Washington, May 2O.-Advices received

" Al, ItIsSOl re rs.

From % comparative statement of the
resources of Spain and this country. as
bearing on their ability. respectively, To-
carry on war. we take the following fig
uras. Spain has u population of about
200lWJ. against the 10000, Of the
United States. SPANS revenue is este
mated 40 NiS010Oo. or some $2HoJrV
less than expenditures in normal years.
Last year her expenditures were }62ool-
coo in excess of her revenue. She has ace
cordinely been for years steadily IN
creasing her public debt. which is esti-
mated al N.Glgoo0.O0o with am annual I'M
tcrcst charge of over $lo0Go0ao
In 1897 the revenue Of the United States
was Sis0.3>1.l6s. on SlSeo0l0 less than eN-
pcnditures. This year the deficit will APP
proach S75o0,0o0 exclusive of the lump
sum of $I0,0eO1O appropriated for national
defence purposes. Until recently the debt
WAS decreased annually. I'm 1897 the into
rest-bearng debt OF the United States
was SSi7.36JI3). with an annual interest
charge Of $l3Sz3l5. This takes no &C.
count. however, of the debt of $3i6ltoUJ
duo holders of legal tenders, or green
backs. which bear no interest.
Spain. We are told. has reached about
the full limit Of her taX-bearing capacity
and her borrowing power is almost OK
hausted. our resources, on the contrary
afford q broad margin for new taxation,
and our credit is almost unlimited.
Certainly the showing is vastly in our
favor as regards the mere question of
ability TO provide the slnews Of war.
None the less, the array of figures on our
side makes "a strong argument for push

the southern troops all the burden and

fact the sgsestion came from General
