text_original: To borrowing for war purposes he was, both on moral and economic gi'ounds, sternly opposed. " The expenses of a war," he characteristically said, " are a check which it has pleased the Almighty to impose upon the ambition and the lust of conquest that are inherent in so many nations. . . . The necessity of meeting from year to year the expenditure which war entails is a salutary and a wholesome check."
