The Party Of the Future

Appended are the principles (as set forth
in the st. Paul Anti Mo,sopoiist) upon
which the Independent farmers Of Min
nesota Will carry on their political battle.
These seven short paragraphs may be read
with profit more than once
|. That no peace can come to distract
cd and embrttered country through either
of the old party organizations they
represent the passions and resentments Of
sections and the wrath and hates Of ter
ribe civil war.
III. That the success Of a new party
upon new issues would aSsuage the evil
passions Of the country divide up the
popular vote upon new basis destroy
the race politics of the South. and assure
the nation peace and repose
Ill That the powers IF government
should not be used to enrich the few and
impoverish the Il any, but to arrest the
aggresslons and cunning Of the few. In
other words. ITO take care of the poor, be-
cause the rich can take care Of themselves.
". To this end policy Of finance a.
necessary which shall insure employment
to labor, prosperity to the whole people,
and the crushing ont Of all tendencies to
aristocracv and class privileges.
V. That it is not 50 necessary to re
sumo prosperity for the benefit of the i'm
poverished and Suffering multitude.
vi. That the decentralization Of silver
was intended to increase the value of
money at the expense Of the debtor class
it il a reversion to barbarism and can only
produce the most destructive consequences
VII. That all the paper currency re-
quired by the people should be issued d.
rectly by the general government, without
cost to the people, beyond the cost Of
printing it and that We are opposed TO the
withdrawal Of the greenbacks.

There Will be No War

Notwithstanding the braTgadoclo and
threats INDUCED in by the leaders Of the
Republican and Democratic parties, IN
case this or that man is inaugurated, we
feel satisfied all their predictions will end
in smoke. Capital has too much at stake
there are too many empty stomschs-
there are too many dissatisfied men
idle to permit the Presidential contest to
be settled by resort to arms. Civil war
means the death-knell Of the Republic
and that is too costly a sacrifice to make to
save either the Hayes or Tilden patriots,
or both Of them, from perdition.

NEW YORK, December |, 1876
Hon Moses W. FIELD-DEAR SIR: de-
sire to thank YOU for your very kind note in
regard to the issue Of a campaign, which, in
some respects has disappointed the friends
Of financial reform. The people do not seem
prepared suffici emily for this reform to lay
aside the trammels of party
False issues, under sucn political slang as
the ''bloody shirt" and the color hEe, en-
gendered by the passions arising from the
civil war, and not yet subsidized, have misled
the people and blinded them to their own in
teTests, and the true issue Of the day But
we have the satisfaction Of knowing that ev-
cry effort we have made in this direction has
given light and conviction to the people,
which sooner or later must result in a finan.
cial reform. That mischievous fallacy Of
bank credit on paper and specie payments as
the only redemption of paper money, must be
put down, and in their place substituted ma
tional credit and full legal tenders, made re-
ceivable for all forms Of taxes, duties and
debts.
The government can always redeem its
notes by taxes, which are value received for
value gwen. The smount of currency per
capita actually found in circulation at the
close Of the war will determine the volume Of
this currency. The maximum aud minimum
Of currency being thus determined, the {" in

excess and advance supplies, and fixed in
value by an equitable rate II interest, will

Especial Telegrnms to THE LEADER.l
Denver, Oct. 4-3 a. m.-The Repub-
lican ticket was carried in this state to-
day. At this time it is impossible to
give definite figures, but returns have
been received from almost every Sec
tion and show uniform Republican
gains.
The vote cast In Denver numbered
8, ,4s0, and it is estimated by the Repub-
licans that we have carried the city by
800. The Democrats concede that it
has gone Republican, and place the ma
jority at $50. Arapahoe county is
claimed by 400 majority. otstF
! The day passed off without disturb
ance here. Some effort was made by the
Democrats to poll fraudulent votes, but
they were frustrated in this attempt in
almost every instance. The most re-
liable figures give the Republican ma
jorities in the following counties, as
follows: El Paso, 300; Clear Creek, 100;
Gilpen, 200; Weed, 200; Jefferson, so;
Boulder, 800.
Pueblo, Huerfano, Las Animas, and a
few other Mexican counties are con-
ceded to the Democrats. The Repub-
licans claim the state by 1,5o0 majority,
and the Democrats concede it by 500.
They, however, have some hope of
Patterson's election to Congress, ex-
pecting him to run ahead of his ticket
in the San Juan country, which has
not been heard from. The remainder
of the state ticket and the legislature
are conceded to the Republicans.
There is considerable enthusiasm
among the Republicans here, and cor
responding dependency among the
Democrats. [DENvER TRIBUNE.
