Mr.. Kent said that a protective tar

That what lose | gain. you see;
And on such things as clothes and
shoes

Thus, II buy my socks too low.
They'll still be higher, he says SO:
And shoes, thought were high last

Were really low shoes after all.
If | pay less for shoes, or hats
The maker has to lose.
And II he loses, then You see.
lie charges up the loss TO me.
Now when | have 10 pay him more,
He reckons profits to his store:
And Duncan finds a share for me.
In all Of his prosperity.
The speeches shed radiant light
Upon the theme and make II bright;

To find morc's less and less Is more.

Dears cheap. and cheap Is dear az

Highs low. lows high, far's near,
near's far,
Whites black. blacks white. and
there you are
