The fruits Of Pan Buyenism in Michigan. 1t ia
we'll known that the Anti- Bank Jackson and v. Bu-
party has carried all before it in Michigan and
reformed the currency by talking about "irrespon-
sble corporations" as do that party in Vermont
BY the fruits of the labors of the currency reform
ers in Michigan we can judge pretty accurately of
what might expect if Smiliei and the Windsor
bank roformers get into power in this State 1t
be told In few words. The Bank bills of Michi-
gan have been 10 and 90 per cent below par since
the currency reform was commenced by the hard
money party, by creating banks by tho dozen. The
State is 1till suffering severely from the 'reformed
currency" and it will continue to suffer till the
friends Of paper currency redeemable at all times
with specie-the Whigs--have control Of the
State and its currency. Let the reader draw the
comparison--in Vermont the irresponsible corpo-
ration Wings" as the Michigan currency reform
call them, have had contrel Of affairs, and our
currency, save the Windsor Bank, over which the
"reiormers" hayo exclusive control, has answered
all the purposes specie, and there has been in
crease Of banks-while in Michigan less than
90 or 80 banks have been created by the hard cur
rency party, whose bills only irredeemable
with specie but actually below par 10 t 90 per cent
Here we have the notions of the Van Buren, cur
rency reformers practically illustrated. Here is

Press shows tine condition Of the monetary affairs

Pennington, May 10, 1889.
"Prof Epsy' s theory is receiving practical ties:
at the present time in this section. There has been
rains for long time, and every combustible ma
terial is perfectly dry, and where fire has been ap
piled TO the clearings, it has boen impossible to stop
its progress. 1t is now raging with uncontrol liable
fury through rasuy of the forests and thousands OF
dollars worth Of timber has already been destroyed.
In passing over the highlands between Dixfied and
this place, had very extensive prospect, md the
country smoking in every direction, ard in
some places the air filed with smoke as to
render II very uncomfortable travelling. The scene
was rather picturesque, tho gloomy. In some pla-
ces the course Of the fire could only he traced by
the smoke creeping along on the ground-in other
places it would be rushing up the sides the noun
tains with great rapidity and occasionally it would
shoot forth tongue of flame from some lofty pine
and again sweep over piece Of stubbIe ground
as fast as a man could walk. If the fires prevail
az extensively thro' the State they do between
this place and Giead, the destruction of property
must be immense. Sill there is rain, and no
signs of any,"

and hoisted the Wing banner. There few of

the last number.
Question Ansaoered-Tbe Democrats, in 1896,
were opposed to putting more power into the
hands OF the Executive. They were for taking
power from the President and his ministry, and
giving it to the people. What are the modern Lo-
cos about ? Are they for taking power from the
Executive No, indeed. Why do they call them
selves Democrats then For the same reason that
a rogue keeps the title of honest man as long as
he cantor it helps HIM to conceal his roguery.
"Federalssts The Locos call the Wings Fed
eralists, Why? What propriety is there in this
title H.: The Federalsts were friends of a strong
government. They charged with desire to
increase The poaoer Of the EgecutiUe. This the
chief accusation against them. Now the Wings
are engaged in exactly opposite design. They
wish to circumscribe and limit the power of the
Executive. Time has shown that the great danger
of our system lies in tendency to undue power in
the Executive, and the Wings are engaged in an
effort to remedy the evils, which have followed
and may still follow from this tendency. The Lo-
cos are the only true Federalists-the only true
ries in this country. They only striving to
