In the history of financing the armies of great men of our War for Independence were Franklin ind no man ever had a more arduous commission than did Morris in it was the personal gredit of Morris which brought forth the money. The financial means raised from his own private resources the victory at Trenton possible. WhenWashington proposed the capture of Lord Cornwallis and his entire army;, it was from Morris, the patriot and private citizen, and not from the treasury of the Confederated States from which the money came. Thus last great victory was made possible, and the longand bloody for National Independence brought © an end. Morris was the first to suggest our present system of National the best banking system that any nation has ever known. He was the first American to send 2 ship forth the few.
