S. S. King was a member of the Kansas City, Kansas, Bar Association. King was an ardent Populist, and the pamphlet details the causes of the harm done working people (laborers and farmers) by the wealthier classes and the economic system. He includes statistics from the Census Bureau, as well as an appendix with voting statistics in Kansas in 1890 and 1891. King offers some suggestions for changes to aid working people. The page opposite the inside title page contains information about the People's Party of Kansas. The pamphlet was published by the Arena Publishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts, and several pages reference other populist publications, some of which were written by Kansas authors. The text is the same as item # 207835 but there are differences in the pages before and after the main text.
