=Liberty=

NOT THE DAUGHTER BUT THE MOTHER OF ORDER

PROUDHON

PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

PIONEER ORGAN OF ANARCHISM IN AMERICA.

BENJ. R. TUCKER, EDITOR.

=Two Dollars a Year. Single Copies, Four Cents.=

* * * * *

A thoughtful, resolute, unique, uncompromising, unterrified, consistent, severely critical, able, fair, and honest exponent of the doctrine that Equal Liberty is the necessary basis of Social Harmony.

A journal edited to suit its editor, not its readers. If it suits its readers, so much the better.

=UNPARALLELED PREMIUMS.=

Every person sending $2 for a year's subscription to Liberty enjoys the privilege, while the subscription continues, of buying all books, periodicals, and stationery at wholesale prices. In April, 1893,

=One Subscriber Alone Saved $30.37=

by this privilege; very many subscribers save over $10 a year by it; nearly every subscriber saves more than the cost of subscription. This is the most valuable premium ever offered by a newspaper.

Every new subscriber agreeing to send $2, and mentioning this advertisement, will receive LIBERTY for a year, together with the above-named privilege, and an outright gift of the following books: MY UNCLE BENJAMIN, by Tillier, paper, 312 pages, retailing at 50 cents; THE RAG-PICKER OF PARIS, by Pyat, illustrated, paper, 325 pages, retailing at 50 cents; CHURCH AND STATE, by Tolstoi, paper, 169 pages, retailing at 25 cents; THE FRUITS OF CULTURE, by Tolstoi, paper, 185 pages, retailing at 25 cents; A TALE OF TWO CITIES (Dickens's greatest novel) and SKETCHES BY BOZ, paper, retailing at 25 cents. These are not cheap books. The type is large and the paper good.

The subscriber, if he prefers, may select, instead of the six volumes just mentioned, the following: SHAKSPERE'S COMPLETE WORKS, one volume, royal octavo, bound in extra cloth and stamped in gold, and EMERSON'S ESSAYS, first and second series, two volumes, 12 mo, cloth, in a box.

Every new subscriber agreeing to send $4, and mentioning this advertisement, will receive LIBERTY for a year, the wholesale-price privilege, and a set of

=THE COMPLETE WORKS OF CHARLES DICKENS,=

in Fifteen Volumes of 400 to 500 pages each, bound in cloth, stamped in gold and black, large type, good paper, 237 illustrations.

* * * * *

The books in each case will be sent by express, the subscriber to pay expressage. No advance remittance required, for, if desired, the goods will be sent C.O.D. But the subscriber is advised to remit in advance, as he will thus have to pay the express company only for carriage, and not its charge for collecting the bill.

=Safe Politics for Labor.=

"American Federation of Labor,} "New York, May 17, 1892. }

"Mr. J.W. Sullivan:

"DEAR SIR:--I have had the extreme pleasure of reading your book, 'Direct Legislation,' and beg to assure you that it made a deep impression upon my mind. The principles of the Initiative and Referendum so often proclaimed find sufficient elucidation in concise form. The facts that you have massed together of the practical application of these principles give the best evidence of thorough research and study. It is the first time that the labor reformers and thinkers generally have had this subject presented to them in so able and readable a manner. Every man who believes in minimizing the evil tendencies of politics as a trade or profession, cannot fail to be highly interested as well as pleased upon reading your book.
