- We have received from the Nation
al Publishing Go, of Philadelphia a
copy of their new work giving a hist
DRY of the "Farmers War against Mon.
oplies," and of the "Rise and PROCESS
of the Order of the Patrons Of Hus
bandry.' The author treats at length
of the great railroad system of the
country, its growth, and its actual con
dition and prospects, end shows how
this vast power has become concentrat,
cd in the hands of a few corporations.
He dwells upon the evils resulting from
the false system of building railroads
in advance of the demand for them and
shows how the country has suffered
from reckless gambling in railroad
stocks which has prevailed during the
past few years. Passing from the Mon
opolists and their outrages, the author
takes up the cause Of the farmers and
gives us detailed statement of the evils
from which the farming class is suffer
ing. The work contains a detailed
and carefully prepared history ofthe
Order of Patrons of Husbandry, giving
a complete account if its objects, rules
and mode ofproeedure. The book is
well written, and, appearing as it does,
at an opportune time, it will attract
attention and meet with Already sale.
1t is sold by subscription, and agents
