James G.. Field.

Gen. James G. Field, the peoples
party candidate for vice-president,
was born in Culpeper county, Va,
Feb. "a 1926, and was educated as
a LAWYER. In 1859 he was appointed
the commonwealth attorney for
Culpeper county, and in 1877 was
appointed to fill the unexpired term
as state attorney-ge general. He enter
ed the Confederate army as private
soldier in 1861. He rose to be major,
was made member of A. 2. HiLl's
staff, and served in the field until the
close of the war. He lost leg at
Cedar Creek. Gen. Field owns and
operates Virginian plantation and
also has large legal practice. He
has for the past seven years been
advocating the starting of a new
party in order to solve questions
which neither Of the old parties is
able to take up.

James B. Weaver.

Gen. James Baird Weaver, Peoples
party candidate for president, was
born at Dayton, O., June II, 1888.
His early life was spent on his fathers
farm. After a varied career as a
young man he entered law office,
but suspended his study and made
the journey across the continent in
an OK cart to the Pacific coast. Upon
his return In 1854, he entered the
Cincinnati law school and upon grad
uating began the practice of his pro-
fession. At the outbreak of the civil
war, he enlisted in the ID Iowa Infan
try. He rose to be colonel in 1862
and was brevetted brigadier- general
for gallant conduct in 1865. AT the
close OF the war he returned to the
practice of the law, was elected dis
trict attorney of the I'd Iowa district
and was subsequently made assessor
of internal revenue, serving in that
capacity for six years. Gen. Weaver
voted for Fremont, and when peace
was declared, continued to support
the republican banner. The demon
citation of silver IN 1873 caused him
to revolt against the position Of his
party on finance. He entered Con-
gress in 1879, having been elected
as a greenback candidate from
strong republican district. His can
vass had been very dramatic and
exciting one, and he had satisfaction
of sweeping away a 1000 republican
majority. In 1880, Gen. Weaver
was nominated for the presidency by
the national greenback-labor party
and polled 307 ,740 votes. He was
returned to Congress IN 1885, having
been defeated in 1882, and was re-
elected in 1886. It is to be noted in
Gen. Weaver's career that while he
made his name as an able debater on
the currency, he has always been
quick to perceive the growth of other
monopoies in this country beside
that of Wall street. His nomination
for the presidency by the Omaha
convention forms the latest chapter
in notable public career.

Free Coinage OF Silver.
1Con+innoa f.. m third no 90.

~ an International conference ana
agreement. But we have no 1a'tn
IS the success of such conference,
therefore we are not willing to have
i psed az an instrument to head OH
free coinage. The rehabilitation OF
silver would be of inestimable ad-
VANTAGE to the country, and that
very fact would be an insuperaole
obstacle in the way OF an lnterna-
tional agreement.
In the conference OF 1873, Dr.
Rroch. of Sweden, admitted broad
" that the United States would be
greatly benefited by the restora-
fion Of silver Note his language, as
reported in the proceedings of that
conference on page %:
Mr.. Brooch recognized that the Unit
ed States had great in crest IN nav
ing other countries make equal use or
the two metals for their monetary cir
cuIation and give equally to both the
Ieoal-tender character. The United
States fear that if the States still sub
iected to the regime of paper money
resume specie payments with the
single gold standard this will immed1-
ateIy produce the double consequence
of auomenting in high degree the
value of gold and of depreciating that
of products of every kind; a result
which, from their point of view, as
great producing country and great
debtor state would, IN fact, present
disadvantages. The United States
have a heavy debt, and it must be ad-
mitted that rise of gold would, with
one blow, aggregate the weight OF the
debt.
Mr.. Brooch was one of the strong
est opponents Of silver in that con-
ference.
tits difficult to imagine an argu
ment that should carry more weight
with an American in favor of free
coinage than this statement OF
Mr.. Brooch against it. The de-
monetizafion of silver increased
the burden of our debt and diminish
ed the value of our products out of
which the debt mnst be paid. In
this matter the interest of England
are particularly antagonistic to ours.
She is the great creditor nation of
the world, and of course she wants
the value of money raised to the
highest possible point.
One Of the principal objections
urged against bimetallism before the
royal commission was that the resto-
ration of silver would deprive Eng
land Of the advantages she now en-
joys through the appreciation of
gold. A considerable proportion
of her people live upon fixed in
comes, and they, of course, are
benefited by low prices. This class,
combined with the money lenders,
absolutely control the fiscal policy
of that country, and they will never
forego the advantages they now
possess to join us IN an international
agreement.
England asked no cooperation
when she established the gold stan
dard. Germany acted independents
ly of all nations when she abandon
ed gold IN 1857, and again when she
discarded silver in 1873. France
sought no international conference Or
agreement when she threw her minis
open to both metals in 1903, and the
American Republic can afford to be
equally independent in 1892.
If we want international co-opera-
ton, the way to get it is to act-not
stand shivering and trembling like
boy about to plunge into an ice-cold
bath.
