Annual Message to Congress. 1
quote: ..:... ~, .,,h1;o
revenue-that searching operation
in all governments-is among the
most delicate and important
trusts in ours, and it will, OF
course, demand no inconsideraole
share of my official sollcitude.
Under every aspect. in when 1t
can be considered, it would APP
pear that advantage must result
from the observance Of a STREE
and faithful economy. Tins
shall aim at the more anxlouslv
both because it will facilitate the;
extinguishment of the Nationsii
debt, the unnecessary duration OF
which is incompatible with real
independence, and because it will
counteract that tendency to public
and private profligacy which a
profuse expenditure Of money by
the government is but too apt to
engender! 90, -. =, -. ..,tl

selves upon the eXtinguishment OF
the national debt and the prosper
Gus state of our finances, let us
not be tempted to depart from
the sound maxims of public pol
lev which enjoin a just adoption
of the revenue to the eXpendl-
lures that are consistent with
rigid economy and an entire alb
stinence from all topics of legis-
lation that are not clearly within
the constitutional powers of the
government and suggested by the
wants of the country"

these words would not have been
handed down to US. Rather, a
message would have been deliver
ed in person, in the dark hours
of the night, by torch light signal
from the dome of the Capitol, to
America, waiting on Bonded knees
in the streets, squares, and parks,
below. He would have said to
anyone alarmed over the trend OF
federal deficits and the increas-
ing public debt. "You are a pirate
seeking private gain and greed";
] to those alarmed and shocked by
his urging the congress to enact
legislation in spite Of doubts,
however reasonable, of the con-
stitutionality Of such legislation:
You are a money changer and
should be driven from the tenn
ple;' to those conscientiously fear
