ther-what Mr.. Lawrence says of the
accumulation of United States stocks in

foresight, which all persons interested in

which have been sold to pay the balance
of trade against us-in other words, for
the products of foreign labor to The det-
riment of our own. Our exports should
balance our imports, and to that extent

not creditable to our great country to
borrow large sums Of money Of our ri,
