Has Created a sensation.

J. w. Shuckers, formerly private sec
rotary to Salmon p. Chase, has written
a book entitled THE Great Conspir-
acy," which is creating a sensation in
the East. 1t deals with the financial
question and seeks to expose the meth
DDS of few men who seek to control the
national banks of this country, and the
United States treasury as well. Mr..
Shuckers is not an advocate of free sill
yer: he writes as a friend of the great
majority of American bankers as
against a clique in Wall Street. The
story of the great conspiracy is told in a
series of letters to E. Cary Baird. of
Philadelphia. The book is published by
Hon. E. b. Light, secretary Of the Amer
lean Bimetallic Union, 134 Monroe St,
Chicago. Such a book should be read
by every American citizen. from the
national banker to the day laborer.
