too much In the form Of breadsus provisions cotton
rce &o for such exports contribute wealth. but
we have exported what We most needed to prevent the
existing deporabe state Of things viz too much gold
When the Secretary Of the Treasury sends his report to
Congress he may probably congratulate our people that
he has locked up about thirty millions in gold and that
is well far But may he forget to tell them how un-
fortunate twas that about thirty millions Of gold have
been exported to Epgand and the Continent since the
