And" thought a continental war was just a lit
tle fun?
We sent our greatest generals and iur armies
in array.
And with Kintr Ceorge's edicts, supposed we'd
come to !-t;iy ;
Wltfi ten to one against you. and our coffers
full of oasli.
Our orders was to tie va up and well apply
t lie las.li.
We intended wo'.l to tan your hides until you
dare r.ot di.xl ey

we'd k away
To rereive tlm praises of oar Kin.; for sulnlu
mir yu so well ;
Uut instead of gett ng victory we rot a per
fect hell.
For. instead of Kins (Joorje spanking you up
on his royal kn'.
You g ive his Knlisii Maiesty the largest cup
oi tea
The world had ever thought of or nations ever
made
The one of l!oton llai'hor puts all others in
the shade.
Yon drove us down to York town and turned
the devil loose
I pon us; with your patriotism you completely
i-ooKed our gooe,
For Vashinutvu and Morgan, and Kichard
Henry Lee.
With your army and tho C'onre.-s made the
J iriti-b. low the knee.
bo we had to change our policy and try an
other plan.
For ihn Yankees licked the dovil out of every
Kngii.iii man.
And in de them all skodaiJle home, and glad
to get the rli:; nc.
Tolhetur.eofYaui.ee JJoodio back to Lng-
laud to dauce.
So w e ha 1 to sin a treaty an J be:; and pray
for j t a' e.
And make you lots of promises to get our-
elves leieased;
For we foun.l oat liuhthi;; wiih you wo were
left out in the cold.
So we had to try another scheme to rob you of
your koI 1.
Then we gave you lots of Mattery, and called
youourbit: rot her,
Ank mixed l.ombiid and Wall Stn ets till you
iul I not tell t!.em :rom each other.
And we gave yo.i banks of credit from your
!ebts to get relief.
So we brought vou into lon lage and robbod
you like a thief.
For you paid us for our credit, and mortgaged
u- j our land.
And poured your gold andj silver into Uncle
Johnny's hau:.
And let im appoint j onr President and dic
tate all your laws.
And we've uot you and your children fast be
tween the llon'a jaw.
Now. we thank you for your Uiudnoss, for
you've kept our royal blood
With plenty of money, and it's done us lota of
go d :
Ami hope th it you'll continue the old sj-Kteru
to ma ilt du.
For if yon hange your politics it will surely
give us pain.
For that cursed People's party have made up
their minds to stop
Jiving I onds to Kngl.tiid and their Interest to
orop:
And that would stop our H ilary and bring us
to a level
With all your working people, and would hurt
us like tho devil.
So please apply to Pullman, and Carnegie, and
the ret
Of Kngland's friends and servants, and try
and do your best
To .stop in h a catastrophe, that will surely
come ai on,
If the Kepubliran.s and Democrats don't keep
the People's party out.
Thos. Hull, in Farmers' Tribune.
How Can I'rftaperitjr C'otue?
Tho old party press and stumpers
are telling tho people that prosperity
i in sight.
How can prosperity come to this
conntry under present conditions?
In tile first placotLe administration
lias forced the old standard, and will
continao it during its incumbency.

ues to appreciate, au. I wages ami pro
duction to depreciate.
Prosperity never was known to
ooim to a couutrv uuiier these comli-
tioiis.
Then, how can prosperity come to a
conn try that is carrying 'a debt of c0,-
OUlhOlW.DlW, as tho 'interest in old on
this vast sum is moro than the country
can produce annually uuder the gold
standard system.
Js the country ex pec I oil to prosper
when it cannot produce enough to pay
the interest on its debts? Jt is folly
to talk of such a tiling.
Jf there was pleiitv of monev so bus
iness could forge ahead, and with that
would result proiitable production,
low interest, and the people could
gradually liquidate this debt and get
it oil" their shoulders; then there would
be some hope for a brighter future.
Until there is a reversal of the pres
ent financial j olicy there can come no
prosperity to this country. It is mit
worth while to vas;e breath talking
about good times. They absolulely
cannot come under present conditions.
There must be a change in the finan
cial olicy of the Government before a
change for the bet.'er can be looked for
in trade.
A fanner cannot prosper when t!iu
interest on tho mortgage covering his
farm amounts to more each year than
ho receives for his produce. This is
o plain that no one can fail to under
stand it. The same is true in the
country. If more money is called for
and taken out of the country than the
country can possibly produce, the de
ficiency must be met by tho contrac
tion of further indebtedness.

pros! erous times coming in the near

Tho oflicial count of the recent

can worry the life out of him by call
ing his attention to the fact that in
18'J2the total vote was 1:JU,031; this
year 107,018 S,0lB less votes in 181U
than in 18'.2. The Republican vote in
18'J2 was GT.'JOO; this year fi'J.OiU, an
increase of 1,104. The Demoreatie
vote in 18')2 was 0r,:?'J7; this year .'50,
i; 10, a decrease of 2.",;57. The Prohi
bition vole fell off from '.Til in lHiJ
to 2,42 this year, a decline of 1,270;
whilo the Populist vote grew from o,
00j to 4,8."K an increase of 1,80:3.
One Tiling at a lime.
Good advice to Populists is to let
everything alone but the money ijues
tion. That is the main question, tno
vital question, now before the conn I rv.
Men liidieieve in silver and Govern
ment issue of currency who also believe
in high tarilT, low tariff and no tariff.
Let them believe so it is their right,
and it doew not affect the financial
question. Leave the tariff strictly
alone. A man can be a Populist re
gardless of how he believes in tho tar
iff, and to run counter to his views on
the tariff is to run tho risk of losing
his vote for free silver. Tho leaders
of tho old parties realize this, and so
are pushing tho tariff to the front.
"One thing at a time," was Wendell
Phillips' advice to the Greenbackers
in 1878; it w&s good advice then and is
even better advice now. Let us heed
it. Let no Populist talk, write or

think anything but the money ques
tion. The People's party, champion
ing the j eoj le's cause, wants and
needs the -support of every man who
favors free silver, so let us do or say
nothing that might turn him away
from us. We can tackle the other
questions later on.
