Publishes a series of letters from the author to Charles Schwab who at this time was President of Bethlehem Steel seeking Schwab's support in implementing a sort of "maximum wage" scheme in the United States.

Kathrens professes his own sanity and good judgment frequently enough that our sympathies fall firmly on the side of Mr. Schwab. Includes a full reprint of Kathrens' earlier effort The Menace of the Millionaire and reprints other letters to and from Samuel Untermeyer and George W. Perkins. Burton Publishing Co unknown books

1785WRCLIT72914Dublin: Printed for Luke White 1785. 2ii200;24pp. plus errata slip affixed to title verso. Octavo. Extracted from nonce pamphlet volume. Modest tanning at edges and some dusting to title and terminal leaf two old stamps of a defunct mercantile library; a good copy. First Dublin edition this being ESTC's normal state of the title with '86' and 'His'. The concluding 24pp. are separately signed and paginated printing "A Bill for Effectuating the Intercourse and Commerce between Great Britain and Ireland ." ESTC suggests that the various London "editions" are likely related to the same setting as this printing. Woodfall "is said to have visited Dublin by invitation in 1784 to report the debates on the 'commercial propositions' Nichols Lit. Anecd. i. 303. His reporting was an effort of memory; he listened to a speech and then committed to paper a remarkably accurate version of it. His fame had preceded him and crowds followed him in the streets of Dublin because he was supposed to be 'endowed with supernatural powers.' Nichols records that Woodfall's report was printed and prepared for sale as a pamphlet and that 'not more than three copies were ever called for" - DNB. The last observation perhaps explains the efforts to market sheets under the London imprints although the extraordinary abundance of copies reported in OCLC suggests some measure of circulation occurred.
