How well.1 remember lasht fn.ll at the rally 1 marobed In the line witb the workin' min, anre. And uit just a.i proud as a kiug in behoulding The fall ol the rícb and the rise oL the poor. Sure that's what they told me was mint by the victory, And 110 wonder that 1 was elated at tlmt. As I stipped to the mnsic just likean okl soger. And wore a big rooshlcr oí i top u' me hut. I Invled the boss wld his riches and comforts, No Bhare of the proflta I'd git if agin I voted to kape np the tariff that onlv Protected the bouea anl burdened the min. Ah, gure I'U get even now wld ye, iny honeys, 111 vote Jast as sure as my name it is Pat, Kor Grover, and thin, at the ratlfioatlon, I'll wear a big rooshter on top o' me hut. I done it, bad luck to the dav an' the hour, I'd llketo recnll the sume vote ii I could. And once agin hear the auld sthame whistle Bounuln1 That called me to work when the times they were good. The boss he looks worrled, the fortman is sour The onld milis deserted and sloomy at that. And all I have lift for my sharo of the íílory Is the ould battered rooshter I woren me hat. I mustered up courage one day to sphake to him And ask liim how long we'd be idle. Yon see The mili had been closed for a fortnight.au' loan n' Wirt not aelut comiu' was tellln' on me. Heseitome," Pat youan' I will both suffer; Mc liizuos is crippled, me credit Is flat. lint if yei git hungry, yez kuow," he said slyiy. "Yez can ate the old rooshter ycz wore on your hat. So there's the whole story ,'and none can deuy it, The truth must be tould though the heavena ehould iiill. We made a mlshtake In defeating the party Thnt gave us protection, good mouey and' all. Iu four yeara from now yez mav" talk tiil An' argify till you're as gray as a rat, bet it' that party aniii is triumphaut The devil a rooshter you'll see on me hat.
