What Stalks Behind,

Ex-senator John B. Henderson in his
|eech at Wilmington last night did well
recalling the real purport of populism
hat it stands for, and what in the event
its gaining ascendency in public affairs
policies would lead to.
Populism is trying to make of silver an
|tering wedge. 1t cares nothing about
|e white metal per Sc. 1t laughs in its
feve at the talk about money of redemp-
bn.' The only money that populism
buld have is fiat money. A dollar worth
! ly fifty three cents is too dear a dollar

detected by either OF the two money
etals. He takes up the silver cry be-
use that promises him an opening. If
can only get a start he fancies himself

Populism. it is to be recalled, was under

ght hope to stand without provoking
b much protest from his democratic sup

But populism abandoned nothing 1t held
to all of it's tenets, and it is holding on
them still. 1t awaits only an oppor-
pity to move to carry out everything
promised in its own name in the widest
irium of the Ocala period.
That populism fully trusts Mr.. Bryan
plain enough. 1t may hold some of his
nocratic advisers rather anxious1y under
strong glass, but it o. ks him at a
3nce. And why not? He has voted for

analysis would. if inaugurated. intro
