The Coming Age has already become
a great favorite in ten thousands of
the thoughtful homes i'll America.
Indeed, its rapid growth in public
favor is at first sight rather surpris-
ing when we remem Der that it devotes
its chief space to the thoughtful dis
cussion of serious and vital problems
of the hour and hence cannot be eX-
pected to appeal to the popular taste
which seeks entertainment rather
than instruction. Doubtless one rea-
son for the sue cess of the Coming
Age is found in it's diversity and the
wisdom displayed by the editors in
supplying interesting conversations.
biographical sketches, and liberal
amount of entertaining fiction. In
regard to the latter the Coming Age
for 1900 promises to be of special in-
terest. The January number opens
with a romance OF life and love by
Mrs. c. X. Reifsnider. entitled, Two
Hearts for One, " which is to be liber-
ally illustrated by character drawings
made by well known artist. This
story opens well and the editors an
nounce that it will be a novel of
strength and absorbing interest; "A
Modern Minister" Il novelette, by
George Sandford Eddy, also comes in
the January mum Der and will run for
the next three months. 1t is Il story
somewhat of the order of lin His
Steps" but is UNNECESSARILY stronger
and more finished than the latter.
The Coming Age for January is one
of the most attractive of the great
American monthlies.
La Lettre d'Amour is one of the
best love stories Richard Harding
Davis has written. The scene is laid
in London and the characters are a
beautiful American girl. her mother,
a wealthy young Harvard man, and a
violinist of the Hungarian orchestra.
The illustrations are by Howard
Chandler Christy. La Lettre glamour
is the leading story in the midwinter
fiction number of the Saturday
Evening Post, which will be on sale
Jan. %.

diminish by one-half the amount of
metallic money that the government
shall coin, and to deliver to the ma
tional banks the power and the duty
of supplying the main body of the
circulating medium of the country.
Now, it may be asked, what are the
national banks? What class of men
in the main dominate them? Who.
but the very financial magnates who
themselves form and conduct the
monopolistic combinations of capital
called trusts? If there were in exist
ence q directory of what we call
roughly trust magnates," and
it could be compared with list OF
the directors of the national banks in
the great financial centers it would be
found that the two bodies of men
were about one and the same. For
example, in the relations between Sec
rotary Gage and the National City
bank of New York, the real facts in
the case were that the secretary was
in direct communication with the
parent of all trusts, the Standard Oil
trust. and that situation exists prac-
tically throughout the entire list of
big banks.
The democratic attack on the repub-
lican currency plan is in itself an at
tack upon one of the most priced as
sets of the trust, and every democratic
attack on the trusts will be in no
slight degree an attack on republican
currency legislation. The two poll
cies 90 hand in hand. They cannot
be separated. 1t would be as hard to
make effective war upon the trusts
without striking down their control
of the circulating medium, a it
would have been, tor example, to have
taken Santiago without at the same
time capturing or destroying Ger
vera'S fleet.
