Most of the Democrats and all of
the manufacturers of Europe seem to
be pleased with the Wilson-Under-Wood
Free Trade tariff.
The question is, will this country
profit by patronizing foreigners rath

Well, beloved, we have Woodrow
Wilson tariff now can you tell any

Most Democratic statesmen are all
right except their heads and they are
not responsible for them.
The Democrats have no use for the
"principles" they propound except to
gain votes, or they would have adop
ted the Gallinger amendment.
Every closed factory will be a mon
ument to Democratic folly and the
mill men declare that they will have
to look sharp or shut down.
Beloved, had you ever thoughTTto'

after strange Sgs?
Joe-save-us Daniels wants a U. S.
armor plant. The Y. J. thinks what
we need is more Grace and fewer

"Give the Devil an inch and he'll

free trader an inch and he'll run this
country square to the bow-wows.
As a cure for the high cost if-living,
Dr. Wiley advises eating less
meat and more cereal and cites the

The question is asked, What makes

It is pretty certain that neither of

used to sign the tariff bill.
We'd like for some Democrat to tell

The Yellow Jacket is the cheapest

Now that the tariff question is set-

The reason we are not expecting

law is because a foolish tariff revi

yet been a success.

If Democracy didn't intend to make
our country a dumpmsr erround for

our imports to increase into the hun

just like to hear some wise-acre Dem

r.Don't forget, beloved reader, as yon
journey along that the great seething
Lmess that is stirred up in New York
.involving those who' s control the
government of that state is -just an
other sample of the inefficiency and
incompetency of Democracy. It is
all about Democrats, by Democrats,
and the people have grown tired of
such business.
- Just as might have been expected,
the officials of the United States trea
sury, have begun declaring that there
is a probability that the new tariff
law will produce a serious deficit in
the treasury. In one particular of
the law it is said by Democrats that
it will result in a loss to ten mil
lions of dollars. Watch the chickens
come home to roost.
The Democratic Free Trade bill is
a law and still the price of living goes
bounding up. The meat packers are
now predicting dollar a pound steak.
Golly, what whopper lies these "low
er cost of living" Democrats did get
off on the country last year. It just
beats seven little Jbow-legged devils.
There are always plenty of politi
cians out on the stump who are wil

'Democratic Prayer
Our most excellent and renowned
Woodrow Wilson: As loyal mem
bers of the party that whooped and
voted for thee last November, we de
sire to bow down on our tummies
this morning and off er np our thanks
to thee as becomes good and faith
ful Democrats.
Most noble President, we are
mighty thankful that thou art safely
seated in the White House chair and
that it is our lot to be thy doo
dle bugs and swallow whatever thou
gives t us. We thank thee for not
sending us " down to Mexico to whip
them dadgasted Greasers. Master,
Wilson, it scares us nearly to death
to think of going to war. W? are
willing to let the Republicans fight
the Mexicans if they feel likeMt and
we will be content to lick the dad
basted Radicals at the ballot box by,
cheating them out of their votes. We
thank thee for causing our Congress
man to send us a package of turnip
seed last spring, altho the seed were
rotten and never came up. We thank
thee for not letting that comet hit
us. Master Wilson, we dread comets
and, ghosts and Radicals. They,
make us shaky in the knees every,
time we hear of them. We thank
thee for giving William Jennings
Bryan that twelve thousand dollar a
year job, altho that is not enough to
make him a living. We thank thee
for this nice weather during pea
picking time. We thank thee for the
fat possums this fall -and the big
j simmon crop.
juut, wonarous wooarow, we tnanK
thee more for Free Trade than any
thing else. It just looks like we do
not know how to thank thee enough
for this blessed Free Trade. We
thank thee almost as much for Free
Trade that thou hast given us as we
do for the postoffice that thou hast
promised to give us. That robber
tariff has been nearly killing us for
lo these many years. We -hateth
Protection as the Devil hates holy
water.- It was a breeder of trusts
and the trusts bled us almost to
death. But blessed day. No longer
will the trusts sap us and bleed us
and grind ns into the earth. We
shall stand back now ' and see Free
Trade smash the everlasting stuff
ing out of the greedy combines.
(Won't it be glorious" to sweeten our
hoddy with two cent sugar? We can
ilmost hear the cost of living , fall.
nd then we are told that the price
f wages will go up and living get
ower. Master Wilson, we bless thee
or these things. Who wouldn't be
hankf ul for a law that makes what
ve have to sell bring a good price
ind what we have to buy come way,
ow? Nothing but a Democratic law
could work such wonders as that.
Nobody but Democrats deserve to
pnjoy such blessings.
LMost excellent President, we can
lready tell a difference since Free
Trade began to work. Our corns
have ceased to hurt us as bad as
they used to do under Protection.
Our ingrowing toe nails -have quit
hurting us . and that tired
feeing . has nearly disappeared.
Our. wives don't scold us like they
did. Oar toddy tastes better sweet
ened with Free Trade sugar and it
makes us feel richer. We only wish
that thou could'st see thy way
clear to give us Free Lickker. We
would not ask thee for anything else
jif thou couldest only grantthat lit
tle boon.
Now, Mr. President, if thou canst
hurry up that postoffice matter a lit-
le we will be willing to forego get-
ing the free licker as we can send
few postage stamps to the mail,
rder house and buy a little booze
br snakebites and logrollings.
Most Excellent President, we have
eard that there are fifty-eight
housand postoffices in the United
States and we do earnestly plead
