THE ELEMENTS 



OF 



POLITICAL ECONOMY, 



By J. LAURENCE LAUGHLIN, Ph. D., 



ASSISTANT PEOFES8OE OF POLITICAL ECONOMY IN DARVAED UNIVEESITT. 



NATIONAL prosperity depends, in no slight degree, upon the 

 diffusion of satisfactory economic and political education ; and, if 

 properly presented, the average student in the high-school or 

 academy can intelligently cope with public questions and the 

 economic principles which underlie them. 



In this book the elementary principles of political economy 

 are presented in a plain and simple form. The main topics are 

 treated ; the fundamental principles are emphasized ; but no effort 

 is made to produce a detailed and exhaustive treatise ; Socialism, 

 Taxation, the National Debt, Free Trade and Protection, Bi- 

 metallism, United States Notes, Banking, the National Banking 

 System, the Labor Question, Co-operation, and other leading ques- 

 tions of the day are treated in a brief and simple manner.
