performed by the brides pastor, Rev.

The PrOfteers

Wherever l may go these days, this
is the cry hear:
"That grasping fellow 'over there he
is proiteer."
/ asked the workman's view of it, he
gave me his idea:
"The man who sells the food" he
said, che is the profteer."
I asked the man who sells the food
Said he, "The farmers are the
brood"
| tried to scold the farmer but he
said, "You look'a here,
"The man who owns the factories, he
is the profteer."
I asked the manufacturer why all his
goods were dear;
He said, "Not |, but labor, is the real
profteer."
And so the circle was complete and
nothing could be done;
I found that l had finished up just
where had begun.
The workingman, the farmer and
producing financier,
They blame each other for the
blight,
wonder which of them is right,
And who in thunder is in fact the real
profiteer?
