vigorous canvass for success; COM
mlttees and clubs will be organized

HE ANTI-MoNopoL1sr PROPOSES
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab-
llshment 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 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 a new basis; destroy the race
politics of the south, and assure
the nation peace and repos~.
LII. That the powers of GOV
eminent should not be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
lnany, but to arrest the aggres-
slons and cunning of the few. In
other words 'sto take care Of the
poor, because the rich can take
care of Themselves
w. 10 This END policy Of f.
nance IS necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
perlty to the whole people, and
the crushing out Of all tendencies
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
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; 1T is a reversion to barbarism
and can only produce the most de-
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren-
:y required by the people should
Ve issued directly by the general
government, without cost to the
people, beyond the cost of printing
{; and that we are opposed to
he withdrawal of the greenbacks
