A WASHINGTON correspondent has
been doing little financial work, and
says: "Some figures made recently here
regarding the debt of the United States
as compared with that OF other nations,
have the tendency to make one quite
contented with the billion and three
quarters Of debt that the country Is car
rying. For instance, the debt of Spain,
with her 100000 OF people, is just
about the same as that of the United
States. Italy, with her population of
2s,OO0, 900 has debt Of over $4,000 000,-
600. Great Britain, with a population
Of 35,000,000 OF people, has a debt of over
$1,000, 100000. Unofficial estimates Of
the population of the United States OBJ
tanned from census reports, give the
population Of this country now us about
55,000,0O0. The debt Is about one and
three-quarter billions Dividing the
population into this debt 1t gives an
average debt per head among the entire
population Of $50. Comparing this with
the debts per capita Of other countries,
the result is quite gratifying. The debt
of Belgium, for instance, is more than
double per capita that of the United
States, being SG4 per head. That of
Italy averages over $40 per head. That
Of the Netherlands is over 800 per head;
that Of France over 500 per head that
Of Great Britain 500 to each inhabitant,
and that Of Spain more than $50 per
head. Indeed the debts of all countries
with organized Government, whose debt
statements are attainable, average per
head $40, or 80 per cent more than that
OF the United States. In the countries
which have large debts, like Great
Britain, Russia, Spain and Italy, the
revenue Is barely sufficient to comforta-
bly, meet the current expenses, leaving
little OF anything with which to pay off
the debt, while we are paying ours at
the rate of over S100,000,6OO year. The
annual interest charged in this country
Is but about so cents per head, while in
England and France 1t is over "a per

Strong protests were at once lodged with

FREE TRADE.-John Bright, in letter
favoriog free trade, argues that since its
adoption by England the price of food and
the hours of labor have diminished, while
wages have been doubled. He says that,
although trade in England is momentarily
depressed, the depression is far greater in
protection countries, like Russia, France
aud America. He concludes by saying that
the receus overthrow of the party of pro-
lection and monopoly in America may prove
to be great blessing and when England
and America have embraced the policy OF
free industry the whole fabric Of monopoly
throughout the world will totter to its down.
