=The Science of Legal Robbery.=
Miscalled the Science of Finance. By PERCY KINNAIRD. 12mo, 150 pages.
Paper, 25 cents.
This book reviews the innovations upon the financial system inaugurated
by the Constitutional fathers—some of them vicious innovations, and
others unavoidable through the legacy of economical errors left by the
financial pioneers of the infant republic. It shows logically and
conclusively that the legal-tender greenback money which took the place
of banished silver and gold money during the civil war (and of which
some $346,000,000 are still in existence) was not a “debt,” but a
privileged circulating medium, as much money as the metals which
preceded, and not any more essentially to be redeemed in anything than
gold itself. With the laborious research and close analysis of the
trained lawyer, the author has followed the financial legislation of
America from the Colonial fathers down. The subject of money is
discussed in the cold, calm light of pure science. Congressmen,
irrespective of party, may study its pages with profit. There is in it a
world of enlightenment to our lawmakers who are unbought and
conscientious. To the people of the United States, whether borrowers or
lenders of money, it is instructive; to the high school lad, studying
political economy and currency, it is a liberal education. No more
timely or useful contribution to the financial literature of the times
has yet appeared.

cover, 25 cents.
Over half a million copies of this wonderful book have been sold.
“It gives the principles of money in the form of a story so interesting

Economic Reform Society.
“No man or woman born will, after reading ‘Ten Men of Money Island,’
deny that the money it cost was well invested.”—_New York World._
=The Voter’s X-Rays.=
By CLARENCE T. ATKINSON. 12mo, 132 pages. Cloth, 75 cents; paper, 25
cents.

they exist to-day, and its whole tendency is toward the instruction of
the great mass of voters who have not the time to personally study the
many intricate details of American politics.”—_Burlington Gazette._
=A Tramp in Society.=
By ROBERT H. COWDREY. 12mo, 242 pages; paper cover, 25 cents.

much that is helpful and bettering to humanity.”—OPIE READ.
