Author attribution based on the name attached to the "advertisement" at the end of the text. The premise of this screed would not be out of place in Karl Marx: the Civil War is being fought between "two systems of slavery armed for mutual extermination," one of Africans, the other an "Industrial despotism." The author sees hope in the establishment of a currency based on treasury notes rather than on gold and silver. (Inventory #: 4172)
