'Yer w^ill see that there is a "great . up-, .roar through the Dominion "about the birth-rate getting less and less every year, and fat coves yell why aint there more kids ?^ Yer will see by the daily papers (owned by the fat many that the employers can't get eMM labor. The employer he is as a rule, he is the cove that destroys the people. Look at the history of the employers and yer will find that it is infamotfs,- air the employer wants is .cheap labor and be dont care a damn, wiiere he gets it, and through the daily tripe papers lie lies even, like Ana-mas who as yer must, .know was the champion, liar of Jerusalem, aniti the country can go to. bell as long as he can steal the poorman's su-batiance. As I said before, the squeal about the declining birth-rate is all m my eye, Betty Martin. What about the. fat man? Does he make a large family? He do not do anything of the kind because he knows that if he did he would split up his money m small parts and the family loses its power (the laws ofentail will show this) . . So they wont beget cblldren themselves, but recommend worricking blokes and their wives to multiply and replenish tne earth. This disfaceful theory of the fat man is bringing < ... rfeh bad fruit. Young coves and their female cobbers go the whole hog. .They don't know that as soon as they have children that the -fat man says with ■&■ loud voice, what the, hell did these people get married for ? : Dp they expect me to keep their damned brats ? ' As old : Jake Duthie says when Ah was a young man dident I make the-frair fly ? The\ bosses wife says that, the whole of the evils of. the world is caused by the wealthy lower or-; ders putting on too much side. Holy Moses yer .cant hold. them. Yer will hear these male and female yelling that they cant get servants, although they have been* servants themselves .and. also their forbears. Well, perhaps it would be well to refer the whole job to Ginger, who is the chief blockhead of the Dominion and is howling that he wants to save the country under the nobody can do it but me act, while the whole push of the coves says .what a foojl is that joker, called Oin-^ ger. Did yer .ever know such a damnedfool ? And the doves says no. This oh^p puts on a lot 'of gutt, he sits 'm, & private office like a . Chinese, mandarin pretending, that he has whips of worri'ck to do, and' if yer go m he starts up on his hind legs and v roars what do yer want ? Yer see that I am a busy, cove and his aspect is so fierce that -many" chap's and theSr donahs run out of the premises.. Then Winger., puts his tongue m his cheek and laughs and puts .his heels on the fender. liy and live a mob: of. wowsers come m, then he (Ginger) straightens himself- up with a religious leer and bows himself to ,the earth. ' Then the wowsers say me man we are here m- the interests of the wow-, •ser and the no liquor, party so that we., can. 'knock hell out of the brewers, publicans, and . aiiy other coves that are agin us. .Now the bosses wife is, raging about Plunk's j wife. Plunk is only a flunkey to Sir Joseph Ward, and the notion of Plwnk's Wife putting on side is very repugnent to the . bosses wife, although • Plunk's wife has a'.lbt of kids, yet Plunk's wife has plenty of money and " servants. The money, as a matter of fact, is paid by the man with' the boyangs round their legs." Now leaving Plunk and -his missus on one side m <the meantime, yer will have noticed that a great political chap has come but for Parliament, ho less a cove than Jack Winder. -■ Winder ;is trying to foist himself on the electors of the east fpr what reason God only knows. The bosses/wife said to jne the other night in\ bed./* Jim ' listen to me. Here she chucked me under " the chin, also kissed me behind the cars. Dear JinfJ perhaps the reason that Winder, wants to get into Parliament is because >he- sells pots of a good quality. Well, after kissing her (the" bosses wife) I said my. dear yer' dont know anything about political ecoiiomyl How the devil should it give a cove a hold on the people because a cove sold a good pot ? My dear woman a pot aint a free pass to the affections of the community at large, although a pot is a very good thing m its way. Perhaps this joker Winder dont sell as good pots as old Jake Duthie, and Jake went- into the House because he sold pots of an extra fine quality. Just fancy a decent woman cooking some tucker for her kids. She puts the pot on the fire, then 'she puts m the food, when'lo and behold the bottom - of the pot ,drops. out; 7 then /the mother v says God damn. Mr Atkinson dont sell pots, he sells jaw, and at the present time he is laughing m his sleeve at the deplorable exhibition' ot the cove that sells pots yelling that he is a friend of the people. Well perhaps a joker that sells good pots has as good aright to sit m Parliament as the rest of the push, :because.,?a:' cove might do worse than sell a good pot. , JIM THE, MILKER.
