The National Finances.

There is another important question in
connection with taxation and the financial
condition of the country which calls for Sc
rious attention. That is the question of
reducing the interest on the debt, or, what
would be better and amount to the same
thing, of taxing tue bonds. The present
high interest is not only an enormous bur-
den upon the people but it paralyzes in
dustry and progress by absorption ofactive
capital and drains the country of specie to
pay foreign bondholders. AS long as cap
italsts can get six per cent. in gold or eight
per cent. in currency by investing in United
States securities they will not trouble them
selves with business enterprises. Besides,
our bonds are going abroad at such rate,
under the stimulating influence of high in
terest and the desire of foreign capitalists
to invest in them, that there will be soon
q greater annual demand for the precious
metals to pay the interest abroad than our
mines yield or the balance of our products
can supply In other words, we are fast
becoming debtor country to such an ex-
tent that, with all our wealth, we shall be
kept poor and our noses to the grindstone.
Would it not be better, then, to tax the in
terest on the bonds two per cent. perpetually
than to reduce the interest that much by
transformations of the debt2 In the first case
the debt might remain as it is, which would
save the expense to the government that
must be incurred by changing it, and which
would prevent the necessary augmentatio
of the principal, as well as the enormous
jobs to financial agents and brokers'. In
the second case, the gain or income would
be direct and cost the government compar-
atively little to collect, for the amount
would he deducted by the Treasury Depart
ment at the time of paying the bondhold-
ers their interest. Better than all, it would
turn large amount of capital now locked
up in bonds into active business enter
prises, and would check the vast and
constantly increasing drain of specie from
the country. Our debt is comparatively
bagatelle, and the hundred millions addi-
tional for the purchase of Cuba would
amount to nothing if the national finances
be properly managed. In the case of Gu
ba this country would be paid over and
