sc millions of dollars annually we
mean the expenses produced by the
war, and not to include the total ma.

which the people are to pay annually
out of their pockets but there is yet
more to come out Of the pockets of the
people, or which they must lose, and
which amounts to The same thing.
Before the whimsical experiments of
neutrality-suspicious., non intercourse, EN-
barge, &c. became part Of our nation

for war, the condition of this nation
was prosperous beyond example. We

must be imposed TO carry it on.
