Their natiotial debt per capita is about 488 pesetas, or $94 in American ruoney. Mulhall a few years ago estimated the wealth of Spain at about $455 per capita; perhaps by this time it could be placed at $4430. The per capita debt of the Spanish government, therefore, is more than 20 per cent of the per capita wealth- efethe entire na- tiou. The debt of the United States govern- ment, which in 1866 amounted to$2,- 750,000,000, stood in January, 11498, at (net) $1,011,701,338.64, including the greeubacks. This would be a per capita indebtedness of about $14. The per cap- ita wealth of the United States was, in 1890, $1,038; now it is of course great- er, but even on the 1890 basis the per capita indebtedness of the government today antirrnits to only 1 ti per oent of the per capita wealth of the nation. ,The per capita intorest charge on this debt amounted in 1598-7 to about 53 cents; in Spain the annual cost of the public debt is nearly $6 per capita - Glutton's Magazine. modetion available was the temporary the foreigners with a cheer.
