I can’t talk on the currency, nor on the revenue, An’ on the laws an’ statoots I’m as ignorant as you; An’ I jest simply promise you, sure’s I am Silas Brown, I’ll make things you sell go up, an’ things you buy come down. The fair ground echoed wide with cheers and loud huzzas thereat, For who can make a better scheme of statesmanship than that? An’ next week at the polls he beat his rival high and dry— But things we sell continue low, and things we buy are high.
