ton by and between all civilized and
commercial nations; and for very plain
and pslpRble reRsons-the same that OBJ
tain in the economy Of private life. For
il an individual or a family buys moro
than it ssllp, or ex Ponds more than it re-
ceives, it must come to grief in the long
run. So with states and nations. II
the balance Of trade is hsbltuRlly and
largely against any people, that is, their
exports fall short of paying FOR their i'm
ports, the balance becomes q debt, and
must be discharged in money; and thus
they are trenching on their capital, and
living beyond their means. Thus far,
with regard to commercial balances Of
trade.
But there has sprung up with US 3
different balance Of trade ESQ to speak,
and one more important and more to be
dreaded then the other. refer to the
dead weight resulting from money bor-
rowed and debts incurred to foreigners
with their consequent drain upon our re-
sources ard our means. This is begin
ming to be understood and appreciated;
and this accounts largely for the drain
of gold from our country, and the trials
and tribulations OF our finanoiers Euro
pean investors are returning our ma
tionsl, state, municipal, railroad and
other securities with which they loaded
up in the past few years, and thesa have
to be met with gold, Then the interest
which is being paid on other securities
still held abroad draws that much more
money out Of the country. And the
enormous investments OF foreigners in
many Of our great business enterprises
adds to the drain. Next comes our
great ocean carriers, for almost our en-
tire export and import trade is now
carried in foreign bottoms, principally
British; so that the consequent freight
payments amounting TO near 200 million
dollars q year go to Europeans. Again,
one Of the greatest elements Of this gold
expectation comes from American travel
abroad. It is estimated that 100000
Americans visit Europe annually and
spend there and for transportation at
least 81, 1000 each. This latter is usually
taken in the form Of drafts or letters of
credit, but the gold must be- shipped
to the foreign banker to enable him to
meet this American paper. Another
element touching the gold question Is
the hsbitusl underVsluRtion of our Inn.
ports by the importer (Who thus evRdes
the payment Of full duties), and thus our
imports are returned as much less than
they actually are, and q consequently
less balance Of trade against the country
is represented than actually exists.
An article in the Forum Of February
last, by New York fnsncier, on sour
Dsbts Abroad" confirms our positions,
though the amounts in the second,
third and fourth items, are vastly be-
oW the realities as they exist according
o the best authorities. He asks:
"Whence then comes this unsettled
debt which keeps clsmoring for pay
ment in gold, and which it seems We can
liquidate with nothing elssP The OK.
PLANTATION is simple enough.
"The United States owes TO Europe

is more likely to be larger than smaller.
In order to pay this vast annual indebt-
sdness to Europe the balance OF trade
in merchandise would have to reach at
least this sum, but 1t has never done 80.
This balance could be paid only in Sc
curlties or in gold. So long az Euro
pean creditors were willing to take our
securities or rsinVest their balances in
American enterprises, there was no in
ordinate call for gold, but as they no
longer seem to wish to take our securi-
ties to any extent, nor to make perms-
nent investments here, there is nothing
left but to ask for and insist upon pay
ment iu gold.
"This leads up to the question: Why
do they not wish to take our securities
or make investments in our enterpriseSH
Simply because the developments in our
railroad management have filed would
be investors with disgust and anger"
The mercantile balance OF trade has
apparently been largely in our favor for
some years; but it is in reality, when OK
planned, against US even in the best Of
years. Take the year 1893, for example,
and the following showing Of the Chi
Csgo Tribune, entitled, misleading
Trade Statistics"
1T appears from the. figures furnished
by the treasury department that the
foreign commerce Of the United States
for the fiscal year ending June 80 last
was az follows:
Exports s...........................'.$l SO00O00O
Excess Of exports over Imports, GOaOOOOOO
These figures, if unexplained, would
bs taken as indicative of great prosper
ity and an immense balance Of trade for
the nation during the twelve months.
But when all the facts are stated the
condition Of affairs will bs seen not to
be SO very Asttering.
"Ths value assigned the imports, so
far ss the manufactured goods of Europe
are concerned, is what they were worth
at the place where they were made,
whether the interior Of England, France,
Germany or other nation. The value
assigned to coffee, tea, sugar and similar
articles is what they are worth at the
port Of foreign shipment. The trans
portRtion Of these various products from
the place where they were made or
where collected for shipment to the
ports of the United States adds fully 10
per cent. to their value. That is, they
cost the American consumer SO million
dollars more than the 1927 million dollars
at which they we're billed, or q total Of
9l0 million dollars. This is exclusive
Of the cost of inland transportation In
this country. OF these imports 30 per
cent. was brought in foreign vessels, and
hence foreign carriers got 80 per cent.
Of the profits Of the carrying trade. Fiji
teen per cent. only was carried in Amer
lean vessels and per cent. on railroads.
OF that 5 psr cent. the American roads
carried the greatest part,
"Oi the exports 88 per cent. was
carried in foreign bottoms, and only 8
in American ships, so that the American
profit from this source was very small" {"
