THE VANISHING FORCE
OF POPUliSM


The fact that less than 200 delegates
put in appearance at the national con
vention of the Populist party shows
convincingly how an ism" which at
one time doomed large on the political
horizon has dwindled to comparative
nothingness.
Populism was born of the hard
times following the depression of
1890. Its prophets were men like PEI
fer and Simpson of Kansas-croakers
who found it easy to spread discon-
tent among thousands who were then
brooding over business losses in gen
eral Socialists, who had hitherto
found nobody to listen to them, now
found large audiences when they be-
gan to talk Socialism under the name
of Popuiism, The creed of paternal-
ism rampant found new converts at a
time when widespread failure had
temporarily robbed many men of their
independence and their belief In their
ability to fight a mans fight and win
in the ultimate.
But with the return of prosperous
times the Socialists who masqueraded
under the guise of Populists found
their lean years at hand. PETER and
Simpson and other Populist leaders
went into retirement The last Pop
ulist member of congress took his
farewell of Washington months ago,
and 1t has been long since the Con
gressional Record has held Popullst
speech of discomfort. And today in
Kansas. the birthplace of Populism,
the farmers have no time to listen to
a Populist speaker unless he wants
to talk business at a prospective har-
vest hand at $3.50 per day and board.
The Populist convention of 1904
shows that Populism today is but the
shadow o. name. Nor is it likely
that at any future time of business re-
verses and bad crops the party of dis
content will ever spring into such
prominence. Hard times can only be
temporary in country of such pro
ductive power as America, but the
theories of Populism, one-half of
which are visionary and the other half
revolutionary. would speedily bring a
chaos from which there could be no
immediate recovery.
The few delegates to the national
convention at Springfield are said to
wear an air of discouragement," but
this will hardly spread Rather will
the remainder of the country regard
the slender attendance as one of the
most encouraging signs of the ultimate
triumph OF that great American attri-
butte known as horse sense The
smaller and more disorganized the
followers of the banner of Populism,
the greater cause for American self
congratulation.-Den Republican.
