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
battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
The ANr1-MoNoPoLIsT 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
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.
III. That the powers of gov
eminent should r!.ot be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
luany, but to arrest the aggres-
sions and cunning Of the few. In
other words ssto take care of the
r 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
: perity to the whole people, and
|, the crushing out Of all tendencies
9 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 to
) resume prosperity for the benefit
: : of the impoverished and suffering
q multitude.
vi. That the characterization Of
silver was intended to increase the
value of money at the expense Of
labor, and to enrich the creditor
class at the expense Of the debtor
class; it is a reversion to barbarism
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 the
people, beyond the cost Of printing
c it; and that we are opposed t.
the withdrawal of the greenbacks
