A Better Financial System.

George C. Ward, the wellknown writer of the Populist and Labor platform has just published through the Arena Publishing Company, of Boston, a second edition of his timely and valuable book, “A Better Financial System: or Government Banks.” In this readable and instructive work, Mr. Ward demonstrates that every principle of the finance platform of the People’s Party, adopted in July, 1892, may be practically served and every demand realized by the nationalization of the banking system of the United States, and assumption, as a public function, of the banking business of the nation. A system of governmental banks which would be operated by the people, for the people, at cost, would materially aid the progress of civilization, by destroying and forever abolishing usury. It would rob money of its present terrible slave-making power. This book is one of the most admirable expositions of the financial situation, of the factors that are throwing the shadow of misery over the lives of the millions, that has appeared in print. The author is astrong, keen, logical, honest thinker and student, who has made thorough study of finance. This book contains a wonderful amount of information, condensed into a small compaw, and written in a

clear and forcible manner. “A Better Financial System” is a thought compelling book and we can supply it to our readers for 25 cents. See our book list.
