In a republic of republics like this, an ideal army of defense should consist in the main of a splendid & gregation of state armies, to be unit- ed and used by the Federal Govern- ment, in case of need, for a common purpose. -Some of the states have met this need already, but in most of them there is neither public nor private in- terest in the matter.

The total of all cx- ports fn that time increased fifty- per cent., whereas the total of im- ports increased only twenty-four per cent. That is to say, we sold to the world three-quarters of a billion dol- ars’ worth of more than we bought from the world, which -was the same as to save or to put aside three- quarters of a billion agaist ill times.
