Ateran las Cifras de Ia Deuda NaeionaI

Y 10 que tiene realmente de nocivo esa
enorme cifra es que el estado tiene que pagan
intereses todos los amos a los tenedores de
los titulos de la deuda.
FL tesoro debe pagan durante Ell actual
e~jercicio fiscal 5000. 5000 200 de d6lares por
concepto de intereses. ESQ equivale cast a
la mitad del total de la deuda nacional de
hace 80 amos. Los intereses pagados durante

de dolares.
Pero ESQ no es NADIA 81 Sc compare con

Ell interes seria en- ese case de 144000.-
OO0.O 900 de d6Iares anuales IN 1889. Con la
mitad de ese dinero, tiene Ell %gobierno en- la
actualidad 10 suficiente para cubrir todas
sus necesidades; Y ESQ, que Ell %gobierno gasta
ahora enormes cantidades.
Pero Sc pueden hacer varias cosas para
impedir que la deuda ~nacional aumente en-

Una combination de esos dos proceed
mientos seria probablemente mas eficaz que
