INDEPENDENT PLATFORM.

The Independent Party is called into ex-
istence by necessities OF the people whose
Industries are FRUSTRATED. whose labor is.
deprived of it's Just reward as the resu
of the serious acknowledgement OF the ma
tional finances, which errors both the Re-
publicans and Democratic parties neglect
to correct. In view of the failure OF
these parties to furnish relief tosthe de-
pressed industries of the country, there's
bv disappointing the ust hopes and e.
pectations of suffering people, we de-
clare our principles and invite all inde-
pendent and patriotic men to join our
ranks in this movement tor 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
rescue Of our industries from the disaster
and ruin resulting from its enforcement;
and call upon all patriotic men to organ
ize in every Congressional district OF the
country, with the view of electing Repre-
sentatives to Congress who will legislate
for, and Chef Magistrate who will carry
out the wish OF the people in this res
gard, and thus stop the present suicidal
and destructive policy of contraction.
Second, We believe that the United
States notes, issued directly by the gov
eminent and convertible on demand
into obligations, bearing an equitable
cate of interest, not exceeding one per
cent. a day on each one hundred dollars,
md interchangeable with United States
.,otes at par, will afford the best circus
iatinr medium ever devised ;such United
States notes should be a full legal tender
Tor all purposes, except for the payment
If such obligations as are by existing
contracts made payabable in coin. And
We hold that it isl the duty OF the govern
ment to issue such a circulating medium,
and we insist, in the language OF Thomas
jefferson, that "bank paper must be
suppressed and the circulation restored
to the nation, to whom it belongs
Third. 1t is the paramount duty of tht
government in all its Legislation to keel
in view the full development OF all legltl
mate business, agricultural, mining
manufacturing and commercial.
Fourth. We most earnestly protes
against any further issue OF gold bonds
for sale in foreign markets. by means o
which we would be made for Il lone e.
period, hewers Of wood and drawers
water for foreign nations, especially a
the American people would gladly ant
promptly take at par all the bonds tn
government may need to sell, provides
they are made payable at the option c
the holder although bearing interest
three and sixty-five per cent. per annum
or even lower rate.
Fifth, We further protest against tn
sale OF government bonds for the pun
pose OF buying silver to be used as
substitute Tor our more convenient an
less fluctuating fractional currenc,
which, although we'll calculated to enric
the owners of silver mines, yet in oper;
ton will still further Cypress through ia,

The MoNopo1lsr has borrowed the pic

Peter Cooper can't build a better locomotive
than the one shown in this picture he is no

Peters excuse, AS to that locomotive,
is that it was the frs, ore he ever built.
