LAY FOR CABINET LOAFERS. (From Punch.]
Hark ! the Leaguers ring the tocsin, For competing grain and oxen ; ' Gainst Protectionist invaders Cobden cries, " To Arms, Tree Traders !" Peaceful Friends, who would not wish a Person drawn for the militia, To repel a French invasion — Take the field on this occuion. Bright, for unprotected corn, Blows the warlike bugle Tiorn ; Waves afloat the flag of battle For un taxed exotic cattle. And what cravens would not muster To preserve thiir p«any " bustw." (Twop'nny once) and clench their fistes, For cheap beef and moderate twistea ? Champions of the. scale called sliding, You will get a thorough hiding, If you at the next election _HflisLthe-Stindird_of_PrQtection.
