PoPULfsr DEVELOPMENT.

1t u . matter well known to all students
Of ethnology that 1t certain stages In the
development Of races from barbarism to
civilization similar mental characteristics
reveal themselves. There u . time Of
mere savagery when men live by hunting
and fishing; then the nomadic age; then
the agricultural and mechanical. There
are certain religious and philosophical
conceptions which correspond roughly to
these periods. There Is fetichism. then
polytheism, then monotheism. Philo-
sophicaily, there il what Comte calls the
theological. metaphysical and positive
stages. In the first stage men attribute
all phenomena to the direct will Of some
conscious being. In the second stage they
build up universe Of distractions with
little or no basis Of facts by merely specu-
lative deductions. In the third stage they
take nothing for granted. . priori, but test
every conception by the touchstone Of
carefully observed facts.
We refer to these matters for the pur-
pose of showing the stage Of political
growth which our friends, the Populists,
have reached.
The first and lowest stage 10 that In
which men seek to account for phenomena,
not by . reference to facts. but by the d.
rect will Of some person or persons. nat
ural or supernatural In one aspect Of
their financial reasonings the Pops have
reached this stage. for they account for
all adverse changes in monetary policy or
conditions by awful conspiracies among
"spooky" fellows called bankers. who ex-
ercise their will an dark and mysterious
ways producing the phenomena known as
depressions. by some sort OF black ait"
unknown to the general public.
But It would be unjust to say that they
had not. In some sense, reached the sec
ond or metaphysical stage. Their dark
and unfounded suspicion Of everything
doubtless belongs to the hrst stage. but
their plan to reform everybody and every
thing belongs to the second. They have
built up . universe of abstract schemes,
absolutely without investigation or ex-
pertinent. the practicability OF which Is
no more assured than the return Of Nam
sen from the north pole.
The third. or positive stage of mental
growth. they have yet to reach. Reason
Is pauser; he looks before ne leaps:
studies carefully what the past has been
before assuming TOO much for the future:
he knows that plausibilIty is not proof.
