Fighting Plutocracy.

opposition to the currency plans of
President Mckinley and Secretary
Gage. This able magazine is now
the recognized leader in the fight
against the money power. "The
Wolcott Commission and It's Re.
sults' is the subject discussed by
Charles A. Towne, the brilliant
chairman of the Silver Republican
National Committee. He handles
Comptroller Eckels without gloves,
and charges him with dense ignor
ance on the subject under discus
sion. Mr.. Towne accuses the Re
publican party leaders with des-
picable duplicity and with the
betrayal of solemn pledges.
"The Menace of Plutocracy" is
discussed by Congressman NJ. w.
Howard, of Alabama. The article
is published in full on our second
page and speaks trumpet tongued
for itself.
twenty-five illustrations, includ-
ing several striking cartoons, are
