PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following prlncl-
pies:
/. That no peace can come to
distracted and emblttered country
through either of the old party
organizations; represent
the passions and resentments OF
sections and the wrath and hates
of terrible civil war.
III. That the success OF a new
party upon new issues would as
suace the evil passions Of the coun-
try; divide up the popular vote up
on a new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and assure
the nation pea, e and repose.
III. That TIE powers OF gov
ernment 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.
A\ w. To this end policy Of fl
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-prlveleges
V. That it is not SO necessary
TO resume specie-payments for thu
benefit Of the capitalist, as 1t IS t.

of the impoverished and suffering
multitude.
vi. That the characterization o
silver was intended to increase tn
value of money at the expense Q
labor. and to enrich the credlto
class at the expense OF the debto
class: It is a reversion to barbarlsI
and can only produce the most dc
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curreI
CIV required by the people shout
be issued directly by the genera
government, without cost to tn
people, beyond the cost OF prlntln
it; and that we are opposed
