an adequate national defense.
Traders and commercial men found their plans for commerce on a
national scale impeded by local interference with interstate commerce. The
currency of the states and the nation were hopelessly muddled. Creditors
everywhere were angry about the depreciated paper money which the agrarians

bystander to this great American tradition. Volunteering my hours made me feel

dollars regardless of the .....
