"We'll protect our land from demagogue and spoiler!" No "crown oL thorns" is nceded to advance this sácred cause, No "cross of gold" is raised aloft to win the mob'B applause. These aerrled ranks depend ou trnth and nature's olmngeless huvs To redeem the land and elévate the toiler. Proteetion's beacon fires lllume the country far and ide. The patrlot's torch is Iiglited, and no sllver cloud can indo Tlie swelling of tlie human sea, the rolling of the tide That bears protection's Champion on lo glory. Tho whisperlng plnes of Maine have sent the message to the West Aud California, listening, has bowed ter golden civt To hiin wlio claims for workingmen the first rewaid and best And deceives them not with rainbow plcdge and story. All hall the soldier statesman, base repudlatlon's foe! All hall bis viliaut followers, who forth to battle go, To fight 'gaftist fraud and folly, for surcc.ise of human woe And io keep intact the nation's faitli auid fc'lory : San Francisco, Aug 5.
