why Are We SHcb a Borrowing
Nation?
Nr Blaine, in his Oshkosh speech, says the
inquiry is pressed home = Us, Why, in view of
our enormous income and elTnin g are We such
q bOTOEing nation? Ii We earn and receive
more each year than Great Britain, or France,
OF the Germsn empire. vhv are We borrowing
from them? Why do they, and nO- we, hold the
bulk o. our national securities, besides SO vast
proportion Of state loans AMI rail way Indebted
Dess? The question Is 4 serious one, he says,
but the answer - easy. Its simply because We
spend more Isv.shly than any other nation in
the world. our people live better AMI faster,
have more abundant food and better clothing,
more exgeI-ig houses and furniture AM outfit
and equipsys than those Of any other nation in
the world. So that, with All oar enormous ia
come. We have far less than some European "a
tons whose grJ,s annual receipts are far below
OuTs. But IL for single decade We should by any
concert q action, live an a. economical a
scale IN This country ss they do n the most IA
voTed European kingdoms Or az we did our
selves only - years ago. we should save en9ush
TO recall every American stock auI bOni from
the cOfIeis of foreign bankers, and should pay
CT with ease cur entire national debt, OF at
least have Ic held among oUr owH people, which
IN itself, WgHld constitute no small decrease OF
It's burden. 10 such return to our old habits
of economy we're practicable and practlceI,
and the drain Of gold coin to Europe to pay
interest on our bonded Indebtedness were
thereby stopped, many problems OF finance,
ROW disturbing the people and perplexing
the legislator, would ind an easy solution
nav, would not even remain to be solved at all.
Mr.. Blaine further C1mmeDds courage and con
hdence ID the administration OF our national
finances Our revolutionary fathers did not
hesitate to incur 3 debt equal to one seventh Of
all the property in the Thirteen states. He sees
in the future Oftte next generation a pOpula-
ton in this country OF one hundred millions,
with su annual income exceeding fifteen thous-
and milliODs-CT i've times a. much earned and
realized every year as our entire public debt Of
all forms II .o-day.
