Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rhyme and Reason John Jones. Ah, Judge, a fine morning! Yes, out for a walk too, And just now was wishing for some one to talk to. Fine lot? You are right; and I safely may say ´Twill he doubled in value a year from to-day, For Washington´s steadily growing, you know, Even now, though hard times make development slow: But business is bound to recover, and then You´ll see the whole city just booming again. It must, for the nation´s behind it; and yet It is equally true, as we should not forget - Though a quite paradoxical observation - The city is still behind the nation, And therefore it clearly must advance To its proper place when it gets a chance. That lot? You´re too late: it was recently sold To a friend of mine here, who proposes to hold Till he´s able to build, if he don´t lose his place In the Treasury. Oh, what a shame and disgrace To our nation it is that so good men as he So wholly and always uncertain must be About their positions! Why, every mere clerk Ought to know that he´s safe while he´s doing good work. And hundreds, yes, thousands - that´s none too large - Would buy property here but for fear of discharge. And so for the spoils system here we do penance By making a city of landlords and tenants, Instead of what otherwise ´twould become, A city where every man owns his home.
