Adopted al trts Omaha. Convention Free Silver, Government Railroads and tho Land for Actual Settlers. The nomination of General James B. Weaver for president of tho United States by the Omaha couvoution was natural, for General Weaver has been the foremost man connected with the j movement. His reputation is national, l. 1 V 1 t . . V . . ivi uu uas utrcu urium mu ciumry tu the people's champion for over ten years. His memorable ngitation for cheap money while the nominee of the Green back party in 1SS0 will be recalled by every voter. His remarkable record in congress, where, single handed, he compelled the two parties in control of the lower house to recognize his principles, and his val- J. B. WEAVER, iantand successful attack on the Public Land Strip is known to all who have fol lowed tho actions of congress for tho past twelve years. - His national canvas in 1SS0 demon strated that he is a speaker and writer of a very high order. . General Weaver's strong point is that he places principle above party disci pline: that is the reason why ho ap peared in congress first as a Republican, later as a Democrat and for the third time as a third party or Greenback ad vocate. General Weaver was born fifty-sis years ago in Dayton. 0. where he was educated in the public schools, lie was graduated in 1854 from the law school of the University of Ohio at Cincinnati. He practiced law after being admitted to the bar until the breaking out of the civil war in 1SG1. when he enlisted as a private in the Second Iowa infantry, having removed from Ohio soon after his admission to the bar cf his nativo state. Successive promotions for gallant con duct found him in 1864 brevetted briga dier general. Since the war he has drafted into journalism and is at present ciiilor of the Iowa Tribune in Des Moines. General Weaver first held oGco in 16U3, when he was elected district attor ney of the Second judicial district of th state. The next year he was appointed to the revenue servioo by President Johnson. His national career began in the Forty-sixth congress, to which he was elect ed after a brilliant campaign. Ho r appeared in the Forty-ninth congress, and was re-elected to tho Fiftieth con gress. It wa3 in the latter body, in the year 1S87, fliat General Weaver held the house in his famous deadlock. His superior qualities made it easy for him to compel a hearing snch as would have taken a lesser man many terms to gain. Every device was resorted to by the congressional upholders of the x-oxrn to suppress the member from Iowa, but his resources were limitless, and diecw eions upon finance resulted . which at tracted the attention of the whole na tion and opened the eyes of hundreds of thousands of voters to the vicionsneas of the existing financial system. It mnst not bo forgotten that General Weaver left a lucrative and growing practice at the bar to engage'in the nnremunerstive pioneer work of r reform. Ho has never flagged in his courser and stands today the champion of a new order of things.; The dominant desire of his lue is to assist in creating conditions under which the struggle for existence for the major ity may be lightened. ' He is a respected and admired authority.cn various prob lems of industrial reform, and has writ ten several bockr that are standard in their treatment of theso vital subjects. Hi unquestioned popularity makes him a formidable candidate or tho other parties. James G. Fields, the candidate for vice president of the People's party, is not an unknown man. ' For thirty years he has been a lawyer of considerable prominence in Virginia, his native state; He is known throughout the country as a prominent Baptist, having been iden tified with that denomination for nearly fifty years, During that time he has held . several important, offices . in the S'oiloh Baptist association and was for several yean its moderator. ; Ha has meetings of tho denomination. His pop ularity in his native state may bo judged from tho fact that ho was elected attor ney general on tho state ticket without any opposition, tho other party declin ing to put a candidate in the field against him. He was born Feb. 24. 1S20, in Cul peper county, Va., and there grew to manhood. He was trained for the law, which has, been his life profession, and at an early age' ho went into politics. Of conrso ho was a Democrat. Ho has held two offices. In 1S59 ho was ap pointed the commonwealth's attorney for Culpeper cqunty, and in 1877 he was appointed by the govornor to fill an unexpired term as attorney general for the state Of Virginia. He was elected to that ofiice in November of 1877 for a fall term of four years ending with 1SS1. Ho enlisted in the Confederate army on April 17, 1861, resigning his position as county attorney for that purposo. He was one of the fainons Cnlpeper minute men who carried a banner with a coiled rattlesnake for a devico and "Don't tread on mo" for a motto. Ho was one of tho raiders who captured Harper's Ferry, and was after that pro moted from the ranks to a ninjorship in tho Virginia forces. When General A. P. Hill took command of those forces Major Fields was assigned to his staff. Except when incapacitated by wounds he was continuously in the service from tho beginning of tho war until tho sur render at Appomattox, retiring with a general's commission. He was wounded at tho first bat do of Cold Harbor, and at tho engagement known by the nana of Cedar Creek in tho north and Slaugh ter Mountain in tho south he lost his right leg below the knee. He was un fitted for service for several months, but in May, 1SC3, rejoined tho army at Fredericksburg in time to take part in the campaign which resulted in the bat tle of Gettysburg. For many years past General Fields has owned and tilled a considerable es tate in Albcinarlo county, Va., besidps attending to a large legal practice. For the past seven years ho has favored the formation of a new party to purify poli tico. Since 1SS3 he has proclaimed throughout Virginia that redress for the grievances of the people could only to had through a reform organisation. lie holds that the influence of the party caucus has grown superior to tho will of tho constituents of tho party, and there fore nn-.riso legislation can neither be repealed nor prevented, thereforo a new party is a necessity. A MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE. Beaolntlona Adopted by the National Committe AdTlslng Meelln;. At their meeting in Omaha July 6 th People's national committee aloptcd the following: Resolved.

And we enfrgeM Ibat on sold lfith day of An cast thapeoplo devote the ay lo this (Treat son tlh speeches u4 festivities. And we further request that at each of such meet i ncs a finance. committee shall be appointed whose duty it shall be to make a thorough canvass o( tho township or precinct for contributions. And In addition to the above method of rais ing, mouey wo hereby establish four funds, to be known as the ton dollar campaign fund." the '(lve dollar campaign fund." the "one dot lar CHtspnii fund" and the "fifty cent cam paign fund.' and we request that all friends of the cue who aro able to do so will send their Domes and contributions directly to our lros-V nrcr, to be published in tho reform press ol their respective states, providing contributors to these funds shall be allowed. If thoy desire to do so, to pay In monthly installments. We also urge that every sneakor for the People's imrty shall take up collections for onr national campaign fund wherever tlicy may address the people. We would also urgo IhM the Indies who i f In sympathy with tbe People's party in tho re spective states shall be arged and requested by the reform press to form clubs for the collec tion of funds and the forwarding of our wok. The national committee of the People's party say to their friends that there is a reasonable probability that the party will see to the country a&d elect their cnudldates for pi ext. dent and vice president If they ore given meant cunugh to put speakers in tho field and supply the people with campaign literature. The Place for Jaeksonian Democrats. Every true Jocksonian Democrat will Bupport the People's party. - All his life Tackson fought the United States banks the national banks as centers of cor ruption, as British institutions, as ever dangerous to liberty and equality. The People's party is now doing the same. Our national banks are centers and sources of universal corruption. They are the invention of London Jew bank ers, and they are the subtlest foes of free dom. Tbey must perish or the people must perish. We must cut down these deadly upas trees or die. They are fes tering sores on the body politic. They are horriblo cancers. Tho great secre tary of the treasury. Chose, never ceased to regret that he had been instrumental in establishing them. The good old Jacksoniun Democrats naturally belong to tho party that promises to destroy all special privileges. Topeku Topics. "III Fares the Lund." Tho concentration of wealth in tho hands of a few is n source of weakness rather than strength in onr government. Tho safety of tho republic is anchored in the homes of the people.

The Grandest of Modern Times' Tho Second "Declara tion of Independence." PLATFORM OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. A Terso and Comprehensive Declaration or Vital Principles. The People's party nsHornblod in na tional convention ut Omaha on July 4, 1892. nominated James Baird Weaver, of Iowa, and James Gaven Fields, of Virginia, for president and vice presi dent of tho United Str.tes respectively, and adopted as its preamble and plat form the following: Assembled upon the 110th anniversary of tho Declaration of Independence the lcople's party of America, lu tbt-ir t'.rat national con vention, invoking upon ibeir action tbe bless ing of Almighty God, puts forth, in the name and on behalf of tho cvple of this country, the fallowing preamble and declaration of princi ples: The condl t ions surround! ng us best J ostlf y our eo-opcraitoa; wo meet in the midst of a nation brooght to the vergoof moral, political and material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal lot box. the legislatures, the congress, and touches even tho ermine of the bench. The people are demoralized; uiot of the states have been compelled to Uobite tbe voters at the polling places to prevent universal Intimi dation cr bribery. Tho newspapers are large ly tuhsidized or muxxlcd: public opinion si lenced: businet prostrated; our homes cov ered with mortgages; labor impoverished and the laud concentrating in the hands of tbe capitalists. The urban workmen are denied the right of organization for solf protection: Imported pau;ieried labor beats down tbclr wages; a hireling standing nruiy, onrccog nized by our laws, is established to shoot them down, and they aro rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions aro boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes for a few. unprecedented in the his tory of mankind; and tho poaeasora of tkew, in turn, despise the republic and endanger liberty. Prom the asms prolific wo:nb of th governmental injustice we breed the two great classes tramps and-millions ires. Tbe national power to create money Is ap propriated to enrich bondholders; a vxst public debt, payable in legal tender currency, has been funded Into gold bcariug bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the people. Sliver, which has been accepted as ct-in since the dawn of history, lias brea demonetixed In add to the purchasing power of gold by de creosingthe value of all forms of property k well as banian labor, and the supply of cur rency la purposely abridged to fit ten usurpers, bankrupt enterprises and enslave industry. A vast conspiracy against mankind bas been organised on the two continents, and fl Is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown at once it forebodes ter rible social convulsions, tho destruction cf civilisation or theestablishmentof anabeoln:e despotism. We have witnessed for more than a quarter of a century tbe M rubles cf two great rVn Il eal port ies for power and plnoder. while griev. ous wrongs have been inflicted on tho snRer lng poor. We charge that the com rolling Influences dominating both these i-articsbavc permitted tbe czistit;c4lrcadful conditions lo develop wi;hout serious cfTnrt to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they now ptorut-c us any snbstant lal reform. They ha c agreed together to Ignore la Iho coming campaign every Issue tct ono. They propose to drown Iho outcries of a plundered people with the H ... i . -f n .K-m !i 1 1 1 f S.J, f riff 1 hit ! CADilnlislii-earnaralion- niHional bonks, rincs. tru-ts. watered stock, the demonetisation of silver aud the oppressions of the osnrers may all be ht sight of. Tbry rroposo to sacrifice our homes, lives and children on the altar of Mammon: to destroy the multitude In order to secure corruption funds from the million aire. Assembled on the anniversary of Hie birth day of the nation, and filled with the spirit of the grand generation who established our inde pendence, we seek lo restore tbe government of the republic to tho bands of "the plain peo ple." with which class ft originated. We assert our purposes to be Identical with the purposes of the national constitution to form a more perfect Cnlon. establish Justice, Insure domestic tranqnillity. provido t.r tho common defense, promote Cto general welfare and secure tbe blessings of liberty foroursclves and our posterity. We doclaro that this republic can onlyen dnre as a free government while built upon the love of the whole people for each other and for tho notion: it cannot be pinned together by bayonets: that the civil war isovcr. aud that every passion and resentment which grew ont of It must dio tlh It. exd that we must be in fact, as we are In name, the united brother hood of free men. Oar country finds Itself confronted by condi tions for which there Is no precedent la the history of the world; oar annual agricultural productions amount to billions of dollars In value, which must within a few weeks or months bo exchanged for billions of dollars of commodities consumed iu their production: tbe existing currency supply is wholly Inadc qnato to make this exchangee, the results are falling prices, the formation of combines and Hugs, and tho Impoverishment of the pro ducing class. W pledge ourselves that if given power we will labor t o correct these evils by wlso and reasonable legislation, lo accord ance with the terms of our platform. We believe that the powers of government In other words, of tho people should bo ex pended (as In the case of tbe iiostal eerviccl as rapidly and as far as the good sense of an in tcll'gcot people and the teachings of expe rience shall justify, to tho eud that oppression. Injustice aud poverty shall eventually cease In tbr hind. While onr sympathies as a party of reform are naturally upon the side of every proposi tion which will tend to. make men Intelligent, irtuons and temperate, we nevertheless re gard these questions important na thoy are as secondary to tho great issues now pressing for solution, and upon which not otuy our In dividual property but the very existence of free institutions depend: nn4 wo ssk all men to first help ns to determine whether we are to hare a republic to administer before we differ as to tbe conditions upon which It Is ta be ad ministered, believing that tho forces of reform this day organized will never cease to move forward until every wrong Is remedied and equal rights and equal privileges securely labllshed for all the men and women of this country. We declare, therefore That the union of the labor forces of the United States this day consummated shall be permanent and perpetual may its spirit enter Into nil hearts, salvation of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and every dolla taken from Industry without an equivalent is robbery. "If any man will not work neither -shall he eat." The interests of rural and civlo labor are tho satnu; their ene mies are Identical. We believe that the tlmo has come when the rallrond corporations will cither own Die people or tbo people must own the railroads, and should the nvernmcnt enter upon the work of owning and managing any and all railroads wo should favor an amendment to tbo constitution by which all persons en gaged in the government survioo shall be placed under a civil service rcgulntlou of the most rigid character, so as to prevent tho iu crcaso of tho power of the national adminis tration by tbe use of such additional govern, ment employees: We demand a national currency, sofa, sound and flexible, issued by tbe geucral government only, a full legal tender for all debts, publlo and private, and that without the two of bank, ing corporations, a Just, equitable- and efficient mean of distribution, direct to the people, at a tax not to exceed 3 per cent, per annum, to bs jf ruvUud as sat fqxta In tho trabtntasury plan of tho Farmers' Alliance, or some better system: also by payments lu discharge of Its obligations for public improvements. Wo demand tho free and unlimited coinage of silver aud gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to L We demand that the amount of the circaliU ing medlnm be speedily increased to not less than fifty dollars per capita. .We domond a graduated income tax. We believe that the moneys of the country should be kept as much as possible in the hands of the people, and hence we demand that all national aud state revenues shall bs limited to the necessary cxiiensea, economically and honestly administered. We demand that postal savings banks be es tablished by the government for the safe de posit of the earnings of tho people aad to facili tate exchange. Transportation being a means of exchange and a publlo necessity, tbe government should own and oierate the railroads lo the Interest of the people. The telegram and telephone, like the post office system, being a necrsedty for the trans mission of news, should be owned and operated by he guvrrnmeni In theinutrestof the people. The land. Including all the natural sources of wealth, la the heritage of all the people, aud abould not tie monopolized for speculative pur poses, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All lands now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs and all lands owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held foi actual settlors only. THE " SfcNTIMENT OF THE PARTV. Important Resolutions Xot taetoded la Wis 1'latfortsw When lhc platform bad been adopted at Omaha the committee on resolutimis met and unanimously agreed upon the following resolutions, which were adopt ed by the convention: Whereas, Otbrrqnestions have been present, ed for onr consideration, wo hereby submit the following, not as a part of the platform of the People's party, bat as resolutions expressive of the sentiment of this convention: Resolved.
