Meaning of Organism in American
Politics.

When the history of the last decade of
this century is finally written, Organism
will be recorded as ayiolent, infectious,
political disease, the product of regime
of unpatriotic, political charlatanry and
economic hypocrisy which Immediately
preceded it. Cleyelandism and Organism
will be recognized as parent and child.
The bold and audacious representation
OF industrial and fiscal data and the def
ant appeal to the spirit of national repudi-
alton, industrial disruption and social rev.
olution of Bryan in 500 was but the lit
eral translation OF the more pompous and
hypOcritical appeal of Mr.. Cleveland to
the revolutionary and mob spirit in 1883
and 1892. In 1894, the people voted down
Cleveandism; in 1896, they voted down
Organism; what may we expect in 1902
This will depend upon the wisdom of
the Republican party. This opportunity
and responsibility are theirs. If the par
ty puTSueS the narrow traditional course
and fails to deal with the problems out of
which this social discomfort has arisen. it
may expect to share the same fate and
regime of disintegration will set in. But
the hopeful eyes OF the American people
and to large extent of Christendom, are
upon the incoming administration. In
order to justify this hope (Which now car
ries with it large measure Of contidence),
two great classes of reforms will have
to be undertaken. One dealing with our
banking and fiscal institutions, so as to
afford better and cheaper financial accom-
mediation to the farming population; the
other, frankly applying the responsible
craftsmanship of the party to the labor
question, not merely as indirectly repre-
sented by capital, but as directly repre-
sented by the wage workers themselves.
Is the Republican party equal to the oc-
casion? From G unions Magazine, g.
