The State Organ
OF THE
Independent Party
OF Minnesota.
OF Minnesota.

This party is now an established re-
atty Ill the state of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands of votes,
with organizations in several coun-
ties and o perfected state organic
alton. 1t will enter the field next
year prepared to make still more
vigorous canvass for success: COM
mittees and clubs will be organized
in every county, and it will not
give up the contest until it has
carried the state or forced the
dominant party, whichever party
thst may be, to adopt its princi-
pies.
The Independents need in such
a battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
THE ANTI-MoNoPoLIsT proposes

PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
nshment Of the following princi-
pies:
|. That no peace can come to L
distracted and embittered country
through either OF the old party
organizations; represent
the passions and resentments of
sections and the wrath and hates
| Of a terrible civil war,
/ Il. That the success of a new
party upon new issues would as
suage the evil passions Of the coun-
try: divide up the popular vote up
on new basis; destroy the race
politics Of the south, and assure
/ the nation peace and repose.
LII. That the powers Of gov
eminent should not be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many. but to arrest the aggres-
sions and cunning Of the few. In
other words '.to take care of the
poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves"
". To this end policy Of f.
nance is necessary which shall
| insure employment TO labor, pros
peritv to the whole people, and
the crushing out Of all tendencies
to aristocracy and class-prlveleges.
Y. That 1t is not SO necessary
10 resume specie-payments for tie
benefit OF the capitalist, as it is to
resume prosperity for the benefit
of the impoverished and suffering
multitude.
VI. That the decentralization oil
silver was intended to increase the
value Of money at the expense Of
labor, and Ia enrich the creditor
class at the expense Of the debtor
class; it ia a reverslon to barbarian
and can only produce the most dc.
strucfiye consequences.
VII. That All the paper curren-
| cy required BY the people should
be issued directly hy the general
government, without cost to The
people, beyond the cost Of printing
It; and that we are opposed II
the withdrawal Of the greenbacks
