25-^ THE horse's kescue. 



But we see it's of no kind of use, they only grow more corrupt. 



Before you get us all in tlie poorhouse and prison pens, 



You will have to some of that money you stole from us spend. 



When a nation gets corrupted and rotten a the core. 



The people have no confidence, no safety any more. 



If you steer this fleet of our nation and keep it secure, 



You must keep all of the centers of this great republic pure, 



Then we can battle with outside corruption and keep it at bay: 



No stream can be kept pure when the fountain is corrupt ; it must be 



cleared away. 

 You have inoculated your poisonous venom all over our land, 

 And now you hang around the center to be fed in bands. 

 I see, now, business seems to take a little different course, 

 But it is no better; ii's going on from bad to worse. 

 It has the appearance as thougli they were going to disband now, 

 As all robbers do when they get in a row. 

 They are going to divide up ; of course they begin with the biggest 



thief. 

 That is General Grant; he is now their great robber chief. 

 Thirteen thousand dollars, five hundred a year, lie wants us bound; 

 That won't do; that's too much; there won't be enough to go 



around. 

 If you have started out on another damned robbing raid, 

 Do not be such a hog ; there will be thousands of others to be paid. 

 Mr. Grant, we will have you and your robbing band to know 

 On us you cannot rivet chains that gall and chafe us so. 

 This is just the way that damned salary grab was played. 

 And ail over our land beggars, paupers, and thieves it made. 

 If this great nation you are going to ruin and the spoils divide, 

 That is to be seen yec, you can tell better after you have tried. 

 Tt looks now as though that is what you are trying to do — 

 You and your damned selfish, thieving, robbing crew 

 If It is a division of all now that you are trying to make 

 A share of tliat we all have, and that we intend to take, 

 Tlie principle of this goverum.ent is equal rights to all mankind, 

 .\nd in that, too, we intend to have a share, you will find. 

 As for being made paupers and slaves by sucli as you. 

 That you and your damned robbing crew can never do. 

 On scientific principles by this government you was educated to fight, 

 And you have turned robber-chief, doing it in broad daylight.
