THE RAG.BADY INDEPENDENTS.


Tho Indiana Independents" hold Con- |
vention yesterday in tl,at State, intended to
forostall the nominations Of tho other par-
ties, especially the Dcmocrntic- Confederate
party, by proclaiming platform Of tho most
unnlulterated denlagogism on tho currency
question. Here is tho sun, and substance Of
the financial policy declared:
Tho resolutions demand the repeal nf tbs ncal,mp-
ton aet declare that is The dnty OF tho Government
to establish monetary sy1cm bsaca on tho faith aud
Of tho nation; that tho notes Of atate and
National Danks and at toca currency be withdrawn
aud bills issued by Government tnstesl snc,, bills to
be ltgalteades for all debts, lutlcB on impors In
olu.tod, except such by law payable in metal
these ba 10 bs interchangeable for Government 3o5
per cont hons. Thoy Ia,uaul that the present bon-
ed debt be refunded into regiera intercchangeaths
3G5 per cent bonds; declare TIM. tho pubIa domafS,
belongs 10 the peopo, aud should bo given In sixtt-
plata to solders without occupation and inS ut
On severe Tntrcnchment.
The most Of this Rtuff is so old as to. haro
become musty md stale Tho demand ,r a
monetary system based ion the faith and
resources" Of tho country In repeated, and
then this System is declared to bo ar. issue
of irredcemnblo paper money. Exnot1,,, whero
the "resourcos Of the country ar in any
way put in pledge for that which il, novor to
be redeemed is not disclosed by. tho "Inde-
pendants" When no resourcea" whatever
arc nvnilAb1e, or intended to be available, TO
redeem tho irrcdoemablc pa,5en, it is rank
stupidity to assume that Bu:h. sresources !"
aro in any way security, md it is super
fuous to aak people to r'.pose "faith" in
what it Is intended shall n,ivor bo done.
| Tho Government, 1t is demanded, shall bo-
como tho great scrip-mortoy- maker, and TINT
this scrip shall bo interc hangcablo for scrip
bonds bear;ng scrip irtorcst. And the fur
ther demand is mada that the sixteen or
seventeen hundred millions Of dollars of
national bonds shall bo taken up with an
issno Of scrip bonda bearing 8.o5 per cent
scrip interest!
AL gold receipts By tho Government arc to
be abolished. andto pay tho interest On the
public debt tho Go1ornment is to buy gold
with its own irrSloemable scrip. At this
time there are ct 1east one thousand million,
Of dollars Of tho gold bonds Of the United
States hold in Europe, and these 1ndopend
cnts essunno that the holders will snrrcn1e,
them ond tako scrip bonds bearing 9.G5 20,
cent intoroat in irro<leomnblo papcr! They
have either assumed this impossibility Of
they hnvo mover estimnted how many SCRIP

CHICAGO As A GRAIN MARKET,

Tho subject of charges on grim passing
through this city Is now being thoroughly
discussed, not only by dealers in produce,
but by commercial men generally. Tho
whole city is interested in tho topic, because
whatever tends to lessen our trade in firm
products also tends to diminish tho volume
Of transactions in dry-goods, groceries, cloth
ing, harslwaro, md the numerous other
articles which Chicago dealers supply to the
Great West.
It Is generally admitted thut tho charges on
handling grain in this city have been higher
than they ought to be, md even tho ware-
housemen are agreed that they should DO
reduced. There is roason to hope that tho
foes hitherto imposed Oh grain loaded into
cars, other than those for inspection md
storage, will be maternity reduced, If not a.
together abolished. With this change, mud
the abolition Of tho late odious dis
criminationa made against us by the rail-
roads, Chicago will return moro nearly to III
equality in tho grain trnde with those Of
other places, tho merchants Of which havo
been abls to outbid us for tho fayors OF q
part of the grain-buying world.
This point gained, it will DO we'll to look at
tho other side Of tho question. There can be
no doubt TINT, with reasonable charges, our
city is better market In which to buy than
any Of tho {so-called) "country points," In
the summer the lake syate,n Of navigation,
! with Its low freights and ample facilities for
moving tho crops, gives an acknowledged nd
vantage. And in the winter season, there aro
30 many points gained by, or secured to, tho
