Belford"s Magazine
Edited by DONN PIATT.
A Magazine devoted to Politics, Poetry, General Literature, Science and Art.
Belford"s Magazine advocates the extinguishment of the surplus by a reduction of the present iniquitous and burdensome Tariff in the direction of Free-Trade or of a tariff for revenue purposes only; such reform to be effected in the interests of the farmers, the workingmen and the great ma.s.s of the population, as opposed to the manipulators of rings and trusts and other monopolists whom the present tariff enables to acc.u.mulate vast fortunes at the expense of the community.
The department of Fiction is exceptionally full. Instead of a serial story dragging its slow length through several months, and exhausting the patience of the reader, a complete novel is published, and each issue also contains one or more stories. In all the departments the very best talent has been enlisted.
