This wonderful book is the sensation of the last decade of the nineteenth century, and is exerting a powerful influence in the battle of the people against the money power. It is the most timely and most original book which has ever come from the pen and brain of an American author. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. It will make you think. It will sweep the cobwebs out of your brain.
IT is an easy matter to “float with the tide,” but it takes courage, ability and unceasing industry to pull against the stream. In these degenerate times, when the book-stands and the publishing-houses are jammed with a class of literature that can only be characterized as abominable “rot,” it is refreshing to find one man who has the courage to publish reform works. The man thus alluded to is F. J. Schulte, of the Schulte Publishing Company, Chicago. At the risk of being ostracised by the aristocrats of the business world (for there is an aristocracy in business as well as in society) he has made a specialty of publishing what are known as reform works. Contrary, however, to the general rule in such cases, Mr. Schulte has made a remarkable success of his business venture. He has published some of the best-selling books ever put upon the market. We congratulate him and congratulate the reform movement on his good work, and hope it will continue.—S. F. Norton(1891).
