The Growth OF PopuI,sm.

The Chicago Times, instead OF be
coming a Peoples party paper, has
adopted the policy Of trying to get
the Democratic party to adopt the
Peoples party principles. it appears.
At the same time the paper continues
friendly to the party Of the people
and takes frequent occasion to tell
the truth about Populism, as in the
following paragraph taken from the
Times of November IA:
Perhaps after some of our esteem
ed contemporaries have quite finished
talking about the "decline of Popu.
lism," "the busting of the Populist
bubble and the like, they may have
time to note that the Peoples party
was the one party IN the late elections
which cast q larger vote than it polled
in the United States in 1892 Nearly
100000 Populist votes we're count
ed this year, while in 1892, with the
stimulus of presidential election,
only 1,O4l ,O2S were cast. Democratic
leaders and Democratic journals that
ignore these these significant tigurers
are guilty Of the most stupendous fol-
ly. There cannot be 100000 Popu-
list votes cast in 1896 and Demo-
cratic president elected, for Popu-
lism's later gains have been in Demo
cratic states. 1t is the part of wis
dom for Democrats to face this prob
lem fairly and seek to discover what
causes have driven these People 5
party voters from the ancient party
of the people. The Times has stead
lily held that were Democracy true to
its fundamental principles there would
be no room for a party of Populism.
Shall not wise Democrats then seek
these truths and maintain them, even
though by so doing they break def
nitely with the small section of the
party which has become corrupt by
aristocratic associations?

Tle Populists in Texas made Il
magnificent fight Though they dld
not carry the state, they showed a
strength that insures them that great
triumph at the next trial of forces.
They have gained half Il million votes
in the last two years. Their vote is
l5O, 900 or more, enough to carry any
ordianry state, but until the Populists
commenced work four years ago,
Texas was practically unanimous for
the Democracy, that party thinking
nothing of rolling up majority of
$50, 600 over the feeble Republican
opposition. The Texas Populists
never stop fighting, After elections
they take up where they left off and
keep on as if nothing had happened.
The great results of November 9th
are due to this wise policy of the
Populists in the Lone Star state.
