empty as our treasury is, andno means let,
for filing it but by borrowing, let US be
prudent, and save the exptnee of any con-

Not a word is said of France. The
French are not enemies but friends. The
Dutch debt, now the French debt, must
not be sequestered because it would be cru

Frenchmen and SET them to work for the
public benefit; they are tender, and their

mage so as never to need loans We shall
have such surplus that We can make roads
and canals all over the country, and have
millions left to put out to interest: we shall
be so economicsl-you can't think how e.
