currency into circulation is not ques-
ton that need be discussed as a nation
al issue. Avoid details, and hold to a
strictly general proposition. All inter-
ests in favor of more currency are
agreed on demanding $50 per capita
They can agree, it seems to us. on issu-
ing it to the states and leaving each
state to settle for itself the further
question of getting its share into circu-
lation- But we see no signs of agree
ment on any method by which the ma
tional government should put the
money into circulation. And an agree
ment must be made and cannot be made
too soon. So why not settle on the Ga
zette's proposition? A
There is nothing in the Gazette's
neutrality-suspicious. to interfere with any
state or territory adopting the sub
treasury or any other plan of protect
ing farmers from crop spectators and
getting currency into circulation as
needed. Each state could erect ware
houses for crop storage and loan or
otherwise use its proportion of cur
rency in whatever way its Legislature
provided and its supreme court APP
proved as constitutional The national
campaign should avoid rocks of discord-
We propose a national financial plank
on which all elements of the peoples
party movement can be harmonized in
a combined effort to get control
of the national government
That accomplished, reforms can
follow, but until then reform
is impossible. And harmonious,
united effort is Indispensable. United
effort can be had on the Gazette's mon
etary platform, and it will stand cam
paign discussion successfully. We began
to advocate the issuing of currency to
the states in 1876, and have seen no
reason to believe that any other
method of getting currency in circula-
ton, in not only the most advantageous
way to the people but in a way to
harmonic all Industrial and sectional
interests in support of the national
platform and ticket, will be found
equal to the simple proposition-issue
it to to the several states and territories
and leave details to them"

eliminated the idea of issuing money 70

1.-THE field is so diverse, however, that
nobody but man who has made q special
study of any given branch OF books can be-
gin to hunt for bargains. Why, when the
book sellers are so ignorant as TO sell rari-
ties for nothing how are amateur beginners
going to succeed without continuous studyt
Take, for instance, some Of my friends who
constitute what may call the Sag Harbor
colony, all Of whom are book collectors and
who each have different tastes / find that
all of those who come here in the summer
or who have homes here, such as Stedman
and Stoddard, who collect poetry, Judge
Charles P. DAILY and Du Chaillu, who go in
for voyages aud travels, Julian Hawthorne
and his brother in-law, George Parsons
Lathrop, who are belles-letters mer, Hell
mick, the artist, and Kemyss, the sculptor,
who want art books, each and all of these

that we know of has seen them for CEN
turtles. The first volume of which the type
was set up and printed on press on this
continent is as lost to collectors as Is the
first book printed in what is now the
United States. The man who can find
either of these will have in his possession
treasures that are worth thousands of dol
lars apiece. They are making great fuss
in London over the discovery of the Greek
text OF Aristotle's Constitution of Athens
and we had the original text in Spanish Of
the Columbus letter written up to death.
at the time Of the Brayton-Ives sale, but
these two volumes are of far greater inter-
est to me than either of those have last
named. Let is 60 over the story together.
before doing so, however, do we not
both agree on this. Is it not a fact that
volumes have been picked up for a compar-
alive song that are now worth hundreds
and thousands of dollarsa or course, you
say. Now, if it is the truth that Guten-
berg or Mazarin Bible is worth $l5, 900, or
q Columbus letter of some half a dozen
pages as much as $4,000, if it be the real
s'Spanish Letter." or first folio Shakes
peare, anywhere from 5000 to $1,000,
think we shall not quarrel when l insist
that book hunting can be not only made
profitable but interesting. Volumes are
hidden away In libraries In New England
and Latin America that might bring 8, 900
a page. Lucky the man then who can COM
bine both the knowledge and perseverance
TO discove the two volumes that IL is my
hope to personally lay my hands on. in some
out of the way hacienda in Mexico or
Spanish America, or perchance in an over
back New England farm house. But to
my story.

afterwards sold for s, 900. Imagine Quar-

this great piece of luck Of his rival. But
more interesting to Americans than either
of these individuals is, to my mind, the late
Henry Stevens, of Vermont, a ripe scholar
and book savant, who for years obtained
for the Astor and Lenox libraries nearly all
the treasures contained in them. Stevens
lived for years in London, and he showed
the English bookdealers, as well as the
