Description
Philadelphia: J.R. Chandler, 1862. Very Good. Title continues: "The duty of government to give remunerative employment to the returned volunteers when peace shall have disarmed treason. A little work devoted to the General Interest, and dedicated to Misfortune." 25cm, 32 pages. Printed wraps, with mechanical illustration of an innovative rail car on lower wrap. 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.
