that a three per cent bond cannot be sue

masses of the people; that thousands OF
mechanics with spare money will invest it
more readily in the new bonds at per

rate, because there is no risk with the
government az borrower.

proportion Of the bonds be taken by the
people direct, capitalists may. conclude to

Appropriated. 1t has already been sur

made and paid for by the United States

done in two years, the utmost expense is
limited to what the work will cost during
