"When prices fall below cost the load of debt can not be floated." Letters From Jimtown By WILLIAM DANA WILCOX. This book purports to be a series of letters from a Chicago journalist who is taking a vacation at his old home, Jimtown. These letters tell how the peop le of Jimtown were converted to silver by a series of speeches and curbstone arguments, all of which are faithfully reported. The book is illustrated with a dozen or more outline cuts, after the order of "Coin," and closes with what Is called "The Bimetallist's Creed." It will probably become very popular as a free silver text book.-Little Rock Press. . "Letters From Jimtown" is a new book just out, published by Charles H. Kerr & Co., 56 Fifth Av., Chicago, Ill., a copy of which has reached our desk. Its pages contain a knock-down argument and place the gold standard policy in a ridiculous position. We take this method of thanking the publishers for the welcome little book.-Our Populist. "Letters from Jimtown" presents the money question so plainly that even the simple minded can thoroughly comprehend the theories advocated. It Is written in a style that pleases the reader and deals especially with the doctrine of free coinage.--Texas Ipdeetndent. It handles the money question in a masterly manner and it is done in such a way as to be interesting in every letter. The writer of the letters visits, his old home in the country to regain his health. He describes to a chum the changes that have occurred since he formerly lived on a farm near Jimtown village. He gives the yield and prices of grain compared with former years and, the opinions of the farmers in regard to the causes of such change. Political' meetings are held and he reports the speakers. Tariff, gold basis, contraction'., "honest money," all come in for notice and each position is argued in earnest to. give all available argument in support of the position. The book is well writtta and it covers seemingly every argument put forth by the money sharks to de., ceive the people. It should be in every reform library.-Sledge IIammer, Me4 ville, Pa. !: Price 25 cents, postpaid. Address this office. WELLMA N'S EXCLUSIVE .... Paint, Oil, Varnis,., Wali Fap AND ....
