When BENJAMIN Franklin, in i7e4
went TO Philadelphia from London, he
found work as compositor in a printing
office. While setting up Woilaston's
Religion OF Nature he felt q revolt
against some Of the arguments. and
thcreupon wrote his own "Dissertation
on Liberty and Necessity. Pleasure and
Pain" Having written IL. he printed h
himself. He was then 10 years of age.
In after years Franklin regretted his
precocious efforts and suppressed or de-
strovcd most of the 100 copies OF tha
tract so thoroughly that only two sur.
vived, and one of these appeared up i'm
the recent HUH sale in London.
There is romance of book values.
About $50 the late Mr. Henry Stephens,
a London bookseller. bought this copy
for half crown. He offered il to the
British Museum az guinea 1t was re-
fused. He then tried two clients at five
guineas, but in vain Throwing il into
auction, he was rewarded with a bid of
ll9 glineas from the British Museum,
/ who, no doubt, IN the meantime had seen
a light. I'm the Hotten sale, in 1872, the
British Museum lost il again at y
pounds, and eventually the book joined
the Huth library.
At the recent auction sale, the son
OF the late Mr.. Stephens. remembering
the price which his father originally
had given for the book. called half
a crown" The next bid was the real
start. 800 pounds coming from Mr..
Quaritch's representative. On went
the duel between him and Mr. Henry
Stephens. With a big effort the form
er reached 1000 pounds. Mr..
Stephens added 8 pounds. an at the
enormous sum of 1,005 the more than
a sibyline survivor was his.
Mr.. Stephens was especially pleased
with his victory. because. as he point

Franklin relic was sold by him in the
Stephens-Franklin collection to the
government Of the United States in
1881. He then sold the collection (ii

Since 1895, the asraians have been
powerfully organized in the monster
"Bund der Landwirthe," Agricultural
bcague). This has 250000 members,
and II aims at debating a national pol
icy. Why, asked Riesser, do not bust
ness men. who are richer. more num-
erous, and more intellectual than the
agrarians, organize In the same effec-
tive way? And he demanded a union
under organization to be called the
"Hansa Bund.' after the famous
Hansaatic League OF the Middle Ages
Riesser succeeded The first vis-
bic result was a monster demonstra-
tion at Berlin, in which 5000 Of the
leaders of manufacturing. commerce,
and finance took part Equal rights

gan. Every one interested in busi-
ness WAS asked to join. The adver-
tisement given by the meeting was
supplemental by the untiring Herr
Riesser, who stumped the Fatherland
and implored Germans TO stand to-
gether against the agrarian aggressor.
The result came quickly. Within two
years the league counted I 500 branch
es and 100000 members.
/ The league began to exert its in
/ iuence in politics. To o'dominate poll
tics, reasoned Herr Riesser, business
