ON TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

HOW THE ONE FOSTERS THE OTHER. That Awful Italance of Trade—Our Tribute to the Sugar Kellner* —What Make* Wheat and Cotton Cheap—Wonders of Annexation. The Ruling l'assiou Strong In Death. Governor McKinley in his; first speech since the presidential election, at Columbus, Ohio, said : “The great policy of protection is the true policy.” “The wool growers have had it their own way ever since 1867.” “You are entitled to the highest protection. ” “I do not believe in free raw material.” Bravo, McKinley! you are a brick; A regular right down stunner! you’ll spike your guns and sink the ship. But never turn a runner. Whilst you your party represent, We’re sure to stand In winner. You’re just the sort as won’t repent. An unregenerate sluner. There's no mistaking where you stand, Nor what you’re after neither. Mulct every laborer in the land. And wouldn’t blush much either. I thought as how you might have learnt A little moderation, Seeing your fingers you have burnt In fooling with the nation. But no! .you’re just the same old man, And nothing will content ye, But squeezing all you ever can. To give to them with plenty. “Nothing forget and nothing learn” Is the motto of your party, And that’s what makes us chaps, what earn Our living, hate you hearty. ►-Jack Plain, In American Industries.
