The New York Independent and VFcst~
ern Currency.
The writer Of the money article of tho New York
Independent must have been asleep during the past
two weeks. In the Last number OF that paper we
find the following:
The Western merchants and bankers are still
elumbering oycr their deprecated currency. IN
stead Of diEcardng it altogether, and instttntlng
spece ic5 it at osce They en- d1sw spese for
and re-cstabl;eh their credit but desling ID the
bank paper and trash Of Illinois and Wisconsin, In
order 10 have apparently small percentage, viii
charge OF prodace, for which there is now lrisk
denand for Europe, and for the supply OF the
troops for the war.
For tho information Of the Independent AID Its
readers, wc would rtatc thai SO fnt Illinois aad
Iowa arc concerned, Illinois and Wisconsin wild
cot bills hare been dead and buried beyond all hope
Of 1csn1rection for over two weeks, and that they

We arc now doing business On a specie basis.
Flour, wheat, corn, and other products atc cold
only for gold or par currency. The operation Of
cutting OF our twelve millions Of currency has
been expensive but now that 1t is oyes, all par.
