4005. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS, Advocated.—

I experience great satisfaction
at seeing my country proceed to facilitate the
intercommunications of its several parts, by
opening rivers, canals and roads. How much
more rational is this disposal of public money,
than that of waging war.—
To James Ross. Washington ed. i, 560. Ford ed., iv, 216.
(P. 1786)
