The People's party assembled In na tional convention at Omaha on July 4, 1802, nominated James Baird Weaver, of Iowa, and James Gaven Fields, of Virginia, for president and vice presi dent of the United States respectively, and adopted as its preamble and plat form the following: Assembled upon the 110th anniversary of the Declaration of ludependcnco the Pcoplo's party of America, lu their first national con vention, invoking upon their action the bless ing of Almighty God, puts forth. In the name and uu behalf of tho people of this country, ths following preaoiblo and declaration of princi ples: The conditions surrounding as best Justify our co-operation; we meet In the midst of a nation brought to the verge of moral, political and material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal lot box. the legislatures, the congrcse, and touches even the ermiue of the bench. The people are demoralized; most of the stales have been compelled to Isolate the voters at the polling places to prevent universal Intimi dation or bribery. Tlie newspapers are large ly subsidized or muzzled: public opinion si lenced: business prostrated; our homes cov ered wilh mortgages; labor impoverished and the land concentrating iu the hands of the capitalists. Tho urban workmen aro denied tho right of organization for self protection; imported pauperized labor beats down their wagest a hireling standing army, unrecog nized by oar laws. Is established to shoot them down, and they are rapidly degenerating into European conditions. The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to balid up colossal fortune for a few. unprecedented in the his tory of maakind; and the possessors of the. In turn, despise tho republic and endanger liberty. From the same prolific womb of the governmental Injustice we breed the two great classes tramps and millionaire. The national power to create money Is ap propriated to enrich bondholders; a vast public debt, payable la legal tender currency, has been funded Into geld bearing bonds, thereby adding millions to the burdens of the reople. bilvcr. which ha been accepted as outn since the dawn of history, baa been demonetized In add to tb purchasing power of gold by do emiaing the valoe of all forms of properly as well a ha man labor, and the supply of cor reney is purposely abridged to fatten usurpers, bankrupt enterprise and enslave Industry. A vsit conspiracy against maakind has been organized on the two continent, and It is rapidly taking possession of the world. If not met and overthrown jx once It forebodes ter rible social convulsions, the destruction of clcillxatlon or the establishment of an absolute desrotism- Ye have witnessed for more than a cuarter of a century the struggles of two great politi cal parties for power and pluuder, while griev ous wrongs bave been Inflicted on the suffer ing poor. We charge that the controlling Influences dominating both these parties Lave permitted the existing dreadful conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them. Neither do they rw promise e any substantial reform. They bave screed together to iguore in the coiciag campaign every Issue but one. They propose to dro rn the ontcriea cf a plundered people with the upmcr of a sham battle over the tariff, so that capitalists, corporations, national banks, rings, trust, watered stock, the der&onclixatinn of silver and the eppressi'-tns of the n-ttrera may all be lost sight of. Tbey propose to sacrifice our homes, lives and children on the altar of )iasinos;; to d.-:ror the multitude In order to secare corruption funds froa the million aire. Assembled on the anniversary of the birth day of the nation, and filled with the spirit of the grand generatloa who cslab.ishcd our Inde pendence, we sec to restore the government of Ibe republic to the hands of "the plain peo ple." with which eiaa It uriginaled.

We declare, therefore That the union of the labor forces of the United States this day ronsuintaaiod shall be permanent and perpetnal miy its spirit enter into all hearts, saivatiou of the republic and the uplifting of mankind. Wealth belongs In htm who creates it. and every dollar taken from industry without an equivalent Is robbery. "If any man will r.ot work neither shall he eat. Tho interests of rural and civic labor are the same: their ene mies are IdentiraL We believe that tho time has come when the railroad corporations will either own the people or the people must own the railroads, and should tho government enter upon the work of owning and managing any and all railroads we should favor aa amendment to tho constitution by which all persons en gaged In the government service shall be plaoed under a civil service regulation or itie most rigid character, so as to prevent tho lu ervaso of tho power cf the nntional adminis tration by the use of such additional govern ment employees. We demand a natloual currency, safe, sound " and flexible, issued by tho general government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that without the nse of bank ing corporations, a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution, direct to the people, at a tax not to exceed S per ceut. per annum, to be nroridsd, aa set forth in tho subtreasurjr plan ef the Farmers' Alliance, 6 sbnio bettor system: also by payments In diechargo of iu obligation for pubilo improvements. We demand, tho free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 10tol. We demand that the'amount of the circulat ing medium bo speedily iuctcasod to not less thaa fifty dollars per capita. We demand a graduated Income tax. ' We believe that tho moneys of tho country should be kept as much as posslblo in ths hands of the people, and henco we demand that all national nud state reveiraes shall be limited to the necessary expenses, economically and honestly adniiutstered. Wo demand that postal savings banks be es tablished by the government for the safe de posit of the earnings of the people and to facili tate exchange. Transportation being a means of exchange and a public- necessity, the government should own and operate the railroads in the Interest of the neoiile. The telegram and tolephone, like the post Otnco system, being a necessity fur the trans mission of news, should be owned and ope rated bytfco government in tho Interest of the people. - Tho land, including ait tb eotursi sources of wealth.

Important Resolutions Not lueludea Is . tlie Platform. When tho platform had been adopted at Omaha tho committee on resolution! met and unanimously ugTeed npon the following rtsulntions, which were adopt ed by the convention: Whereas, Otheraueelions have been nreaent. ed for our consideration, we hereby submit ths following, aot as a part of the platform of the People's party, but as resolutions expressive of the sentiment of'thls convention: Bcsolved, That we demand a free ballot and a fair count in all elections, and pledge our. selves to secure It to every legal voter without federal Intervention through the adoption of the states of the unperverted Australian or secret ballot system.

Ilesoived. That we cordially sympathize with the effort of organized worUlngmen to shorten the hours of labor, and demand a rigid en forcement of the exisUng eight hoar law on government work and ask that a penalty clause be added to the said law.

Resolved. That we commend to the favora ble consideration of the people and to the re form press the legislative system known as the Initiative and referendum. Resolved, That we favor a constitution! provision limiting the offices of president and vice president to one term and providing fer the election of senators of the United btatea by a direct vote of the people.
