he also maid study OF the tariff question
and to the amazemint and extreem disgust
of his bruther manufacturers he would as
sert with CRATE vehemince, waving them
whisllers defiantly, that the American man
ufaet1,qr had no reel need for q protective
tariff. unless they wanted to pursue as a
pennminint occupasion the profession of
legallized robbers and hywaymen.
EVERY now and then between times,
WillyWn Cox would hire hall ovver III
Brooklyn, when the home TEEN was out OF
town, and give plain and fancy immlta-
sion Of how to make fases and submit rude
and iiisring remarks about Predatory
Weelth and the grinding taxes imposed on
the pore laburring man by the Republlcon
party The ennymies of Willyum Cox as
surted unfeelingly that he continued with
CRATE attension to details to sell his engines
and blowers at the current prises obtained
under the sed nniqntns tariff system, but
ones enpgmies will say emmy thing. This
did not detur Willyum from a single rap
at the system Evvery time he got the OPP
pertunnty, which was evvery time sed OPP
pertunnity was laying round and not nailed
down, Willyum would take the occasion to
say that the pore laburring man would new
yer stand fat chanse to be emmy thing else
but pore laburring man until the Republi-
con party was put permminintly and SVEN
tiffically on the ky-bosh.
What followed was inevvitabull. The
electorate of Brooklyn in Willyums dis
trict being in the most part not maid up
Of Predatory weelth but Of quite the opper-
site deturmed that Willyum, in spite of

answer Whiskers did not do it. They may
have been instrumental in the decision,

Immediately when ii becum known that

have leeched frum the struggling masses
and purloined frum the pore laburring man
through the medyum Of spessial privilege,
began TO have the cold shivvers run up and
down there spine cords, and the hor1izun
took on dark blew appeerense forwith.
And there was a reesun. Well mite they
trembuIl and shuddcr a few choise and we'll
defined shuds. When they began to get
a little chesty and pore in on Congress there
protests against the Sacred Tariff which
Willyum and the demmycratic party have
been defending for 10 theese menny moons,
and intimating that if the tariff was re-
dused on there goods. that they would take
it out on he spessial trends of Willyum, the
pore laburrng man, and proseed to further
grind his nobull brow damp with the per-
spirasion Of honest toll, and his classicll

whiskers stood strait out frum his face and
sweIled up like the existed tail Of a Thomas
eat. When Willyum Cox gets that way 1t
is we'll for evvery boldly to beware; if they
can't beware, it is there misfortune and
that 5 all there is to it, Willyum imme
diately grabbed the Tocksin of War and
unfuIled it to the breeze, having dun SO
he sed in low tense voise which imminated
frum sum where way down in his system
and emerged out frum under those whiskers
like an omnius warning, '.What Ho, you
would threaten us. Just lay the wait of
your finger on the toiIers of this country
for the purpose of boosting the Republican
party and discredditing our tariff bill and
I'll .ake you by the back of the neck and
