Tho Free Coinage Problem.

The Free Coinage Problem is the
title of penny magazine or pamphlet
by Lewis N. Dembitz of Louisville, KY.
It contains one of the fairest and best
discussions of the money question to be
had at any price. 1t contains in very
brief space and in simple language as
much of the early history Of money,
especially in this country, as is neces-
sary to understand the present situa-
ton. 1t discusses in logical, unbiased
and impartial manner the probable ef-
fects Of the proposed free coinage legis
lation upon all classes, and especially
upon farmers and wage earners. 1t pre-.
sents vivid picture Of the present hard
lot of many farmers and shows what
kind of money will be for their best in
terests.
This little 4S page magazine contains
more of monetary history and facts and
more of sound argument than many
books which cost 100 times its price. 1t
makes it possible for any intelligent la
borer or farmer who can spare cent to
become we'll informed on the money
question before he casts his vote. Ten
or 10 copies can be ordered at once for
10 or 10 persons. Otherwise it will cost
cents to send cent. Address Present
