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 it's princi-
pies.
The Independents need in such
a battle a
STATE ORGAN,
to which they can look for defence.

The ANT1-MoNoPoL1sr proposes

PRINCIPLES.
twill be devoted to the estab-
llshment Of the following princi-
pies:
l. That no peace can come to q
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 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 gov
eminent should not be used to en-
rich the few and impoverish the
lnany, 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 tendencies
to aristocracy and ss-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 ...i 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 at the expense Of the debtor
class; it is reversion to barbarism
and can only produce the most de-
structlve 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
