The national debt of Spain is equiv
alent to one-fifth Of the whole wealth
OF the kingdom, or ninety-four dollars
per capita. The annual interest is six
dollars per capita. The debt Of the
United States is less than one-one-
hundred-and-ff Of our wealth,
and the interest is but fifty-three
cents to each OF our population. Our
total valuation in 1890 was one thou
sand and thirty-s'v dollars per capita;
theirs only four huhdred and sixty
dollars. This means that the people
of Spain are taxed on their debt alone
nearly twelve times as high as we,
with little more than two-fifths the
means to pay. II we measure their
burden by their financial strength, it
is nearly thirty times as heavy as ours.
Unhappy Spain. the victim OF incom-
pesent and dishonest rulers, and OF
cruel colonial policy which has. ex-
hausted its home resources!

A man OF sound judgment is not di-
verted from the truth by the strength
Of immediate impression. He decides
with unbiased impartiality, never
suffering any passion to interfere with
the love Of truth. He does not form
hasty opinion. He is not tenacious
in retaining an opinion when formed
''he is never ashamed OF being wiser

Do we want the civilization OF the
Portuguese, for they have the gold
standard? The truth Is that there arc
many things which determine the CIV
ilization Of nation. the most impor-
tant of any being climate; and appre-
hend that there Is no danger OF BRING
Ing the climate Of Mexico to the Unit
ed States. But these silver-standard
nations, compared to their former con-
dition OF five years past, are marvel
ously advanced. In the last five years
the exports of Mexico have increased
more than so per cent. The numoer
OF manufactures in Japan and Mexico
nave more than doubled, and the rail-
road building in every silver-standaro
country has been increasing enor-
mously, while in the gold standard
countries, instead of an increase or
manufactures, there has been, during
these FIVE years. a shutting down anu
closing of them to an extent unknown
before in the history OF the nation.
1t is true that on account OF the fam
inc in India. the shortage of crops IN
Europe. and the war between The Unit
ed States and SPAN there has, In the
last eighteen months, been an upward
tendency in the price of some commo-
dities. but when conditions become
normal the same low prices must again
prevail. These silver-standard coun-
tries. by reason OF the increase in their
commerce and manufactures, are IN
need more and more Of q greater
circulating medium, and consequently
it becomes pertinent to inquire wheth-
er nations having such need for in
crease o. money can easily yield up
any quantity of money they have now
for the purpose OF bringing it to our
mints for coinage into American dol
lars When we look into the monetary
statistics of those countries, we are
struck with the fact that they have
entirely too small q circulating me-
dunn for their own use to be able to
part with any Of their money. Mexico
has a circulating medium of but SAT-
per capita. Japan but s409 pei capita,
! the Central American states but 1918
per capita and China but S2.0S per cap
| ita. while the United States have a
circulation. according to the statement
OF the Secretary Of the Treasury, OF 324
per capita. and France has a circula-
ting medium Of nearly $40 for each
| inhabitant. Is 1t possible that those
| silver-standard countries with a short
age OF circulating medium now would
be willing to part with that circulat-
ing medium in order to food the Unit
ed States with silver? Why. IL Mexico
should send all her silver here. 1t would
be but bagatelle. The total circulat-
ing medium Of Mexico in 1895 was bur
50.00o roo. and that is only about one
fourteenth part OF the demand caused
by the withdrawal of the s6e6 O'O .O0U
