Editor anti Monopoi,st.
DEAR SIR will you kindly permit
us to say to your numerous readers, who
are interested in the matter that the
demand from the friends and workers
OF the Independent Party for literature
treating upon Currency Reform, for
gratuitOus distribution, is so much large
er than we have the means Of supplying
that it has been for some time past nee
essary to give preference to applications
coming from localities which give the
best promise OF successful canvass.
Therefore, those persons who have not
received documents. in response to ap-
plications, may safely conclude that
their letters, either did not give full di
rections- legibly-or else the locality
was considered tar less promising than
other districts which have been supplied
When we mention the tact, that il
every voter in the United States (say
1000, 600 in number) should each con-
tribute ten cents for documents to edu>
cate the people relative to National
finance Tor the Currency Needs OF Com
merce, )and the humbug cry Of over pro-
duction. i would aggregate the sum OF
seven Kindred thousand dollars, and
also that If tor each voter three cent
postage stamp Is used to send documents
postage stamps alone would cost two
hundred and ten thousand dollars, We
have thrown light enough upon the
magnitude of tho work which the Inde-
pendent Party have in hard.
In every czse. regardless ct the district
from which the application may come.
we promise 70 do this.

INDEPENDENT PLATFORM.

INOE III NDLN L I'LL OAt4As
The INDEPENDENT Party is called into ex-
istence by necessities OF the people whose
Industries are Frustrated. whose labor is.
denriyed of its Just reward as the resu t
of the serious mismanagment OF the ma
t;onal finances, which errors both the Re
nnhlicans and Democratic parties neglect
r. correct. In view of the failure Of
those narties to furnish relief to the de-
pressed industries of the country, there's
hv disappointing the ust hopes and e.
necta,ions of a suffering people, we de-
clare our principles and invite all inde-
nendent and patriotic men to join our
rsnks in this movement for financial re-
from and Industrial emancipation.
First. We demand the immediate and
unconditional repeal of the specie. re-
sumption act of January IA, 1875, and the
rescne Of our industries from the disa ster
and ruin resulting from its enforcement;
and call upon all patriotic men to organ
i've in every Congressional district OF the
country, with the view OF electing Repre-
sentatiyes to Congress who will legislate
for. and a Chef Magistrate who will carry
ont the wish OF the people in this res
yard. and thus stop the present suicidal
Ind destructive policy Of contraction.
Second. We believe that the United
States notes, issued directly by the gov
,rnment and convertible on demand
INTO obligations, bearing an equitable
Fate of interest, not exceeding one per
cent. day on each one hundred doilars'
md interchangeable with United states
notes at par, will afford the best clrcu,
,atinp medium ever devised ;such United
states notes should be a full legal tender
ior all purposes, except for the payment
IF such obligations as are by exlstlng
contracts made payabable in coin. And
We hold that it is the duty of the govern
,nent to issue such circulating medium,
and we insist, in the language OF Thomas
Jefferson, that "bank paper must De
suppressed and the circulation restored
to the nation, to whom it belongs"
Third. Ii is the paramount duty OF the
Government in all its Legislation to keep
IN view the full development OF all iegltl-
mate business, agricultural, minlnS'
manufacturing and commercial.
Fourth. We most earnestly protes'
against any further issue OF gold oonds.
for sale in foreign markets. by means OF
which we would be made for lone Ell
ner;od. hewers of wood and drawers Of
water for foreign nations, especially a;
the American people would gladly and
promptly take at par all the bonds the
government nav need to sell. provided
they are made payable at the option O.
the holder although hearing interest a
three and sixty-five per cent. per annum
or even a lower rate.
Fifth, We further protest against tht
,.le of government bonds for the pur
pose of buying silver to be used as
s,,hs,;,nte Tor our more convenient anC
less fiuctuating fractional currency
1hich. although we'll calculated to enrict
he owners of silver mines, yet in opera
ion will still further Cypress through tax

Your neighbor may be worth 800,
900 in government bouds. He pays no
taxes, draws his gold interest, and lives
at ease; while you, with your farm or
workshop, must toll to pay your own
taxes, and aid in paying those of your
rich neighbor. Do you want to per-
petuate such system? II you Dc. vote
tor either the Republican or Democratic
tickets-it makes no difference which

set in motion the wheels of trade, iden-
tify yourself with the Independent
Greeback party. that has declared against
further class legislation.

A Model Department.

The Chief Engineer of the Wilmington
Fire Department came over to our town
the other day upon visit to the chief
of our department, whose name is
Jacobs; and it struck Jacobs that it
| would be first rate idea to show the
visitor how very efficient our fire depart
ment Is. SO Jacobs got an old tar bar
rel and set it upon the roof of his stable,
and touched it off with match. Wher
it began to burn pretty freely he gave
the signal for the alarm, remarking at
the same time to the Wilmington man
"You'll see that fire put out in about
four seconds by the boys"
They waited four seconds for the boys,
but they didn't come. They waited
fifteen minutes, and still nobody came.
Jacobs was furious, and as the barrel
was burning very near to the roof, he
sent boy around to the nearest engine
house to ascertain what was the matter.
When the boy came back he said the
tiremen were all out at picnic except
ing the members of the Washy Hose
who had gone over to Pencader to fight
couple OF roosters.
By this time the roof Of the barn was
on fire, and Jacobs was pretty neal
crazy. The visitor wanted to telegraph
over to Wilmington for his department,
but Jacobs alleged that he'd let the eter.
nal earth burn to charcoal before he'd
consent to such thing. Then he sent q
man on fast horse TO bring the boys il
from that picnic, and.by the time they
| reached the engine houses the stable
was In ashes, and Peters stable, mex
door, had begun to burn. So when the
engines arrived, Jacobs directed them t,
play upon that, and they got to work
but alter pumping for awhile withou
getting any water, Jacobs was just about
losing his senses, when Mr.. McAllister
came up and mentioned that the super
visors had let all the water out OF thu
reservoir so as to clean it. Then JacobI
sat down to fan himself, and try u
decide whether to commit suicide OF
leave the country. And the Wilmington
man went home with the idea that b,
