A BATTLE CALL.
Men of toil 3 will ye sell Rights your fathers bought so dear ? Will ye wear the manacle And submit to craven fear ? Rather spurn the chain, and b,e Faithful sons of Liberty. i Your brave sires through fire and flood Marched for you in days of oljd. Will not we for manhood'e good Be as stalwartj true and bold? Scorn the thought of bribes and be Faithful eons of Liberty. The toilers' greatest, meanest foes Make their watchword power and pelf, And their country's weal oppose For aggrandisement of self. Thwart their hopes and loyal he, Strong to strike for Equity. Great the issue of the fight, Up and man you for the fray. Our long-standing wrongs to right. For y.e thus shall clear the way For the great r.eforms to be .Honest pay, progress and ,true liberty. (Slightly altered from a Home paper. J. Grey, Rotherham.)
