The Popular Creed.

DIMES and dollars! dollars and dimes! An empty pocket's the worst of crimes! If a man is down, give him a thrust— Trample the beggar into the dust! Presumptuous poverty's quite appalling— Knock him over! kick him for falling! If a man is up, oh, lift him higher! Your soul's for sale, and he's a buyer! Dimes and dollars! dollars and dimes! An empty pocket's the worst of crimes!
