the eve OF the new presidential cam
oa!gn with rev book-in the familiar
style OF his former one, but treating
o. the later. though not more import
ant, issues which have sprung up since
the time that Mr.. Bryan was defrauded
OF his election. Coin on Money,
Trusts and Imperialism" treats OF al
least one Observation-Disclosures
had not raised its threatening head
in go. During that struggle, too. the
trusts. though already Offering a GER
tain menace to the well-being of the
people. had not developed into such
startling proportions as they now pre-
sent To these issues Coin, in his new
series OF lectures. devotes much of his
attention. but the old issue-the issue
that will arise perennially until out of
the hands of a favored class shall be
taken the priceless privilege Of issuing
and controlling the money OF the peo-
ple-engages his attention in the open
ing chapters Of the book. do not
think that Mr.. Harvey has ever done
anything so well as his dissection of
the privileges enjoyed and the further
ones demanded by the national bank
ers. In clear and simple style. using
as heretofore the dialogue form, he
discusses the demand OF the banking
class that it shall be permitted to con-
troll the money OF the people, and
shows conclusively by figures. the au-
thenticity of which cannot be disputed.
how enormous are the profits they now
derive and hope to continue to draw
from their monopoly. The profit OF
the dealer in money is the "unearned
increment" no less certainly than is
the profit Of the speculator in land who
has contributed nothing to the produc-
tive forces of the nation. Mr. Harvey
demonstrates this. though he does not
use this particular COMPARISON. and
believe that his logic will prove as ir-
REPUTABLE as his language is simple and
direct.
In my opinion. this new book Of Mr..
Harvey's-notably better than Coins
Financial School"-by its thoroughly
human treatment of the questions CT
the campaign, deserves and will attain
a popularity and a circulation quite
commensurate with his earlier one.
II Is. like that one. cleyerly illustrated
by drawings which enforce the teach
ings Of the text, and is given a certain
up-to-date and living interest by the
employment OF the names OF we'll

cussions which it recounts. II is q
book that will be read by the millions,
and will be a most potent weapon in
the hands Of the people for their de-
Tense against privileged classes.
