Complaint Of
King Cotton
King Cotton spoke with mournful
air, while seated on his fleecy
throne: ‘"My subjects drive me to
despair. I wish they’d learn to stand
alone. They lean on me for every
thing; and all their burdens I must
tote. Although I am a kindly king.
I vow there methods get my goat
Eac autumn, from my whitening
fields, I bring to them a goodly rent;
but little joy to them it yields be
cause the coin's already spent. They
buy on credit at the stores, most
everythng from pork to pills; to my
account they charge the score, and
I’m compelled to foot the bills.
Eggs, bacon, beans, or onion sets,
they buy them from the merchants’
shelves; and keep me loaded down
with debts for things they should
produce themselves. They spread my
credit out so thin it hurts my pres
tige and my fame. They play a game
that cannot win, and when they lose
I get the blame. If they would raise
a garden patch, and keep some pigs,
say three or four, the wolf would
not so often scratch tne varnish
from their kitchen door. If they
would keep a cow or two, some hens
of goodly ancestry, ’twould change
their pessimistic view, and greatly
ease the strain on me. I'm sure if
they would do their part to live at
home and board there, too, that I
could help them get a start and own
the comforts that are due. But when
they ask me to supply each want,
from soup to shingle-bob, I really
must confess that I feel hardly equal
to the job. If I were not compelled
to dig for things their garden should
produce, for products of the cow or
pig, the hen, the turkey or the
goose, then I could help them hoard
some dough, and slow but surely get
ahead, and all iny bounty would not
go to pay for horses that are dead ’4
