Them" said Mr.. Foster. The money
these gentlemen contribute Is used,
In part. In the Congressional Districts
to help In election and reelection
of protectionist congressman. There
has been for years a perfectly well un-
derstood compact, a bargain, a money
bargain. between the protected inter
ests and the Republican party. The
money the interests contribute to
the campaign fund Is expended for the
benefit and advantage Of the lawmak-
ers who write and enact Mckinley
bills and Dingley bills.
