WEAVER AND FIELD.
ACCEPT THE NOMINATION OF THE
PEOPLE’S PARTY.
__ ■’ >*' '
Declaring that they Stand Squarely
Epon the Platform Adopted at
the Omaha Convention.
General Weaver and General Field,
the People’s party candidates, for
President and Vice-President, have
issued the following address:
To the People of the United States:
Having been nominated respective- •
ly for the offices of President and
Vice-President of the United States
by the National Convention of the
People's party, which assembled at
Omaha July 4, 1892, we take this
method of formally notifying the
public of our acceptance of the nom
ination and of our appreciation of the
honor conferred upon us by the ac
tion of the convention.
We are heartily in accord with the
platform of principles adopted by that
convention, and, if elected, will en
deavor to faithfully carry out the de
mands in letter and spirit.
We have been requested by the
National Committee to visit the vari
ous States of the Union so far as it
shall be within our power, and to ad
dress the people upon the political
situation and the issues presented in
the platform. We are now in the
discharge of that duty, having al
ready one or both of us visited fif
teen States in the Northwest and
South, and if health and strength are
spared we intend to continue the
work until the campaign is closed.
We have been received with marked
cordiality. The enthusiasm every
where is without parallel, and ex
tends to every part of the Union we
have visited. By contact with the
people we have become acquainted
with their wants and sufferings, and
have been brought face to face with
the manifold perils which so serious
ly threaten our civilization and the
overthrow of popular government.
We wish to express our judgment
freely ahd without reserve in order
that we stand acquitted before our
fellow-men and our own conscience
touching the whole matter.
SUBSTANCE OF THE PEOPLE DE
VOURED.
The people are in poverty. Their
substance is being devoured by heart
less monopolists, trusts, pools and
money sharks. Labor is largely un
employed, and where work is obtain
able tlie wages paid are for the most
part unremunerative, and the pro
ducts of labor not paying the cost of
production. This is a matter of se
rious concern to the whole people.
The leaders of the heretofore domi-
are everywhere con-
the great monopoly and
and nmnifest utter
for the want B md wishes
The paMr.s are hos-
section aV
lines and the present bitterness and
cruelties of the past; every four
years discussing the issues of the late
war which should long since have
been allowed to pass from the politi
cal discussions of the day. Not
withstanding the bitterness existing
between the old parties they vie
w ith each other in their subservience
to capitalistic and corporate greed.
They are incapable of dealing sin
cerely with the vast problem evolved
by the growth of the last quarter of
a century. Upon the general eco
nomic questions of the age they are
practically in harmony, differing just
enough to enable them to carry on a
sham battle, 'while the work of rob
bery and spoliation proceeds una
bated. In the meantime the farmers
and planters, North and South, and
the wage earners everywhere are
proscribed, maltreated, brought into
competition with convict labor, and
in many instances shot down by
hired mercenaries acting under orders
of arrogant corporations, which have
unblushingly usurped the functions
of Government and presumed to act
in its stead. These corporations
dominate the daily press and control
the lines of a daily communication
■with the people.
A still greater peril—we hold that
the rights of a free ballot and a fair
count are rights preservative of all
rights, and upon their inviolability
rests the perpetuity of free institu
tions and representative government.
We are pained to discover in the
public mind of the Southern States
through which, we have passed a
widespread loss of confidence on the
part of the people in the integrity of
the judges of elections in receiving
the ballots of the people and count
ing them for the candidates of their
choice. We think that this evil must
be corrected by the intelligence and
integrity of the people of the coun
iry; otherwise scenes of violence,
and perhaps bloodshed, may follow
these efforts of parties in charge of
the ballot boxes to defraud the will
of the voter. They will lead to a
serious collision, and that quickly.
the party’s growth in the
SOUTH.
After consultation w’ith the peo
ple we believe it to be true beyond
reasonable question that the ma
jority of white voters are with the
People’s party in every Southern
States thus far visited, and our in
formation leads us to believe that
the same thing is true in the other
States also. The white people are
leaviug the old parties and casting
their lot with us, and our numbers
constantly increasing. We are in-
I formed by a large number of intel
| ligent and reputable people that in

opponent was counted in by a ma
jority of 10,000. County tickets
throughout the State were counted
out and others counted in. By the
same unblushing methods we are in
formed that in the State elections,
which occurred in Arkansas Sept
tember 5, at least 50,000 of the
qualified voters of the State were
deprived of the right of suffrage, that
the returns were inaccurate, that at
this election the People’s party the
number polling a large vote was de
nied representation in the appoint
ment of judges and commissioners,
by whom the election was to be con
ducted, In consequence of these
methods the will of the legally au
thorized voters of the State has been
defeated.
After an experiment of many
years it is apparent that neither the
Republican party nor the Demo
cratic partycan or will accomplish
the much-desired end—to-wit: The
restoration of the ballot to a fair and
honest basis in the States of the
Union. The People’s party alone
can secure the desired end. If the
people of the whole country who de
sire honest elections and the repeal
of class laws will rally to the support
of this great industrial movement,
and place the party in power under
whose banner the whole people of
the South are now marshaling them
selves, this vexed question will be
settled forever. It is certain that
the people of the South will not join
the ranks of the Republican party.
It is equally certain that the Repub
licans will not unite with the Demo
cratic party.
WHAT THE PLATFORM OFFERS.
The People’s party affords the
only solution of these important mat
ters. All who desire the revival of
business, all who wish for the return
of prosperity to our country, all who
desire to relieve the depressed in
dustries and wage-workers of our
common country, all who desire an
adequate increase of our currency
and the free coinage of silver, all
who desire the abolition of banks of
issue and the constitutional control
of the great instruments of commerce
by the Government of the United
States, all who desire that the laws
of taxation shall be equitably adjust
ed to the property of the country, all
who desire that the public domain
shall be sacredly held in trust for the
people, all who desire that the high
ways between the States shall be
rendered subservient to the popular
good, and finally, all who desire the
restoration of fraternity among the
peonle and the obliteration of sect
■ ional animosities, should at once re
gard it as their conscientious duty
to align themselves under the ban
ner of this great industrial and fra
ternal movement. It seems to us to
be quite impossible that the liberal
and justice-loving people of this
country should longer cast their
ballots the corporations and
money-changers. It would ‘seem
impossible that they should refuse to
make common cause with the fair
minded majority of the people of
the South, who have risen up to de
mand justice and good government
in their respective States.
With the aggressions of capital on
the one hand and the overthrow by
fraud of free elections on the other,
how is it possible for our civilization
to last ? The new party has its face
turned to the glorious future, its
sublime mission to usher in an era of
fraternity and justice among men.
In the presence of such an opportu
nity to emancipate our country from
misrule of every kind, let party lines
be forgotten, and let the generous
flame of a common patriotism nerve
every heart and move every soul.
James B. Weaver.
James G. Field.
Always the Case.
That the old time methods would
be resorted to just as soon as the
common people rose against the
political corruption which . has en
slaved them, could not be doubted.
The same spirit of rule or ruin still
prevails, and there is no hope save
through revolution of the masses and
producers against the rings and
plunderers. So long as we have a
solid South will we have a solid
North, and that means retrogression
for the former, because she is the
weakest. The old parties are Wall
street twins, and the candidate of
either suits the money power. The
following extracts from the Rocky
Mountain News shows what will be
the result of the action of the Geor
gia hoodlums, under the instructions
of their masters:
The Cleveland campaign managers
do not seem to realize that they are
making thousands of votes for Har
rison by employing hoodlums to mob
an ex-union soldier in Georgia, mere
ly because he performed his duty as
a patriot in 1861-5.
The brutal and riotous reception
being accorded to General Weaver
and Mrs. Lease by the hoodlums of
Georgia recalls to mind the days of
■iß6o, when the same element in the
(South mobbed, egged and hooted
Stephen A. Douglass when he at
tempted to speak in his own behalf
as a Democratic candidate. This
treatment of Douglas made Illinois
solid in 1861, and it will help to make
a “solid North” in 1892. * * * *
The truths enunciated by General
Weaver in his noble tight for free
coinage and his exposure of the rob
bery of the masses through the curse
of contraction, have been especially
unpalatable to the wealthy corpora
tions and banking institutions which
procured Mr. Cleveland’s nomination
and the interests es which he will
look after closely if he is successful
in November. The plundered plant
ers and oppressed laborers of the
South are ripe for revolt from the
rule of corrupt politicians, and only
the necessity of preventing a stam
pede en masse to General Weaver’s
banner influenced a policy that must
prove as suicidal to the purpose which
instigated it as it -was compromising
to our civilization.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.
State Platform, Adopted at Atlan
ta, July 20th, 1892.
We endorse and reaffirm the preamble,
resolutions and platform adopted by the
People’s Party in national convention as
sembled at Omaha, July 4, 1892. We
indorse the ticket nominated and
pledge the party when it shall come
into power in the State to frame and
administer the laws in the spirit of
the Omaha platform, which is equal
justice to all, and special privileges to
none.
2. We condemn the convict lease sys
tem.
3. We demand rigid economy in all
public matters and inist on every pos
sible reduction of taxation during the
present impoverished condition of the
people.
And we call public attention to the
fact that the producing interest in both
city and country is bearing more than its
fair share of taxation.
National Platform, Adopted a
Omaha, July 4th, 1892.
Assemoled upon the one hundred and six
teenth anniversary of the declaration of inde
pendence, the People’s Party of America, in
their first national convention, invoking upon
their action the blessing of the Almighty God,
put forth in the name of the people of this
country, the following preamble and declara
tion of principles;
The conditions which surround us besn
justary our co-operation; wt meet in the
midst of a nation brought to the verge of
moral, political and material ruin. Corrup
tion dominates the ballot box, legislatures,
congress, and touches even the ermine of
th© bench.
The people are demoralized; most of the
states nave been compelled to isolate voters
at polling places to prevent universal in
timidation or bribery. Newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzlod; public
opinion silenced; business prostrated; our
homes covered with mortgages; labor im
poverished ; and the land concentrating in
the hands of capitalists. The urban work
men are denied the right of organization for
eels-protection; imported pauperized labor
beats down their wages; a hireling standing
army, unrecognized by our laws, is estab
lished to shoot them down, and they are
rapidly degenerating into European condi
tions. The fruits of the toil of millions are
boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes
for a few, unprecedented in the history of
mankind; and the possessors of these in
turn despise the republic and endanger
liberty. From th© same prolific womb of
governmental injustice, we breed two great
classes—tramps and millionaires. National
power to create money is appropriated to
enrich bondholders: a vast public debt pay
able in legal tender currency has been
funded into gold bearing bonds, thereby
adding millions to the burdens of the peo
ple. Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, has been
demonetized to add to the purchasing pow
er of gold by decreasing the value of all
forms of property as well as human labor,
and the supply of currency is purposely
abridged to fatten usurers, bankrupt enter
prise and enslave industry. A vast con
spiracy against mankind has been organized
on the two continents and it is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not met
and overthrown at once it forebodes terrible
social convulsions, the destruction of civil
isation or the establishment of an absolute
despotism.
We have witnessed for more than a quar
ter of a century the struggles of two great
political parties for power and plunder,
while grievous wrongs have been inflicted
upon the suffering people. We charge
that th© controlling influence dominating
both these parties has permitted the exist
ing dreadful conditions to develop without
serious effort to prevent or restrain them.
Neither do they now promise us any sub
stantial reform. They have agreed togeth
er to ignore in the coming campaign every
issue but one. They propose to drown out
the cries of the plunderea people with the
uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, so
that capitalists, corporations, national
banks, rings, trusts, watered stock, de
monetization of silver and the oppression
of the usurers may all be lost sight of.
They propose to sacrifice our homes, lives
and’children on the altar of mammon; to
destroy the multitude in order to secure
corruption funds from millionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation and filled with the
spirit of the grand general-in-chief who es
tablished our independence, we seek to re
itore the government of the republic to the
(lands of “the plain people” with whose
class it originated.
We Assert our purpose* to be
to the constitution Dy which all persons
engaged in the government service shall be
placed under a civil service regulation of
the most rigid character, so as to prevent
an increase of th© power of the national
administration by the use of such addition
al government employes.
We demand a national currency, safe
sound and flexible, issued by the general
Soveniment only, a full legal tender for all
ebts, public and private, ahd that with
out the use of banking; corporations ; a just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu
tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex
ceed 2 per cent per annum be provided as
set forth i>r the sub-treasury plan of the
Farmers’ Alliance, or some better system;
also by payment in discharge of its ob
ligations for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at tire present legal
ratio of 16 to 1.
We demand that the amount of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to
not less than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the money of the coun
try should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand,
that all state and national revenues shall
be limited to the necessary expenses of
the government economically and honestly
administered.
We demand that postal savings banks ba
established by for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the people and
to facilitate exchange.
Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity, the govern
ment should o*wn and operate the railroads
in the interest oi the pbeple. The tele
graph and the telephone, like the postal
system, being a necessity for the trans
mission of news, shpqld b,e owned and op
erated by the government in the interest of
the people. 91 9fl
The land, Including all the natural
sources of wealth, is’the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, and,alien ownership
of land should* ba prohibited. All lands
now held by railiMaas and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs, and
all lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and held for
actual settieiS'Oulv. k,
the national constitu
tion —to form a more perfect union and es
tablish justice, inStire domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defense, promote
the general welfare and secure the bless
ings of liberty for ourselves and our pos
terity. We declare that this republic can
only endure as a free government while
built upon the 1 ove of the whole people for
each other, and for the nation; that it can
not be pinned together by bayonets; but
the civil war is over and that every passion
and resentment which grew out of it must
die with it, and that we must be in fact, as
we are in name, one united brotherhood.
Our country finds itself confronted by
conditions for which there are no prece
dents in the history of the world. Our
annual agricultural productions amount to
billions of dollars in value,: which must
within a few week? or months, be exchang
ed for billions of dollars of the commodi
ties consumed in their production.
The currency supply is wholly inade
quate to make the exchanged The results
are falling prices; formation of combines
and rings; and th© impoverishment of the
producing class.
We pledge ourselves that if given power
we will labor to,correct these evils by wise
and reasonable legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform. We be
lieve that the powers of government—in
other words of the ppople—should be ex
panded as in the case of th© postal service,
as rapidly and as far as the-good sense of
an intelligent people and the teachings of
experience shall justify, to the end that op
pression, injustice aml poverty shall event
ually cease in the land. While our sym
pathies, as a party of reform, are naturally
upon the side of every proposition which
will tend to make men intelligent, virtuous
and temperate, we nevertheless regard
these questions—important as they are
as secondary to the great issues now press
ing for solution and upon which not only
our individual prosperity but the very exist
ence of free institutions depend, and we
ask all men to first help us to determine
whether we are to have a republic to ad
minister, before we differ as to the condi
tions upon which it is to be administered,
believing that the forces of reform this day
organized will never cease to move for
ward until every wrong is righted and
equal rights and equal privileges securely
established for all men and women of this
country.
We declare, therefore:
1. That the union of the Labor forces of
the Uniled States this day consummated
shall be permanent and perpetual. May
its spirit enter into all hearts for the salva
tion of the republic had the uplifting of
mankind. j;d -T
2. Wealth belongs tn him who creates it,
and every dollar taken from industry with
out an equivalent is robbery. “If any will
not work, neither shall he eat.” The in
terests of rural and civic labor are the
same; their enemies ate identical.
3. We believe that the time has come
when railroad corporations will either own
the people or the people must own the rail
roads: and should the government enter
upon the work of owning and managing all
shouldfavor an amendment
UPPLEMEXPAL RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, other questions have been present
ed for our consideration, we r .hereby submit
the following, not as apart of the platform of
the People’s Party, but as resolutions expres
sive of the sentiment of this convention.
First—Resolved, That we demand a free bal
lot and a fair count,in all elections and pledge
ourselves to secure it to every legal voter
without federal ’intervention, through the
adoption by the States of the unperverted
Australian or seci fet'ballot system.
Second—Resolved; That the revenue derived
from a graduated tirCOme tax should be applied
to the reduction of the burden o£ taxation now
resting upon the domestic industries of this
country.
Third—Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union
soldiers and sailors. j
Fourth—Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor under
the present system, which opens our ports to
the pauper arid criminal classes of the -world,
and crowds out our wage earners; and we de
nounce the present ineffective laws against
contract labor, and demand the further re
striction of undesirable immigration.
Fifth—Resolved, That we cordially sympa
thize with the efforts of orga aized working
men to shorten the hours of labor, and demand
a rigid enforcement of the existing eight-hour
law on government work, and ask that a pen
alty clause be added to the said law.
Sixth—Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing artny of mercena
ries, known as the Pint jrton system, as a men
ace to our liberties, ar we demand its aboli
tion; and we condemn the recent invasion of
the territory of Wyoming by the hired assas
sins of plutocracy, assisted by federal officials.
Seventh—Resolved, That we commend to the
favorable cons.derption of the people and the
reform press the legfshttive System known as
the initiative and referendum.

IDII'A'T OJIX' *■ The p ubHsher9 ° f the cincin
x NATI Herald, one of the most, in-
fluential Reform newspaper’s published in this part of the world, and one of th©
most able People’s Party, Farmer’s Alliance and Labor Advocate journals of the world,
has undertaken to guarantee to the party throughout the United States and to its adver
tisers (40,000) FORTY THOUSAND additional subscribers by January 1,1893, and in or
der to secure this large number in so short a time, necessitates a big outlay of money. Wo
fully appreciate the fact that if we put agents into every county in every state in the union
to canvass for subscriptions it would cost us not less than TWENTY THOUSAND DOL
LARS to secure 40,000 subscribers, and then it would take these agents one year or longer
to secure this number and hence to get so large a number of subscribers in so short a
time, we have carefully calculated that the cheaper and best plan is, to offer a CASH
DONATION of SIO,OOO and give every man, woman and child in the universe a chance to
get a part of this large sum. (>
40,000 additional subscribers will bring to our advertising columns $50,000 of advertising
each year and hence we ean well afford to pay out SIO,OOO in cash to secure this list.
Any school boy ten years old can see the philosophy of our argument.
This is the greatest country on earth for NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE and the pub
lishers of The Cincinnati Herald do not propose to allow any other newspaper on
earth to get a head of them in generous bonefide offers to subscribers.
FORTY THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS means to us $40,000 to say nothing of th©
large amount of money we will get through our advertising patronage, and we ean well
afford to GIVE AWAY SIO,OOO in premiums or rewards to those who are intelligent enough
to solve our Word Puzzels as given below. This is the fairest and most original, just and
straight forward offer ever made.
It is estimated by publishers generally who have offered premiums and reyvards to the
lucky guessers or solvers of their puzzles and riddles that ONE out of every TWENTY
are successful, and taking this as a basis we would be called upon to pay cash money to
2,000 persons out of 40,000 subscribers entering the puzzle contest. Henoe, SIO,OOO divided
between 2,000 persons would be $5.60 a piece for each person. It will tnus be seen
that each parson who is lucky enough to solve our word puzzle will receive $5.00. If we
should not secure more than half of this large number of subscribers, we would pay each
lucky contestant $5.00 In getting 20,000 subscribers, we would pay out, figuring accord
ing to ths same rule $5,000 to 1,000 persons. If we get 10,000 subscribers we would pay
out $2,500 to 500 persons. If wo got 5,000 subscribers we would pay out $1,250 to 250 persons,
and hence it will be seen that the rule applies in any case and we can well and ably afford
to give each contestant to the word puzzle $5.00 if he should be successful in solving it.
Each oerson can solve as many of the words as he or she may choose. ®
THE'OQLY C offer is to secure subsribers AT
ONCE and in large numbers to The Cincinnati Herald one of the best newspapers
published. It is aggresive, fearless and independent and is brim full of news from th©
whole world. The People’s party principles are ably and thoroughly discussed editorially
and by the best writers of the day. The Laboring classes, Farmer’s Alliance and the in
dustrial classes generally will find in the columns of The Herald just such reading
matter as they can not find in any other paper of the day. It’s Woman’s department
is read with a deep interest by every mother and young woman in thousands of homes
and copious extracts, and articles are copied in all the leading magazines and newspa
