NAMES BIG DEBT.
Owes Government Nearly Million
but Won't be Asked to Pay It.

y
Few Maine people realize that the State
owes the national government the stu
pendous sum OF s965 SIS rs. And yet &C.
cording to the record, this statement Is
fact. How II happened that the state Of
Maine became indebted to the United
States In this smount Is explained by
| Hon. Henry s. Boutell, member Of Con-
gress from Illinois. in an article published
\ in the October number OF the Forum.
| Many OF the older residents OF the State
remember how, in 1887, the surplus In the
United States treasury, on account OF the
increased income from the tariff and the
sale OF public lands, had reached the
amount OF s42, ass, $50 81. The government
at that time concluded that surplus OF
SIS 000, 900 WIS sufficient for all public
needs, and that the balance should be
withdrawn from the banks and deposited
with the twenty-six states then constitute
| ing the Union. There had been many
| defalcations and shortages In the banks
| holding the government deposits and IL
was thought that the money would be
much safer IL placed in the treasures of
the various states than II 1t remained in
the vaults of the banks.
Many propositions were discussed
looking to the disposition OF the surplus,
ana finally 1t was determined by act Of
| Congress. approved June %, 1896, to de-
post the same with the treasurers OF the
different states, to be repaid to the nat
ional government on demand. This act
| provided that the balance in the treasury
on Jan. 1. 1887. after reserying 5000 900,
should be deposited pro rata, according
| TO their representation in Congress. with
those states which should by law author
| i've their treasnrer tn receive the deposits
and rive RECENT therefor. pIedpipg the
| faith of the state to repay the same at any
time upon the demand of the secretary OF
the treasury. These deposits were maid in
| four indictments. on the first dsy of Jan.
usry. April. July and October. 1897.
| On Jan. 1. 1897. the balance In the
national treasury, over and above the
IS 900 600 reserve. was s37. sss s5a.s7. This
sum was denosited with the states. All
the twenty-six states accented the de-
posits under the conditions above stated /.
and the first three instruments were maid
in full. The money paid out In the three
installmepts amounted to s2s 1n1 ga e1. of
which the State of Maine received the
sum of sa55 s3s o.
