 In the papers oft' we read where Monopoly, in greed, 
 
 Appropriates our public lands and mines, 
 
 And, not content with such, claim that you should 
 
 Get rich on digging coal at ninety cents a 
 
 Ton. Now, if that was all, we would not 
 
 Complain at all: but the worst, you will quickly 
 
 Own, has yet to come: They make laws to 
 
 Suit themselves, v^hile we must dig and 
 
 Delve' neath a Pinkerton assassin and 
 
 His gun. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 But if every man will contribute what he 
 Can — your good will is all that we request; 
 Just lend us your influence for one day 
 At the polls, and Monopoly will find its doom 
 At last. 
 
 When election day comes round, and politics 
 
 Is rife, you will find the politician 
 
 In the front. AVith his bewitching smile, 
 
 He will try you to beguile into his way of 
 
 Thinking for a drink. He will say: You 
 
 Know our man?- I suppose you vote for Sam? — 
 
 You should support the ticket as it goes; — Try 
 
 And get men in who have got lots of 
 
 Tin, for in politics poor people stand 
 
 No show.

 Wha( is Cleveland about ? " Turn the rascals 
 Out!" We hear this plaintive wail 
 On every hand, and, 'tis plain for to be 
 Seen, vampires are not all weaned who 
 Seek office in our wealth-producing land. 
 When the wage-workers throughout the realm 
 Realize their power, the world may well 
 Rejoice with me at last, — for class legislation 
 Will be known, from pole to pole, as a 
 Feature of the unforgotten past. 
 
 All honest Knights throughout the land are 
 
 Gaining every hour the esteem and confidence of weak I 
 
 Their watchword, Arbitration! is pleasing unto all — 
 
 It constitutes a jury in itself. Then, let 
 
 Every man contribute what he can — your good 
 
 Will is all that we request; just lend us 
 
 Your influence for one day at the polls, 
 
 And such rascals will go to jail at last.
