THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1904 COMPILED BY JAMES LANGLAND, M. A. ISSUED BY THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS COMPANY [Copyright, 1903, by The Chicago Daily News Co.] US 1007 3.10 AUG 11 191 In The Daily News Almanac and Year Book for 1904 considerable space has been devoted to information having a direct bearing upon the probable issues in the national political campaign of the year. An unusually complete list of the industrial trusts and local and "natural" monopolies in the United States is given and the more important antitrust laws, new and old, are printed in full, together with a table of tariff rates having particular reference to articles dealt in or produced by the great trusts, and a synopsis of the decision in the Northern Securities case. Statistics designed to be helpful in the discussion of the monetary, negro, immigration, labor and other questions of the day are also supplied. The popular and electoral vote for president since 1824 and the vote by counties in every state and territory in recent elections are given as usual. While particular attention has been paid to the needs of the voter, the chief purpose of this publication—namely, to be a useful book of reference for the public in general-has by no means been neglected. The statistical, chronological, historical and other information ordinarily found in works of this kind is given as completely and compactly as heretofore, and not a little new matter suggested by experience, or required by circumstances, has been added-without, however, increasing the size of the book. The effort has been to expand in variety of contents and not in mere bulk. The information in the volume, whether relating to national, state or local affairs, has been obtained as far as possible from official and other authoritative sources and is believed to be accurate and trustworthy.
