CHE Anti- Monopollst
The State Organ
Independent Party
OfMinneSOta.

This party is now an estaDllsed re-
ality in the state Of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands Of votes,
with organizations in several coun-
ties and perfected state organic
alton. It 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 princl-
pies.
The Independents need in such
battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
The ANTI-MoNoPoL1sT proposes
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following princi-
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 a 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.
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. Ii
other words s'to take care Of the
poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves"
". To this end policy Of Fl
nance is necessary which shall
: insure employment to labor, pros
. perity to the whole people, ant
; the crushing out of all tendencie
. 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
l resume prosperity for the benefi
: Of the impoverished and suferin
multitude.
Q VI. That the demonstration {
:. silver was intended to increase tn
value Of money at the expense
Y labor, and to enrich the credito
class at the expense Of the debto
class; it is reversion to barbarisl
and can only produce the most d.
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curre1
cy required by the people shout
< be issued directly by the gener
IS government, without cost to tt
s st people, beyond the cost Of printir
he it; and that we are opposed
'at the withdrawal Of the greenback
