Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Nonpartisan League: A Chapter in American Evolution One night in October, 1919, and I think it was the 19th of the month, five farmers dined at a restaurant in Washington, D. C. It was a good enough place, rather noted for moderate prices and a varied menu, which was why the farmers chose it. They ordered, with design, a dinner of staple viands, and, as it came to table, measured or weighed or closely estimated each dish; so much of bread, so much of potatoes, so much of butter, so much of meat, so much of sugar, and thus to the end. With paper and pencil they recorded each amount and, at current prices at the farm, the net sum the producer received for each dish they consumed. When all was done, they called for their bill. It was $11.95, exclusive of gratuities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
