and 4 of July the household of the Nation celebrates
every year the birthday Of American Independence.
The Federal Government will begin the fiscal year
this wise:
With the largest public debt in American hstory-hirty
six thousand million dollars.
With the largest public payroll of civilians in American

This was not the kind of government envsaged by Thomas

the proof truth Of this assertion will be found in the
following excerpts from letter which Jefferson wrote to
Gideon Granger hundred ana years ago this
