BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
The election of 1892 is described in the standard histories of the period, and especially well in Peck.
The rise and growth of the Populist movement resulted in a considerable literature of which the following are best: S.J. Buck, The Agrarian Crusade (1920), is founded on wide knowledge of the subject and contains bibliography; F.J. Turner in The Atlantic Monthly (Sept., 1896), gives a brief but keen account; other articles in periodicals are F.E. Haynes, in Quarterly Journal of Economics, X, 269, W.F. Mappin, in Political Science Quarterly, IV, 433, and F.B. Tracy, in Forum, XVI, 240; F.E. Haynes, Third Party Movements (1916), is detailed; M.S. Wildman, Money Inflation in the United States (1905), presents the psychological and economic basis of inflation; J.A. Woodburn, Political Parties and Party Problems (1914); F.L. Paxson, New Nation (1915).
Cleveland's administration is well discussed by D.R. Dewey, National Problems (1907), and by H.T. Peck, who also presents an unusual analysis of Cleveland in The Personal Equation (1898). The income tax is best handled by E.R.A. Seligman, The Income Tax (1914). Cleveland's own account of the chief difficulties of the administration are in his Presidential Problems.

[5] The sweeping reform order of Cleveland late in his second term illustrated the most common and effective method of making advance. Late in his administration the President adds to the classified service; his successor withdraws part of the additions, but more than makes up at the end of his term,—a sort of two steps forward and one backward process.
[6] Cleveland's second cabinet was composed of the following: W.Q. Gresham, Ill., Secretary of State; J.G. Carlisle, Ky., Secretary of the Treasury; D.S. Lamont, N.Y., Secretary of War; R.
