THE TOPIC OF THE,ROUR.

Within the past year, aud espec-
tally within the past six months,
finance has taken, as a topic of
press discussion, the place occupi.
ed for several years past by the
tariff. Contradictory and irrecon.
cilable as are positions, complex
and confused as are the arguments,
of the political parties and leaders
Of the country upon the tariff
question. they are no less so upon
the question of finance. The great
political problem of the day in the
United States is The problem ofre.
forming the National currency.
The man or woman who pretends TO
be we'll informed will not be content
to learn the views IF few newspa-
pers only upon the financial and
other questions of the hour. but
will seek in some way to get q SUR
vey of the press discussion 10 all
parts Of the country and upon all
sides of the question at issue. There
is no way TO get such a survey ex-
ccpt by reading a journal that gives
extracts and condensed statements
from all the leading representative
papers and reviews. Such journ-
al is PUBLIC OPINION, publish ed
weekly at Washington, D. q. In
it's particular field it Is unique and
unriyaied. 1t covers the entire
rang of current news and comment,
political, sociological, financial,
scientific, religious, literary, both
