The State Organ
OF THE
Independent Party
OfMinneSOta.

Of Minnesota.
This party IS now an esJaDllsed re-
ality in the state of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands Of votes,
with organizations in several coun-
ties and perfected state organiz-
alton. 1t 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 it's princi-
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-
!. Piles:
, [. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either Of the old party
, organizations they represent
E the passions and resentments Of
e 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-
e try; divide up the popular vote up
/ on a new basis; destroy the race
! politics of the south, and assure
e the nation peace and repose.
d III. That the powers of gov
Il 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 s'to take care of the
poor, because the rich can take
care Of themselves
". To this end a policy Of Fl
5 nance is necessary which shall
,r insure employment to labor, pros
I'd perity to the whole people, ant
5r the crushing out Of all tendencie
to aristocracy and class-priveleges
y V. That it is not so necessar,
is to resume specie-payments for tn
OF benefit Of the capitalist, as it is t.
Il resume prosperity for the benef
sss Of the impoverished and suffering
multitude.
10 vi. That the demonetization Q
c. silver was intended to increase tn
value of money at the expense G
Y labor, and to enrich the credito
= class at the expense Of the debto
class; it is a reversion to barbaris1
and can only produce the most dc
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper currer
cy required by the people shoul
X be issued directly by the gener'
rs government, without cost to th
Sss Sst people, beyond the cost Of printin
the It; and that we are opposed
