A PIG IN A POKE.
M
[According to the Standard, by the new Meat Inspection Law, just come
into force in the United States, American cattle and pigs for export to
England, France, or Germany, are to be inspected before leaving America,
with a view to removing the grounds of objection on the part of three
Governments to the unrestricted reception of these important American
exports. Should any foreign Government, fearful of pleuro-pneumonia or
trichinosis, refuse to trust to the infallibility of the American inspectors,
the President of the United States is authorised to retaliate by directing
that such products of such foreign State as he may deem proper shall be
excluded from importation to the United States.]
0 Senator Edmonds, of verdant Vermont,
Of wisdom you may be a marvellous font;
But you '11 hardly get John,—' tis too much of a joke !—
To buy in your fashion a Pig in a Poke;
"Which nobody can expect!
To slaughter your Cattle when reaching our shore,
You probably think is no end of a bore ;
But even your valiant Vermonters to please,
"We cannot afford to spread Cattle-disease,
Which nobody can desire.
A Yankee Inspector is all very fine,
But if pleuro-pneumonia crosses the line, jo-nce
And with Bull's bulls and heifers should play ap 5» aeu-
A Yankee Inspector won't be of much use,
"Which nobody can dispute.
A Yankee Inspector you seem to suppose is
A buckler and barrier against trichinosis; _
But trichina? pass without passports. Bacilli
And microbes that Yankee might miss willy-nilly,
Which nobody can deny.
Port-slaughter restrictions may limit your trade.
"Well, your Tariffs Protective to help us aren't made-,.
