is a fierce assault not only upon the
Aldrich plan, but upon all of the cor
porate interests Of the country, the
Ffmoney trust" and all Of its evil CON
comitants, aids, and branches: II goes
into questions very thoroughly. and
spares nothing in the way of invectiye,
direct assault, and suggestive innuendo.
The Illustrations are Of the same gon'
eral character as the book, direct, for
chile, and designed more for effect than
quite comparable to the Harvey book
mentioned, it Is not in the least likely
to obtain tho tremendous circulation
that was gained by that work AS a
vigorous polemic, however, it lacks
nothing, and very many no doubt will
enjoy reading 1t.
