I Have A Congress On My Hands.

And Let Us Not Trust To Human Effort Alone, But Humbly Acknowledging The Power And Goodness Of Almighty God, Who Presides Over The Destiny Of Nations, And Who Has At All Times Been Revealed In Our Country's History, Let Us Invoke His Aid And His Blessings Upon Our Labors.

At Times Like The Present, When The Evils Of Unsound Finance Threaten Us, The Speculator May Anticipate A Harvest Gathered From The Misfortune Of Others, The Capitalist May Protect Himself By Hoarding Or May Even Find Profit In The Fluctuations Of Values; But The Wage Earner - The First To Be Injured By A Depreciated Currency And The Last To Receive The Benefit Of Its Correction - Is Practically Defenseless.

The Wage Earner Relies Upon The Ventures Of Confident And Contented Capital. This Failing Him, His Condition Is Without Alleviation, For He Can Neither Prey On The Misfortune Of Others Nor Hoard His Labor.

After An Existence Of Nearly Twenty Years Of Almost Innocuous Desuetude These Laws Are Brought Forth.

I Mistake The American People If They Favor The Odious Doctrine That There Is No Such Thing As International Morality; That There Is One Law For A Strong Nation And Another For A Weak One.
