of any bookseller or of Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, who are large 

 importers of English books. It describes cooperative banking as it exists in 

 various countries of Europe.) 



The Tariff Question. 



It is a little curious, but it seems to be the fact that there is no strictly 

 modern, non-political, Americafi book, of moderate price, by an able man, which 

 takes the side of " Protection " in the tariff controversy. As stated elsewhere, 

 the non-political writers all seem to be free traders. A few such books which 

 have been written seem mostly out of print. The best I can find is the follow- 

 ing, written by an Englishman: — 



Sophisms of Free Trade. — By Sir John Bernard Byles. Henry Carey 

 Baird & Co., Philadelphia, 1884. Price, $1.25. 



A good book on the free trade side is — 



Protection, or Free Trade. — By Henry George. Doubleday & McClure 

 Co., New York. Price, $1.00; in paper, 25 cents. 



The Single Tax. 



The leading book favoring the single tax is, of course — 



Progress and Poverty. — By Henry George. Doubleday & McClure 

 Co., New York. Price, $1.00; paper, 25 cents. 



Another good book on the same side is — 



Natural Taxation.— By Thomas G. Shearman. Doubleday & McClure 

 Co., New York. Price, $1.00; paper, 25 cents. 



On the opposite side there is a great dearth of good books, although in this 

 case the great majority of the social and financial lights oppose the single tax. 

 Their utterances, however, must be mostly looked for in the periodical litera- 

 ture of a few years back, which is hardly accessible, except in public libraries. 

 "Property and Progress," by H. W. Mallock, is a reply to Mr. George, and 

 may be found in many libraries, but now seems to be out of print. Perhaps the 

 best " reply " in book form is that of the Duke of Argyle, which first appeared 

 in the nineteenth century for April, 1884, and is republished in this country, 

 by Mr. George's publishers, with Mr. George's rejoinder. The title of this 

 book is — 



The Land Question. — Doubleday & McClure Co., New York. Price, 

 $1.00; paper, 25 cents. 



Excellent books to read on the general subject of taxatit)n are: — 



Essays in Taxation.— By Prof. E. K. A. Scligman, The Macmillan Co., 

 New York. Price, $3.00. 



Also a smaller work — 



Equitable Taxation. — By Walter E. Weyl and others. T. Y. Crowell 

 & Co., New York, 1892. Price, 75 cents. 



Currency. 



The best book for popular reading, on the gold side of the money question, 

 is Some Facts about Money. By. Prof. J. Laurence Laughlin. The pub- 

 lishers of this book, however, are not now in business, and I can not find that 

 the book is in print. The following, however, will be found satisfactory : —
