In the last place, though first in importance I shall ask-is there any thing doing, or that can be done to restore the credit of our currency? The depreciation of it is got to so alarming a point-that a waggon load of money will scarcely purchase a waggon load of provision.

The markets are going to boom, the stock is going to boom, the country is going to boom, and the rest of the world wants to see is there any way they can make a deal. They've taken advantage of us for many, many years. For many years we've been at the wrong side of the ball. And I'll tell you what, I think it's going to be unbelievable.

Jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country, and you see it happening already. We will supercharge our domestic industrial base.

From 1789 to 1913, we were a tariff-backed nation and the United States was proportionately the wealthiest it has ever been. So wealthy, in fact, that in the 1880s, they established a commission to decide what they were going to do with the vast sums of money they were collecting.

Then in 1929 it all came to a very abrupt end with the Great Depression. And it would have never happened if they had stayed with the tariff policy.
