The INDEBTEDNESS OF THE UNITED STATEa.
lin order to correct erroneous estimates OF
the Indebtedness of the United States. Hon.
George Walker, of Springfield, Mass, has
furnished paper to the London Examiner
which he concludes as follows:
NV conclusion, from all these data, is that
the entire state and local Indebtedness of the
United States cannot exceed $50 millions OF
dollars. If this be added to the federal debt
as shown by the June statement, 25l5 mil
lions, the total public debt of the American
people would be 3165 millions a sum which
does not much exceed the anticipated amount
of the federal debt alone when the war ended.

94,Sl3, leaving an excess of deposits OF
500 ,262. The company has now on hand

The PUBLIC DEBr-The forthcoming state
ment when published will show considerable
reduction compared with the last monthly
exhibit Since the 3 LIST of May more than
$40 900 900 interest has been paid out OF
the Treasury; 800, 900, 600 of which was in
coin, and two installments of $40 900 600
each in currency.
The reduction which will be shown for July
is principally owing to the receipts from In
tcrnal Revenue having been heavier than
usual and increased by the payment of the
income tax.

paid by the Government until Nov. l, when
the annual interest will fall due on 5-20's
