NEW YORK MERCURY: Tom Reed
in his speech gave out the following
political conundrum: "If protection
tends to division of the wealth of
the country, why have the working
men voted the democratic ticket?''
He did not deign to even imply an
answer, but the Mercury will not
give it up. The ..why" is because
the workingman has found that pro-
lection does "not" tend to a division
of wealth. but concentrates it in the
keeping of few corporations and
individuals.
