CHICAGO, July 2.-Gen. J. B. Weaver, green

long letter of acceptance, 1n.which he expresses
his qualification at the honor conferred upon
him. and accepts the nomination as a solemn
| duty. He then says:
'sOur party hath this significance. 1t is a
great labor movement, composed of earnest
people who earn their bread by
honest toll, whether of hand.

depends for comforts OF life upon the various
departments of human toll 80 will every part
of society feel the vivifying influence of the
grand achievements of our organizati on

labor is prosperous every other clement
of society feels the impulse of vigorous life.
The three great political parties have each
selected their candidates and made formal de-
clarations of their principles. 1t is now the
| high duty of every citizen of the United States

ouiry into the aims and purposes of each, to
determine the organization with which duty

The admirable platform adopted by the con-
vention meets my cordial approval It ls

= This great truth can never be realized until
there is an adequate circulating
medium. Inasmuch as this circulating

The method is clearly defined whereby they may

| Copnate to this, and q part of the same
scheme, stands the system of funding the pub

rowed from the English monarchy. By this
system, an enormous interest bearing debt is
to be perpetuatlng-uhe bonds support the

If you pay off the bonds the banks
must cease to exist. Hence, the national
banks are to continue we must have perpetu-

calls for the abolition of banks of issue and the
substitution of legal tender treasury notes for
their circulation. Pay the banks according to
contract and as rapidly possible.
