be-damn;
White Bill and tight Bill and Bills of
yesterday
You thought you were out of reason
and declared you wouldn't pay:
Tariff Bits the straight Bill,
The old Bill friend,
Who came when the world came
And stays until the end
Baltimore Sun.
