CHE Anti- Monopolist
The State Org an
OF THE
Independent Party
OF Minnesota.

atty in the state Of Minnesota
sustained by thousands Of votes,
with organizations in several coun
ties and a 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-
pies.
The independents need in such
a battle q
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
| for facts and arguments.
| THE ANT1-MoNoPoLIsT proposes
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
| 1t will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following rrinci-
pies:
| [. 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 hates
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 new basis; destroy the race
politics of the. south, and assure
the nation peace and repose.
i III. 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 a policy Of f.
, nance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
: perity to the whole people, and
. the crushing out of all tendencies
. to aristocracy and class-priveleges
V. That it is not so necessary
to resume specie-payments for the
! benefit of the capitalist, as it is tc
.. resume prosperity for the benefit
5 Of the impoverished and suffering
! multitude.
VI. That the characterization o.
! silver was intended to increase the
2 value Of money at the expense O
) labor, and to enrich the creditor
d class at the expense Of the debtor
Il class; it is reversion to barbarisn
y and can only produce the most de
structive consequences.
: VII. That all the paper curren
cy required by the people should
be issued directly by the genera
government, without cost to tn.
people, beyond the cost Of printing
= it; and that we are opposed t.
the withdrawal of the greenbacks
