Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from James Baird Weaver There is much inspiration in the career of General James B. Weaver, because in his day, when the world of politics "was changing and searching out a new orbit," he was a pioneer and a prophet. As a pioneer he gave expression to the thought and feeling of the agricultural West: he was, indeed, the exponent of the democracy of the West, and "the key to his position upon public policies is to be found in his persistent spirit of democracy." As a prophet General Weaver "voiced ideas and principles in Congress that were little regarded at the time. The contrast between the reception given his views in 1879 and the attitude of the two great parties in recent years towards social politics is the measure of the progress made in the intervening period. The pioneer of 1879 is now seen to have been a far-sighted leader" and prophet. The ultimate test of prevision is the record of fulfillment.
