Some idea of the magnitude of the
burden resting Upon the Spanish peo
pie can be gained by comparison
with our own situation. Their ma
tions' debt per capita is about S94 in
American money, being more than 20
per cent. of the per capita wealth of
the entire nation In the United
States the per capita Indebtedness is
about Sl4, or only about J per cent.
of the per capita wealth of the nation.
In Spain the annual interest of the
public debt is nearly $6 per cspita !;
in the United States it is only about
SO cents.
