Congress and the People
|
SUCCESSIVE Congresses having greatly impoverished the People, they
were discouraged and wept copiously.
'Why do you weep?' inquired an Angel who had perched upon a fence
near by.
'They have taken all we have,' replied the People - 'excepting,'
they added, noting the suggestive visitant - 'excepting our hope in
heaven. Thank God, they cannot deprive us of that!'
But at last came the Congress of 1889.
