Spain. He says
However iset our Claims upon Spain

Of that party throughout the land, Including

growing out of the Virginius affair; and
surely for that the Democrat should not
complain.

the n,atter of var is not so great bug bear
with him as the fear that declaration OF

bend that our neighbor need entertain no

will be allowed to rest quietly and happily

IMPORTED GOOsrBgRRY SAW FLY.

This destructive insect, which

another of the many requests from

fact that we have received vcrymany

not only upon our now settlers, who
wish to improve their property, but
upon all our business men. Adviccs
from all over are to the effect, that the
lumber which was intended to he sold
Immediately, must be tied up and held
over until the people can pay for their
purchases of this commodity. The
same can be said of our shinglc inter
ests. Give us two years moro of these
times, and nearly every business man
in Northern Michigan will be bank
rupt.
Now for the remedy. Let Congress
declare that the bonds shall be called

ing interest tbut who pay no taxes
thereon) be made to receive I'm ex-
change therefor, currency, which shall
bc declared legal tender for all debts,
public or private, and then the millions
upon millions of money now boarded

West and Northwest for investment.
Then good times will come again, and
the people will prosper. If grcenbacks
are good enough for our business wants;
