President John Smith, the Story o
aPoaceful Revolution.

President John Smith, or the Story of
sPeaceful Revolution.
"President John Smith" is the lit
erary sensation of the year. This
powerful political story is destined to
mark an epoch in the social and DO
litical history of the United States,
and to play an important part in shap-
ing thought and in moulding future
political action. 1t should and will be
read by every American citizen who
is interested in the great social and
political problems now pressing for
a solution.
The author, Frederick U. Adams, is
one of the most famous newspa per
writer's in the United States. Mr..
Adams wrote "President John Smith"
three years ago. He did not believe
that period ripe for its publica-
ton, and has patiently waited for the
development of events. The prophetic
chapters of "President John Smith"
is now read as history. Every i'm
portant forecast has been more than
realized. This book is a history of
the events which led to the election
of John Smith, plain American cit
izen-tO the presidency of the United
States. 1t is story of peaceful revo-
luton a tale of the triumph of the
majority after series of reverses. 1t
is plea for majority rule. 1t is a
scathing denunciation of the theory
held by DR.. Lyman Abbott and other
anarchists, that government does not
rest on the consent of the governed. It
is American in every paragraph and
line. 1t breathes the patriotism loftier
than the constitution and as broad as
the liberty inspired lines of the i'm
mortal Declaration of Independence.
In mechanical form the book is some
thing of novelty. The price of 25
cents for a new novel in paper covers
become pretty we'll established, and
recent competition among publishers
has been in the direction of giving
the bulkiest book possible for the
money. This has resulted in the use
Of inferior paper of dingy color and
too stiff to handle with comfort. The

WHAT Do THEY KNOW ABOUT IT?


All during the last campaign when
goldbugs and silver men were contest
ing the election, the goldbug organs
declared that just as soon as Mckinley
was elected (not inaugurated) good
times would come with great wave
of prosperity. Well, they didn't come.
Then the organs said, "just wait till
Mckinley is inaugurated." The peo-
pie waited, but that wave failed to
make schedule time. Now, the organs
say wait till the tariff is settled. Oh!
These organs, remember said the silver
agitation was the great cause of bust
ness depression when the financial
question was being discussed. Now
they never say word about the money
question. They got their gold stand
ard and promised great wave. Now
they are saying the tariff will bring
that wave. What do these gOld-bug
organs know about it anyway?

A LOUD TAP OF TINE BELL.

A Warning From Great Magazine Pub.
of Redemption Lives.
The "Review of Reviews" is one of
the largest and most widely circulated
magazines of the world. 1t is publish
ed in New York, and five years ago
appeared to take pleasure in slurring
at the Peoples Party, the Alliance and
everything else that opposed the exist
ing financial system and the results of
that system in the country. But it is
"nine days old at last" or it would
seem so by the following extract from
its columns:
We have fallen into vicious ruts in
the latter days. The expression of
honest and manly sentiments as re-
CARDS question like that of Cuba is
sneered at. The redemption of the
public must lie in the public opinion
of the West and South. The East has
fallen under the spell of money; and
even the pulpit takes it's tone largely
from those elders and vestrymen and
pillars of religion and philanthropy
who do business in Wall street. 1t is
a hard truth, and one shocking to the
sensibilities; but true it is, neverth-
less, that there is often more genuine
ring of patriotism and higher senti-
ment for national honor in Tammany
HalLitself than in Wan street. There
may be little choice between the men
who contribute the funds that keep our
politics rotten to the core, and the
men who receive the money. But the
practical politician of the machine
variety is, after all, better figure in
politics than the franchise grabber,
ribe-giver and deliberate corrup-
zionist, whose study is to break
down every vestige Of that personal
integrity that availed in the past to
protect public rights and the general
good against private greed. The head
OF the sugar trust while admitting that
his company had been accustomed to
4lake gifts to influence politics in VAR
bus States, testified that this vas
