Yet in speaking of economy, / must
in nowise be Understood as advocating
the false economy which is in the end
Tie worst extravaganza. To cut down
in the navy would be crime against
the nation. TO fail TO push forward ali

Currency.
Every consideration Of prudence de-
mands the addition Of the element of
elasticity to our currency system. The
evil does not consist in an Inadequate

currency will contract against specula-
| ton and will expand for the needs of
| legitimate business. At present the
