A Book for the People.

Senator Stewart has written a grand
book for the instruction of the masses.
The title chosen for the little volume is
Analysis of the Functions of Money!"
From Senator Stewards exhaustless store
OF knowledge on the science of money he
has placed in small volume of % pages,
a complete text of the money question, "
a question that is bound to overtop all
other political questions for the next
quarter of a century, if not longer. 1t is
a question which the American people
must study whether they wish to or no.
1t is the question which lies at the root of
every business in the universe, is the die
tator and shaper of present and future
civilization. 1t overtops State and church
holds society i'll the heart of its hand.
The following dedication of this little
volume furnishes an inkling of the
authors object and the bearing of the
contents. Every young man and woman
ought to read it.
DEDICATION.
This little volume is dedicated TO tbe voung
men and women of the United States who are con.
templating matrimony with its inevitable respon.
slollitles. The comforts of life with which the
young women of this country have been sur
rounded in the homes of their fathers built in the
better days of the Republic, cannot be provided
by the young men of the present day on account
OF the hard conditions which environ them. The
families and friends of young women oppose their
marriage with young men otherwise worthy, ON
account of the fear that it will be impossible for
the united efforts of both to save them from
poverty and want.
The author believes that careful study of this
DOCK viii enable the people, through the intel
gent exercise of the elective franchise to restore
the conditions enjoyed by former generations,
when happy homes were established throughout
our vast domain. If this can be accomplished
the barrier which fear o poverty has erected be-
tween the young men and women of the country
will be removed and the sacrament of marriage
will again promise happiness. prosperity and
progress. VIM. M. STEWART

the business The New-York steamship agents
represent companies in all parts Of the world.
A large share Of the business is necessarily car
ried on in vessels flying the British flag. but
there Is a tendency now to do considerable busi-
ness with Norwegian firms also. and British
built ships flying the Norwegian flag now carry
large quantities Of goods from this port. The
business OF the New-York agents is by
means confined to this port. but they do an ex-
tensive business from many other points. and
contract for freight not only from American
ports but from those of other lands.
They have facilities for transacting any
amount Of business in the shortest possible

GERS who are going out to the Lagos
HinterIaad are inclined to discredit the
news which reached Akassa yesterday,
to the effect that two French expedi-

which is within the British sphere of in

be confirmed it must be followed by q
declaration Of war.
