The Coming Climax.

A most remarkable political bro
chure, affd one which promises to
create decided sensation, is now
in press for early issue by Charles
II. Kerr & Co., Of Chicago. The
author, Lester G. Hubbard, is editor
of the Farmers Voice, and stands
in the very front rank of the leaders
of the Peoples party, having been
recentlp chosen chairman of the
central executive committee for Hi
nois. The significance of the forth
coming pamphlet, which will be
entitled "The Coming Climax" lies
in the fact that it gives frank and
fearless summing up Of the elements
Of danger in the present political
and social conflict between pluto
Gratis and workers. 1t is addressed
to the people of cities, and embodies
a forcible, direct and definite state
ment of the claims of the new
party ON city people. This bro
chure will be the first step in the
organization of the Peoples party
in Chicago and other leading cities,
and it will doubtless be eagerly
sought for. 1t will appear as the
seventh number of Unity Library,
and will retail at fifty cents in paper
and dollar in cloth.

SCOTS Sub.Treasury.

The new book of lecturers, Scott
on the sub-treasury plan as endorsed
in the platform of the Peoples party
at Cincinnati, is complete and
wonderfully clear and comprehen
sive statement and argument. 1t is
certain to become the standard
work on that subject. Henceforth
no speaker or editor can afford to
discuss this question without first
giving this book careful perusal.
Bro. Scott is the best qualified man
in the states to present this subject
He has studied it in all it's phases,
and he writes honestly, calmly,
graphically and convincingly.
1t is a book for the multitude as
well as for the philosopher. 1t is
book that every one should read.
No one can afford not to read it.
The fact that as it's pages went to
press they passed under the eagle
eye of j. G. Hubbard adds immense
ly to it's value and will place its
utter reliability as to facts and
figures absolutely beyond a ques-
ton. 1t is the most valuable book
of the decade.
Well printed on good paper, over
one hundred pages, with diagrams
showing how to build, etc.
