COINS NEW BOOK.
Willis j. Abbott, Chief of the Demo-
cratic National Committees Lit
erary Bureau, Reviews Coin
Oh Money. Trusts and
Imperialism"

About four years ago little book
issued modestly without any great
heralding or any of the puffery
through the literary press which is
enjoyed by writer's of romantic fiction
or doubtful verse, so seized upon
the minds of the American people
that it became perhaps the most
widely known book of the decade and
unquestionably the one which more
than all others influenced men in
their political action "Coin's Finan-
cial School, was the outgrowth of a
series of articles written by Mr. w.
II. Harvey for his little paper, Coin,
and was pushed by the Chicago In
ter Ocean at the time when that
paper had not discovered that in
order to be republican it must neces-
sarily also be the servitor of the
bankers 1t is hardly necessary now
to recount the tremendous success of
the book or to estimate the share it
had in awakening the people of the
United States to just comprehen
sion of the importance of the money
question in politics
After four years, during which
period he has at all times been labor
ing with voice and pen and organic
ing ability to fulfil the mission of 90,
Mr.. Harvey comes before the people
on the eve of a new presidential
campaign with new book-in the
familiar style of his former one, but
treating of the later though not
more important issues which have
sprung up since the time that Mr.
Bryan was defrauded of his election.
"Coin on Money, Trusts and I'M
perlalism, treats of at least one is
sue-imperialism- had not
raised its threatening head in '96
During that struggle, too, the trusts,
although offering a certain menace to
the well-being of the people, had not
developed into such startling proper
lions as they now present. To these
issues Coin, in his new series of lee
lures, devotes much of his attention,
but the old issue-the issue that will
arise perennially until out of the
the hands of favored class shall be
taken the priceless privilege of issu-
ing and controlling the money of the
people-engages his attention in the |
opening chapters of the book We /
do not think Mr. Harvey has ever
done anything so well as his dissec
ton of the privileges enjoyed and the
further ones demanded by the ma
tional bankers. In a clear and sim
pie style, using, as heretofore, the
the dialogue form, he discusses the |
demand of the banking class that it
shall be permitted to control the
money of the people and shows con-
clusively by figures, the authenticity
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 Spectator in land
who has contributed nothing to the
productive forces of the nation. Mr..
Harvey demonstrates this, though he
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1900-02-08

does not use this particular compari-
son, and | believe that his logic will
prove as irrefutable as his language
is simple and direct
To the question of trusts and i'm
perialism, questions which cannot
fail to be bitterly debated during the
campaign, the author has brought a
wealth of statistical material, re en-
forced by a clear and logical compre
hension of the problems they involve,
and | think the strength and value of
his discussions of these problems is
derived largely from the fact that he
approaches them not altogether from
the standpoint of the cold and insen-
safe political economist, but rather
from that of a man who puts into
his political beliefs and into his writ
ings that touch of heart, and of hu-
man sympathy, which made much of
the difference between Herbert Spen-
Ger and Henry George. | do believe
that great book on economies or
on any living and vital social prob
lem, can be written from the dry-as-
dust point of view Adam Smith
and Mill and j. Laurence Laughlin
may be necessary for the progress of
science, though in the case of the
latter | somewhat doubt it, but it is
not their type of writing which ac-
complishes great things which stir
the people, and which will be remem-
bered outside of academic halls or
musty libraries
In my opinion this new book of
Mr.. Harvey 's-notably better than
"Coin's Financial School" by its
thoroughly human treatment of the
questions of the campaign, deserves
and will attain popularity and
circulation quite commensurate with
his earlier one. 1t is, like that one,
cleverly illustrated by drawings
which enforce the teachings of the
text, and it gives certain up-to-
date and living interest by the en-
ployment of the names of we'll known
men in the course of the discussions
which it recounts, 1t is q book
which 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.

And no horse be at his side,

and there is in Paris a club of several
hundred members, fifty of whom are supposed to
possess a balloon, either exclusively or in part
nerShip with some else. At a meet few
weeks ago less than twentyseV balloons
took part and fourteen events were scheduled
1t thus appears that France not only leads the
world in the of automobiles. but also in
aerial navigation 1t Is worthy of note that the
president of the Aero Club the organization re-
ferred to- is the Count de Dion, who is at the
head of one of the great houses that manu-
facture horseless carriages.
Many of the races were for short distances.
and in order to equalize the conditions the
largest balloons were handicapped. That is to
say they were required to carry a certain
amount of marked ballast. and to produce the
same to the judges on their return. The longer
flights were made without any such restriction.
In the long distance contest two points We're
kept in view-the time duration of the voyage
and the number of miles traversed. One might
imagine that this latter would be altogether de-
pendent on the former. But inasmuch as the air
currents at different elevations often betray
marked inequalities of velocity, to say nothing
of direction, it would be possible for a man to
make the best record for distance. even though
he did not remain alOft the longest. Still, in the
present state of aeronautic science, this might
be more a matter of accident than design.

and stayed up about twenty hours.
De la Faulx had considerable quantity OF
ballast on hand when he finally descended
from which it would appear that he might have
continued the voyage; but he wanted to return
to Paris soon possible. for another con-
test. He had received notice that there might
be trouble about his passports in Poland. And
finally. he found himself in a region whose vast
forests lay before him, and few inhabited spots
and he anticipated delay and other difficulties
from that combination of circumstances. But
for these discouragements the Count might
have carried off the first honors. 1t should be
noted that both De Castillon and De la Vaulx
inflated their balloons with hydrogen. while
their rivals used only Illuminating gas.
