This Billion Dollar Country.
New York Times.l

Speaker Reed first discovered that
this was a billion dollar country He
made the discovery in relation to our
expenses. Secretary Redfield has
made the discovery anew, and in rela-
ton to our riches. He is a little pre-
ma ture, to be sure, but his discovery
is welcome nevertheless. He remarks
that this year our indicated credit ball
ance. or what "abroad" must pay us
on account of the excess of exports
above imports, will be about equal to
our national debt. That is not an en-
tire novelty in American finance.
Foreign chancelorS of the excheouer
are troubled with their deficits. 1t is
only the United States which is wor-
ried as a*rule, to which the present
year is an exception, by it's SURPRISES.
That is one reason why our govern
nent finance is so bad. If deficits
were a rule there would straightway
be a reasonable budget system, and
greater care in the levying of taxes,
and of spending money.
The secretary spends the billion
in his mind---as though it were the
governments. He reckons that it
would build two more Panama canals,
which, by the way, the country almost
paid for out of it's pocket money, a
sort of investment which it is not nee
essary to amortize. The years billion
excess of exports would pay the ag-
gregate debts of all the states, or the
debt of New York city, and Phiiadel-
phia' S thrown in.
It is a pleasant day dream. 1t would
be nightmare to think of the nation
setting out to spend that money. And,
after all, it is not the governments
money. It belongs to the people, who
would object to its being taxed away
from them, and who, nevertheless, are
being taxed for comparable sums
which are being spent not so wisely
that additional taxes would be well
come. There is no waste like raising
tax money for government expendi-
ture, and yet it constantly is support
ed on the idea that in some way there
is profit in providing funds for gov
eminent trading.
