Show ; Original. . The Lost Silver Vote. t Air: Wearing of the Green -r. OhAttme lear, and wdid.you hpar,'jn Bill Bryan's lost the day; .McKinley has the country, and, Now K 11 is sure to sway. The tariff now will take a boom And prices go up higher, For poor men now there is no room, They cannot be the buyer, For money will become so scarce You'll never see a nickel, And living now will be a farce Oh, why are men so fickle? Free Silver now will never come, For Gold is all their greed; They do not want 16 to 1, That cannot be their creed. The golden Standard now bears sway, You cannot get another; Free Silver now must stay away, For that they'll surely smother, For Hanna wants the yellow stuff That is so nice and lite, But you know of that there's not enough To give each one a bite. Big corporations sure will boom Throughout our country, now; We'll have to go and use our loom And Spimvng gin, I vow, For, clothing, now, we'll buy no more . The cash we cannot get, But make our own, (we did before). And can again, you bet! And so McKinley and his crew May gather all their gold; We'll live and prosper, yes, 'tis true, After they've all gone cold. Silver Man. i |
