of the Social Democracy of America has formulated plans and methods for putting the ideas contained in this book into actual operation.
If one million working men would pay ten cents each into a fund to help such a plan, it would mean one hundred thousand dollars a month, or one million two hundred thousand dollars a year. If one hundred thousand should do so, it would mean one thousand dollars a month and one hundred and twenty thousand dollars a year. In five years, with judicious management and cautious expenditure of such funds, the results would be marvelous, especially as a dollar in the hands of co-operators would prove far more efficient than a dollar employed in the extravagant and wasteful channels of competition. Send a dollar for thirty-four sample copies and make thirty-four converts to the cause of reform.
Six cents will pay for “Merrie England,” a book of 190 pages, which has had a sale of 850,000 copies in England and has only begun to sell in America. It is a popular yet scientific statement of the principles of Socialism. It is addressed to the people who are prejudiced against anything of the kind. Get a man to read “Merrie England” and the book will do the rest. We mail two copies for 10 cents, twelve for 50 cents, twenty-five for $1.00, a hundred for $3.50.
Ten cents will pay for “President John Smith,” by Frederick Upham Adams, a book of 300 pages. It has passed through twenty-five editions in a year. It is a success because it points out practical methods for intelligent political action by which the people of the United States may take possession of the government and run it in their own interest. We mail a dozen copies for $1.00; fifty copies for $3.75.
Twenty-five cents will pay for any one of the following valuable books:
The Co-opolitan, by Zebina Forbush.
Evolutionary Politics, by Walter Thomas Mills.
Man or Dollar. Which? by a newspaper man.
From Earth’s Center, by S. Byron Welcome.
A Breed of Barren Metal, by J. W. Bennett.
