The State Organ
OF THE
Independent Party
OfMinneSOta.

This party is now an established re-
! atty in the state Of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands Of votes,
with organizations in several coan-
ties and perfected state organic
alton. It will enter the field next
year prepared to make a 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-
Piles.
The Independents need in such
battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
| for facts and arguments.
The ANTI-MoNoPoL1sT proposes
ito constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab-
lishmsnt Of the following princi-
! pies:
I..That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either of the old party
organizations; they represent
the passions and resentments Of
sections and the wrath and hate.
Of terrible civil war.
Ii. 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 a new basis; destroy the race
t politics of the south, and assure
: the nation peace and repose.
S III. That the powers of gov.
.. eminent should not be used to EN-.
S rich the few and impoverish the
: many, but to arrest the aggres-
: sions and cunning of the few. II
: other words "to take care of the
e poor, because the rich can tax,
e care of themselves
". To this end a policy OF fl
: nance is necessary which shall
3 insure employment to labor, pros
9 perity to the whole people, and
: : the crushing out Of all tendencies
! to aristocracy and class-priveleges
. V. That it is not SO necessar,
to resume specie-payments for tn
; benefit of the capitalist, as it is t.
resume prosperity for the benefi
) of the impoverished and sufierin,
multitude.
VI. That the demonstration o
7 silver was intended to increase tn
value of money at the expense Q
!. labor, and to enrich the credito
n class at the expense of the debto
: : class; it is a reversion to barbarian
: and can only produce the most de
' structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren
. cy required by the people shoult
$ be issued directly by the genera
,e government, without cost to tn
:, people, beyond the cost Of printin
II it; and that we are opposed t
