w
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 prlnci-
pies.
The Independents need in such
battle a
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
The ANTI-MoNoPoL1sT proposes
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following princi-
pies:
l. 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. Is
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
t 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 sto take care of the
! poor, because the rich can take
: care of themselves
e ". To this end a policy Of f.
nance is necessary which shall
t insure employment to labor, pros
perity to the whole people, and
the crushing out of all tendencies
y to aristocracy and class-priveleges
. Y. 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
: multitude.
e VI. That the demonstration o.
r silver was intended to increase the
!. value of money at the expense O.
labor, and to enrich the creditor
+ class at the expense Of the debto,
at class; it is a reversion to barbarisn
! and can only produce the most de
al structive consequences.
Is VII. That all the paper curren
i cy required by the people should
a be issued directly by the genera
Ie government, without cost to til,
,e people, beyond the cost Of printing
j. it; and that we are opposed tt
IL the withdrawal of the greenbacks
