stood at only $77,4s6,000. Public conf
dence in these first United States secur-
tiles was created and there began an
active speculative trading in them. This
was wholly to Hamilton's satisfaction.
He knew that if the people were enough
interested in bonds of the new Republic
to trade in them a market existed. That
was what he wanted: that was what
the new Government needed. Ind1f1er-
ence alone could have defeated his plan.
Along with these constructive financ-
ing measures Hamilton, as Secretary OF
the Treasury, also was wrestling with
the problem of Federal taxatlon-a
problem far greater than it is today.
Only the most indirect and invisible
taxes would be tolerated by the proud
citizens of the sovereign States, who
yet were jealous of the central author
ity. The strictest economy must be
exercised, the most adroit measures OF
taxation. Hamilton adjusted taxes to
the end that business should feel the
least possible restraint,
Again appears the parallel with the
policy of Mr.. Mellon. whose measures
looking toward a minimum tax on bust
ness. coupled with rigid economy. have
made his administration of the Treas
ury portfolio SO conSpicuouSly success
full. 1t may be something of a curiosity
to note that the first budget of the
Federal Government called for only
81 839 900. and OF this sum all but
$780, 900 was for payment of interest
and amortization of the public debt.
1t was not long before the entire debt

BY FREDERIC 7. HAsKIN.

F-H3miltOn and Our First War Dent.
The oft-repeated statement by his
admirers that Andrew w. Mellon is the
greatest Secretary of the Treasury since
Alexander Hamilton may or may not be
the final judgment OF history, but 1t Is
not a catch phrase idly coined. 1t has
it's basis in the fact that many points
of similarity exist between the Federal
financial problems which the first Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the present
one faced Hamilton faced the problem
of setting up the finances of wholly
new republic and rehabilitating its
credit in the wake of destructive war.
Mellon faced the problem of adjusting
the finances of the Nation to the new
economic and industrial era which
opened following the World War and
of adapting the composition of the pub
lie debt TO the circumstances which
Swallowed that conflict. The comparl-
son, therefore. was not accidental; 1t
was irresistible.
Today it seems difficult to realize
that to Hamilton's fiscal policy quite
possibly is due the existence of the Re-
public. There was in his day very
substantial party which wanted king
for the United Colonies. which had just
won their independence from Great
Britain There Is strong evidence mat
John Adams sought u throne. We know
that Washington was offered one. Aaron
Burr assuredly would not have put
aside a crown. Indeed he risked much
for one.
1t was Hamilton who prevented this
in large measure by impresSing his
financial policy upon the infant Re
public.
Cut Per Capita Debt.
At the close of the War of the Amer
lean Revolution the national debt was
$50 900 900, principal and interest. This
was a per capita debt Of $40. At the
outbreak of the World War the per
capita debt was Sill. At its peak 1t was
1928 Today it is down to $142.
Economic conditions were such that
debt of $40 per capita seemed enor-
nous. especially in view of the exhaus-
ton the Revolutionary War had brought
to everything but the vast natural re-
sources of the Nation. Much of this
indebtedness had been created by indi-
vidual colonies on their own credit.
The Northern States owed much more
than the Southern ones, which were
