Summary

[edit]
Description
English: John D. Rockefeller leads a group of men (labeled "CAPITALISM") as they sing a parody of "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" which glorifies graft and Standard Oil.
  • Caption: Our National Anthem -- As Sung in the "ROCKY" Mountains
"Standard Oil controls the Rocky Mountain Region. In the Coeur d' Alenes of North Idaho, the Federal Mining Co. has bought up all but a few mines. Who is the "Federal?" "Standard Oil." John D. Rockefeller
"Amalgamated Copper" owns Montana. Who is "Amalgamated Copper?" Standard Oil. John D.
Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. and the Smelter trust own Colorado. Who are they? "Standard Oil" Oily John D.
Union Pacific Railway Combine owns all the railroads from North Idaho to Colorado. Who is the U.P.? "Standard Oil" once more.
All the Capitalists in the Rockies sing to John D's patriotic leadership. If you don't choose to sing our tune of Graft, so much the worse for you. There are plenty of good singers beside you. Gooding, Borah, Smith, France, Dietrich – good singers all! How happy are we all!
