P0PULIsT CAMPAIGN BOOK.
Devoted Entirely TO Currency-Large
Sized PretensIons

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is, 1S96-The Pop
ulist party Campaign handbook for 1896
has just appeared It is book of S1S
pages and differs from the handbooks of
the older political Organizations in that
it is devoted to the single subject of
money. The preface declares that eby a
careful reading of the book any intellf-
gent person can become thoroughly equip
ped to write, speak or act upon the most
vital subject now connected with practi-
cal human welfare and further that
the money question has now pretty clear
ly become d definite science. and the
book contains the most important data
relating to it with special reference. of
course, to the United States at this time
The book comprises thirty chapters,
with twelve appendices, the last of the
latter giving the money planks of po-
litical platforms running as far back as
1886 AS might have been expected. the
principal chapter in the book is devoted
to consideration of the Crime of 1873 =
under the title of characterization =
which runs through nearly one-third of
its pages. It goes into the history of
the legislation of that year, together with
that of the acts relating to the issues
of bonds thereto, to demonstrate that the
striking down of silver was part of long
conceived plan originating In Europe and
carried out in this country under the di-
rection of Senator Sherman. Much atten-
ton is paid to the bond sales of the pres
ent administration. which are treated by
the authors as conspiracy.
