...uncomfortable moment toward the end of TIME'S second year (when circulation reached 80,760), cash in the till shrank to $5,000, enough for only a few days' operations. That, however, was due mainly to a shortage of working capital in a growing concern.

These people take refuge behind inapplicable symbols resurrected from our own past, and equally inapplicable symbols imported from Europe, warning that any tendency to forget Jefferson's statements about the benefits of limited government will...
