past four o'clock. the building known as

Front and Rrady streets, and occupied by
McCarn & Coates, Wholesale Grocers, was
discovered to be on fire in the upper story
A large crowd of citizens Immediately eel
lected, and the engine Fire King, was
promptly on the spot, and done effective
service in extinguishing the flames The
fire originated in the third story by sparks
passing through between the bricks in the
chimney, which was improperly construct
ed, and igniting the ends of the floor boards
and base board which rested against the
wall. The entire trouble was caused by
The carelessness Of the mason in not prop
erly filling the joints between the brick
with mortar. The chimney was burning
ont when the fire took place.
Messrs. McCarn 4 Coates had a quantity
Of goods stored in the room in which the fire
originated. Loss by fire and water. about

Of 5000, and was insured in the Missouri
State Mutual. The store of Messrs. Sieg 4
Meyer, Tobacconists. on the lever floor
was somewhat drenched. Insured

cy in Iowa is assuming a new aspect, which
has some more semblance of security than
the repudiating and repudiated wild cat
issue with which we have been so severely
chastised.
have been in business and intercourse
with financiers, bankers, and men who have
made political economy their study contin-
uously for the past thirty-five years, and
have tried to acquire some information on
the subject Of banking, but after all the op-
portunites and information l have been
favored with, I must admit that cannot
see how good, safe, reliable banks of issue
can be instituted and sustained in new States
and Territories.
The wisdom of the honest National Dem.
ocracy of this Union, after full ana udicious
investigation, found that it was unsafe to
trust the treasure of our government to the
keeping of the best restricted and best di-
rected banks. The terribly expensive les
sons taught to the people Of the old as well
as the new States, should be sslutary ad-
monition to guard us in future The safe,
true, and reliable rule promulgated invaria-
bly, by the good old democratic party since
Thomas Jefferson's Inauguration to the Pres
idency Of the U. s., should be tenaciously
clung to perpetually, i. e. Guard the rights
of the many from the encroachments of the
few" The greatest of all political dangers
of encroachments of the few on the rights Of
the many is to be apprehended from soul
less corporations, and of all the soulless cor
porations, those of banks and railroads are
the most to be dreaded and most difficult to
control or restrain. The democracy which
is the only party that ever did or ever will
contend for tho rights Of the people against
money power and chartered corporations,
will, in the coming few years, have severe
battles TO fight against those dangerous in
fiuences The preparation should be now
made by all good democratic Statesmen and
patriots. and the operations of railroad COM
paniss and banks should be scanned with .
jealous eye, more especially their conclavs
movements. The railroad influences that
will be brought to bear against the people
of this Union will, not many years hence,
demand an Old Hickory democratic admins
tration to protect the honor and dearest
interests Of this Union from prostration. In
sll encroachmsnts attempted heretofore By
the aristocratic few ever the great masses,
BANK NOTES were the dangerous and formi
dable instrument the people had to contend
against and dread. The same will be the
case hereafter. Therefore in . political
point of view bank notes are dangerous, and
on the score Of political economy, NO good
business man can deny the fact that every
