Excerpt from The Story of Money: A Science Hand-Book of Money Questions The writer of the chapters embraced in the present volume was not, in the eight years following the election of Harrison, a supporter of Harrison-McKinley Republicanism, but from the beginning of Mr. McKinley's presidency he has seen what seem to him steadily and broadly advancing grounds for the belief that in World-History no American ruler, not even Washington and Lincoln, will have a larger name or a more indelible record of honor than the sagacious, judicious, resolute administrator of national magistracy who came into power through the magnificent honest money campaign of 1896, and, under whom the New World Republic of Washington and Lincoln has slipped the anchor of early limitations to take her inevitable place as a Power second to none in the world. If in the first instance this volume shall help to make President McKinley our dependence for another four years of soundness in national finances, and of demonstration throughout the world of American quality in counsel and power in action, the chief aim of the writer will have been accomplished, yet with the hope and belief that through many years yet to come the book will direct the student to sound views of money and the voter to action at once honest and honorable.
