multiplied, not only for commercial pur-
poses but as a military necessity, and
that, by the agency OF our breadstuffs,
he should always command the sympa-
thy of the great masses in Europe, and
that our financial credit abroad was sus-
tanned by this act and acknowledged

siastic and determined here.
