 The gold emergency came in 1884, and the President obtained authority to nationalize gold.
 The condition of the underprivi- legged became in his view an urgent case in 1885 and Congress had to do something about social-security about housing, and about tax re- form that would take away some of the profits that concentrated power in few hands. As he put it, Con- gross had to act or face the onus of bad faith with the down. trodden.
 The Presidents overwhelming yic- tory of 1886 was accompanied by a comforting rise in prosperity. Con gress, overwhelmingly Democratic. had no ground for an independent position until the court bill back fired. That came in 1897. Since then the trend toward an independent Congress has been widely observed. The trend was emphasized by re- turns of the last election.
 Now the President challenges this independent Congress to act on it's own hook-but warns it to deal cautiously with anything en- dangering the nations defense in the face of greedy totalitarian na- tions. If Congress worsens the re- lationship between employer and labor, if it cuts spending enough to start new recession, if it un- ~steadies the credit and banking structure-if it hurts any New Deal enterprise it impairs the na- tlonal defense, says the President, as much as if it interfered with armaments themselves.
