Messrs and Me6Iames P. L. Hall and E. O. Miller sure know Tell me not, that we grow dumber, as the days are passing by, for I wot that still we slumber, still delay the battle cry; ba'anced budgets are almighty, and admitting they're al righty, we would go without a nighty, in a case of do or die. But to make the balance nearer they have taxed us till it hurts, and tho things of life grow dearer, so we go without our shirts; now we find 'tis our election, that our money makes deflection, from the things that Luild complexion, be we sissies, be we nirt3. Things we used to think we need ed, now are done without in ease, we are used to being bleeded, by the Spenders, when they please; we, our selves are only kidding, for those named to do our bidding, all too often now are skidding, just to sail on placid seas. We shall rise up in our fury and some moment by and by, we shall be the judge and Jury, we shall pick the bed to lie; P.. F. C. doth not be friend us, 11. F. C. will never ler us, but it's spending sure will send us to the pauper's home to die. Shall we pay the bills forever, get ting nothing in return, shall we from our pleasures sever, as we watch our money burn; though we claim the deal is rotten, we are glad to dress in cotton, since we are the men for gotten, waiting for the worm to turn.
