forget to tell their hearers now the pas
sage of that bill brought on reduced
wages and general distress Throughout
the land. The following is instructive
on the condition of affairs in 1891, as it

at was bad stroke of politics, that
protection banquet which was given
in New York few evenings ago, where
500 'workingmen' sat down to dinner
which cost $40 a plate. Every article
used on the occasion was protected,
and several of the guests were men who
had been foremostsin the work of in
creasing the tariff in the interest OF
American labor We say it was bad
politics, for it has given the democratic
papers the opportunity which they
wanted of showing by practical illus
tration just what protection is doing
for the workingmen. Some of these ex-
hibitione are decidedly interesting, and
must cause those Who gave the banquet
to wish their foresight had been half as
good as their hindsight. The New York
World presents an instructive object
lesson by giving the tariff duty on
every article used at the banquet, near
ly all of which, of course, is ADDED to
the cost of the domestic production.
