Capitalism vs. Bolshevism

Boston: The Boston Commercial / Dukelow & Walker Co. Publishers. Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1919. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed and inscribed by author upon front free endpaper. "In these days when the extreme socialists, known there as the bolsheviki, are undertaking to force all Russians to accept their outrageous and impracticable social scheme by murdering those who disagree, and meanwhile dragging the whole population of Russia steadily downward from want to starvation; and when the propaganda of bolshevism is being carried on actively in this and every other country, it certainly is desirable that something be written and published which will make clear to the wage earner and the farmer, and also to the businessman and the capitalist, the nature and character of the so-called capitalistic system of industry. Capitalism is by far the most wonderful, astonishing and thrilling of all man's creations. The tens of millions of socialist and bolshevik publications that are being circulated every year have made a diseased state of mentality more or less prevalent to which the tonic of truth must be adminstered." - pages 2 and 5.
