This is the title of a book of 222 pages, by Henry Wood. The body of it is excellently printed and well punctuated. Lee and Shepard, Boston, are the publishers. In sixteen chapters are discussed such topics as Labor, Supply, Poverty, Socialism (to which the author is opposed), Centralization (which he favors), State Arbitration (in which he does not greatly believe), Corporations (which he endorses), Crises, Capital. Mr. Wood expresses himself in distinct terms, and his illustrations are apt. He shows us that in this country all workers tend to become capitalists,—that is, to lay up money in banks or stocks; yet that not a tithe of our citizens are able to live on the income from their accumulations. He shows clearly the tyranny of most trade-unions, the general error of strikes, and the futility of all attempts to find royal roads to human equality.
The volume is issued at the low price of thirty cents, but special rates are offered to buyers who would like to circulate it for the stimulation of rational thought.
