Ciitzen's Atlas 0/ American Politics, 1789-1888. By Fletcher 

 W. He^-es. New York, Scribner. f°. §2. 

 This atlas is a campaign publication of peculiar interest, as it 

 gives a clear graphical insight into some of the questions at issue. 

 A number of maps show the comparative condition of the tariff, and 

 the wages of skilled and unskilled labor for any corresponding 

 period during the past forty years. Wages and cost of living are 

 compared, and import and export charts show the country's part 

 in the trade of the world. A large map is devoted to the produc- 

 tion of wool and the value of the total product of manufactures. 

 The latter maps are compiled from the returns of the Tenth Census, 

 and are very interesting. The distribution of the foreign-born 

 population receives special attention, one large map showing its 

 ratio to the total population, while four smaller maps show that of 

 the Germans, Irish, English, and Welsh, and of British Americans. 

 These charts have been taken from ' Scribner's Statistical Atlas of 

 the United States.' The first charts of the atlas represent the 

 political history of the country, giving at a smgle glance a view of 

 the supremacy of parties antl of the increase of the popular vote. 

 Another series of maps shows the history of presidential elections. 

 The atlas is of special interest at present, containing, as it does, 

 valuable and accurate information on some of the most important 

 questions to be decided by the imminent election.
