 438 Economists odicals were Fincher's Trades Review (Philadelphia) and the Workingmen' 5 Advocate (Chicago). The philosophy of the la- bour agitation was expounded by Ira Steward in The Eight Hour Movement (1865) and Poverty (1873); by William Dealtry in The Laborer (1869) ; and by E. H. Haywood in Yours and Mine (1869); while the Communist movement was best represented by Alexander Longley in The Communist (1868-79). During the early seventies there are to be noted H. B. Wright's Prac- tical Treatise on Labor (1871), W. Brown's The Labor Question (1872), W. B. Greene's Socialistic, Communistic, Mutualistic, and Financial Fragments (1875), and L. Masquerier's Sociology or The Reconstruction oj Society (1877). The tariff controversies elicited but few works of importance. In the earlier period, in the contest centring around the Bill of Abominations of 1828 and its immediate successors, we have to note, in addition to the works of Lee and Gallatin referred to above, T. R. Dew's Lectures on the Restrictive System (1829) and Hezeldah Niles's Journal oj the Meeting oj the Friends oj Domestic Industry (1813)). Perhaps the most outstanding fig- ure of this period was Condy Raguet, author of The Principles oj Free Trade (1835) and The Examiner and Journal oj Political Economy (1834-35). In the later period, immediately after the Civil War, we need mention only W. M. Grosvenor's Does Protection Protect? (1871) and the numerous publications of E. B. Bigelow. Much the same may be said about the controversies on the currency, which produced only a few works of more than pass- ing interest. Worthy of mention are E. Lord's Principles oj Cur- rency (1829), W. M. Gouge's A Short History oj Paper Money and Banking (1833) and The Fiscal History oj Texas (1852), W. Beck's Money and Banking (1839), R. Hildreth's Banks, Banking, and Paper Currencies (1840), and Dunscombe's Free Banking ( 1 84 1 ) . In the later period we may call attention to J. A. Ferris's The Financial Economy oj the United States (1867). This period is also marked by a more systematic study of statistics as evidenced by A. Russell's Principles oj Statistical Inquiry (1839), Professor G. Tucker's Progress oj the United States (1843), and J. D. B. De Bow's The Industrial Resources oj the Southern and Western States. In 1839, moreover, was founded the American Statistical Association, whose first sec-
