national debt Of the United States

The national debt Of the United States
stood at the highest point In the coun-
trys history on August 81. 1855. being
$2,766,43l,57 the interest charge on
which was $15O,977.697. A report issued
by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
on January 81 showed that the total
net inde BIT edness Of the General Govern
mnet had been reduced to 81, 5,3S6.3S4.
of which $969.759.O .O90 was interest bear :
ing, and $145,627.3O4 vas non-interest
bearing.
Back in the days of the civil strife in
this country the per capita debt Jumped
to $76.98. but now stands at $1O45.
To realize in a measure what burden
will have to be born by the peoples OF
tho several European countries involved
in the great war now being waged, one
has simply to glance at the per capita
national debts for the leading European
nations before the war began. That OF
England was $685.. or within 63 cents
Of the per capita national debt OF the
United States at the close Of it's greatest
war; that OF France, $16026; that of
Germany. $17.S1. while Russia's debt
was $2702. The result of the war, FOR
tho financing OF which each of the coun-
tries engaged has already foated gi-
the share Of debt placed on each head.
The most notable development result
ing from the European war In the finan-
cial relations of the United States and
foreign countries within the past month
has been the remarkable decline of ex-
change rates, particularly London ex-
change, which fell to the lowest point
ever known when it touched 347s to the
pound sterling.
The number Of grains Of gold in the
sovereign. or pound sterling. makes II
equivalent in value to st,sG65 in the gold
coinage Of the United States. Theoret-
ically. English coin. full weight, can be
United States assay office. and that
rate realized.
Consequently under normal condi-
tions. where the pound sterling is rated
dinary shipping costs. gold should be-
gin to move from London to New York.
Today London owes New York, as is
shown by the exchange rates. but ship
ping conditions are such, with the high
rates OF insurance. that the cost of
transporting gold across the Atlantic
Is prohibitive.
Some gold has already come in from
ottawa, where the Bank of England
has considerable stock Of gold on
shipped there last fall from New York
and deposited to the credit of the great
British bank But the Bank of Eng
land does not care to give up gold now,
ana while, unless relieved by the min
istry. 1t is required to redeem its notes
over its counter at London. 1t IS not
required to redeem them at Ottawa.
Hence. it is not probable that much
gold will come to New York now. par
ticularly as the supply of gold in the
United states is plentiful at present.
The result of the low rate of ex-
change Is that a pound sterling will not
buy as much goods as formerly, but
while the British must pay more for
American goods. this country gets no
compensating advantage. the difference
under existing conditions being equiva-
lent to tax on commerce amounting
to an obstruction between America and
its customers.
