Third Parties Perodical.
The activity of the insurgents
Jv recalls the fact that the history
of this county shows that about
every twenty years a third party
bulges into the political field.
Sometimes these parties are
ephermeral, but sometimes they
have lasting.effects. It has been j
■ btttt-Wtfle more than twenty {
years since the greenback party, t
with Weaver as its head, polled;,
more than a million votes. That j (
party was born of the hard times j j
that lasted for sevcval years af
ter the panic of 1873. However, ,
it left no impression upon the
country. As soon as the country ]
had recovered its equiblibrium it j
became numbered with other
movements of like character
?7>ihat had preceded it.
But how would a third party
affect the general situation,
which most disastrously of the
aid or regular parties? Would
it hurt the democrats more than
the republicans?
We believe not, for history al
so shows that, where third par
y tickets have been in the field,
he republicans party has suf
efed most. The democratic
>arty gained during the whole
ime green-backism raged, not
withstanding‘many of its adher
■nts became infected with its
leresies. It was the same as to
>opulism. Democracy was tri
umphant when populism was
■ampaint. Only when poulism
legan to wane did the democrat
c party begin to lose ground.—

\ Then came the populist party.

course of a few years, but its ef
: fects are shown in the democrat
ic party of today, which has ab
sorbed most, if not all, of its
• principal theories.
Will 1912, in the insurgent
movement, bear out this theory
