THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITIT'S

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions arc carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."
