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 I the recent State election in Alabama I Capt. Kolb w T as chosen Governor by I over 40,000 majority, and yet his PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1892. 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.

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. Eight—Resolved, That we favor a constitu tional provision limiting the office of President and vice-President to one term, and providing for the election ©f Senators of the United States by a direct vote pf. the-people. Ninth—Resolved. That We oppose any sub sidy or national aid toau private corporation for any purpose. "The People’s party at the Outset to secure permanent control of the party organization of the people unaffected try the interests of those in public service does hereby in national con vention assembled at Umana on the 4th of July, 1892, establish tifip Ordinance as funda mental law of party organization, viz: No per son holding any ■office or position of profit, trust or emolument unjiep. the federal or any state or municipalWoverntaefit, including Sen ators, Congressmen and raembers of the Leg islature, State and local, snaltoe eligible to sit or vote in any conlventjortof ibis party, and a copy of this ordinance shall be annexed by ev ery call for any future convention of the par ty.” I( Wri .

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 pers of the world. The farm and other departments sparkle with interest and in short it is one of the most able and interesting newspapers of the age and should be in every horn© in christendom. It is seven column folio in size and printed in plain neat type on good paper and can be read by old as well as young with the greatest ease to the most trying eyes. We therefore require that SI.OO be sent with each and every answer to the word puzzle to pay for a years subscription to The Herald. ®lf you send an answer to mor© thaii one word you will be required to send SI.OO and a separate name for each word you solvo, REMEMBER we will pay you $5.00 for each word you solve correctly.

But in every case you must send a separate name and address for each word you solve.
