PRINCIPLES.
It will be devoted to the estab-
lishment Of the following prlncl-
pies:
I. That no peace can come to a
distracted and embittered country
through either Of the old party
organizations;- represent
the passions and resentments OF
sections and the wrath aud hates
OF terrible civil war.
II. That the success of q 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 repose.
III. That the 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
b poor, because the rich can take
+ care of themselves"
: ". To this end a policy of II
. . nance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
!, perity to the whole people, ant
a the crushing out of all tendencie
: TO aristocracy and class-prlveleges
V. That it is not SO necessar,
TO resume specie-payments for tn
e benefit Of the capitalist, as it is t
d resume prosperity for the beneii
. of the impoverished and suffering
y multitude.

!. silver was intended to increase tn
l. value Of money at the expense c
~ labor, and 10 enrich the credlto
If class at the expense Of the debto
N class; it is reversion to barbarlsr
e. and can only produce the most dc
10 structive consequences.
