PRINCIPLES.
It will he devoted to the estah-
lishment of the following princi-
pies:
l. 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 aud hates
of terrible civil war.
TT Tbo+ Tho ,,,o
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 repos~.
III. That the powers of gov
eminent should not be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
many, but to arrest the agrees
slons and cunning Of the few. In
other words ''tn 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
pcrity to the whole people, and
the crushing out of all tendencies
to aristocracy and class-priveleges.
V. That it is not 80 necessary
to resume specie-payments for the
heneft of the capitalist, as it is to
resume prosperity for the benefit
OF the impoverished I'D suffering
multitude.
vi. That the demonstration of
silver was intended to increase the
value OF money ut the expense of
labor, and to enrich the creditor
class at the expense Of the debtor
class; 1t is a reversion to bar barism
and can only produce the most de-
strnctive consequences.
VII. That all the paper curren-
cy required by the people should
lie issued directly by tie general
government, without cost to the
people, beyond the cost of printing
It; and that we are opposed to
the withdrawal of the greenbacks
