EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION
the nineteenth, century General Weaver
stood for more democracy ; he stood for pro-
hibition; he stood against the control of
government by the interests ; he favored the
direct election of United States Senators;
he favored the taxation of incomes; he
favored the construction of an isthmian
canal; he advocated monetary reform; he
proposed the establishment of a department
of labor ; and he saw clearly that militarism
was a policy for keeping the people in
subjection.
