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
organlzations;-they represent the
passions and resentments of Sec
tions and the wrath and hates Of a
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 repose.
Ill. That the powers of govern
ment should not be u.ed to en-.
rich the few and impoverish the
many, but to arrest the aggres-
slons 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
finance is necessary which shall
insure employment to labor, pros
perity to the whole people, and
the crushing out Of ali tendencies
to arlstocracy and Glars privileges.
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 demonstration Of
silver was intended to increase the
value OF money at the expense Of
labor, and to enrich the creditor
class; it is reversion to barbarism
and can only produce the most de.
structive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren.
cy required by the people should
be issued directly by the general
government, without cost to the
people, beyond the cost Of printing
it; and that we are opposed to the
withdrawal OF the greenbacks.
We ask all parties who agree
with US in the support of these
principles, to aid US placing the
ANTI-MoNoPoLIsr in every house
in Minnesota. We are entering
upon events which will either de
stroy liberty or establish it firmly
and forever on the face Of the earth.
Let each do his part toward the
circulation Of the truth.
We trust each Of our subscribers
will act AS an agent to solicit sub
scribers for the ANTI-MoH0PoLIsr.
We propose to make it q first
class Newspaper; also to devote
space each week to literary and
scientific matter; and to discuss
fearlessly in our editorial columns
every public question which may
concern the welfare Of the people.
