Ghe 9nti-Monopolist
The State Organ
OF THE
Independent Party
MINNESOTA.

This party Is now al establlsed re-
atty in the state Of Minnesota,
sustained by thousands Of votes,
with organizations in several coun-
ties and a perfected state organic
alton. It 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 its princi-
Piles.
The independents need in such
a battle
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence,
for facts and arguments.
The ANTI-MoNoPoLIsT proposes
to constitute such an organ.
PRINCIPLES.
1t will be devoted to the estab-
lishment 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.
IL. That the success of 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
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 "to take care of the
poor, because the rich can take
care of themselves"
". To this end policy Of f.
nance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros.
perity to the whole people, and
the crushing out of all tendencie:
to aristocracy and class-priveleges
v. That it is not so necessary
to resume specie-payments for th'
benefit of the capitalist, as it is t.
resume prosperity for the benefi
of the impoverished and suffering
multitude.
| vi. That the demonstration 0
silver was intended to increase tn
value of money at the expense 0
labor, and to enrich the credito
class at the expense Of the debto
class; it is a reversion to barbarian
and can only produce the most de
: structIve consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren
cy required by the people shoui'
be issued directly by the genera
government, without cost to tn
J people, beyond the cost of printin
/ it; and that we are opposed t
the withdrawal of the greenback
