About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1888. Paperback. 8vo. Wrappers. 15pp. Very good. Faint age toning only; strong single vertical fold (not weakened). A tight and nice first edition of this surprisingly neutral review of the main candidates -- incumbent Democrat Grover Cleveland and Republican challenger Benjamin Harrison -- and the major issues of the campaign, primarily the tariff reduction proposed by Cleveland. Harrison won, though Cleveland recaptured the presidency in 1892. Subtitled "A Repeal of Taxes Will Not Lessen the Price to the Consumer. Distribute the Surplus to the States and Relieve the Counties from the Assessment of Taxes for State Purposes. Promote Temperance by Enforcing the Practical Policy of High License and Local Option as Against the Barren Ideality of Prohition or Nothing." Uncommon and in fairly nice condition given the low-quality stock.
