 discussed by Simon N. Patten. " True or False 

 Finance the Issue of 1888 " was anonymous, 

 and from J. B. Clark and F. H. Giddings we 

 have " The Modern Distributive Process." Of 

 books relating to the question of the tariff,

 United States." "Protection Echoes from the 

 Capitol " were edited by Thomas H. McKee, 

 Assistant Librarian of the United "States Sen- 

 ate, assisted by W. W. Curry ; and " Principles 

 of the Economic Philosophy of Society, Gov- 

 ernment, and Industry " were laid down by 

 Van Buren Denslow, with a leaning toward 

 protective doctrines in his treatment of the 

 last subject. Edward Everett Hale published 

 " Tom Torey's Tariff Talks," Richard T. Ely 

 "Problems of the Day," and Horace Castle 

 " The Doctrine of Protection to Domestic In- 

 dustries examined." " Is Protection a Ben- 

 efit ? " was asked by E. Taylor ; " The Relation 

 of the Tariff to Wages" was the work of Da-

 Religious Aspect of Evolution," a subject that 

 was also treated by Prof. Joseph Le Conte in 

 " Evolution and its Relation to Religious 

 Thought." "The Credentials of Science the 

 Warrant of Faith," was from the pen of Josiah 

 P. Cooke, and C. M. Stockvvell wrote on " The 

 Evolution of Immortality." " The Field-Iri-

 Creeds," by Arthur Went worth Eaton, was a 

 clear, concise exposition of " Historical Re-

 of the Old and New Testaments in the Light

 discussed " The Working Church." Vol. VI

 by Philip Schaff, D. D., was issued, covering
