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 mass of the population, as
opposed to the manipulators of rings and trusts and other monopolists
whom the present tariff enables to accumulate 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.
