more dreadful in effect than has ever
been heretofore witnessed by mankind
the people Of these United States have

this extent our country has enjoyed the
comforts of prosperity

our State may not fail to appreciate
the blessings which they have received
from benevolent Providence and in

be following was pablished ia Plila.
paia newspapers during lhe Cleve.
land administration was carried in the
pocket wallet Of one Of our good friends.
How well remember iasht fall at the
rally,
I marched IN the line wid the work
ing-min sure,
An felt just as proud as a king at be-
holdin
The fall of the rich and the rise of the
poor.
Sure, that's what they tould me was
wint by the victory,
An no wonder was elated at that
AS I slipped to the music just like an
old soger,
An wore big roOshter on the top O.
me hat.
l envied the boss wild his riches and
comforts,
No share Of the profit I'd git if agin
l voted to keep up the tariff that only
Protected the bosses and bur1ened the
min.
All, sure, I'll get even now wild ye, my
honeys,
I'll vote just as sure as my name it is
Pat
For Grover, and thin, at the ratification,
I'll wear big rooshter on top O. me
hat
done It, bad luck to the day an the
hour,
I'd like to recall that same vote if
could
An once again hear the old shtame
whistle sound
That called me to work when times
they were good.
The boss he looks worried, the foreman
is sour,
The old mills deserted and goolmy at
that,
An all I have lift for my share of the
glory
Is the ould batthered rooshter wore
on me hat.
I mustered up courage one day to spake
to him,
An ask him how long we'd be IDLE
You see
The mill had been closed for a fortnight, |
and loafn'
Wild not cent coomin' was tellin' on
me.
He says to me, 'Pat, you and l will
both suffer;
Me bizness is crippled, me credis is
fiat,
But if yez get hungry, yez know" he
said slyly,
"Yez can ate the ould rooster yez
wore on your hat.''
So there's the whole story and non can
deny it,
The truth must be tOuld, though the
heavens should fall,
We made a mistake in defeatin' the
party
That gave US protection, good money
and all.
In two years from now yez may talk till
you're spachless,
An argify until you're as gray as a
rat,
But if that party again is triumphant,
The devil a rooshter yez'n see on me
hat.
