more constant employment and better remuneration
for It, In the whole history OF the country there had
been no seven years OF such continuous and un-
interrupted prosperity the last seven no period
when the whole people were SO actively

shavers and Shylocks little; when the creditors

claimed that specie payments could only be revived

American markets cheap 10 buy In instead Of being
dear TO sell In; that could only be erected BY
increasing American productions and decreasing the
demand Tor the productions OF foreign countries.
