Spabs'e Debt and Onns.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
burden resting upon the Spanish people
0511 be gained by a comparison with onr
own situation. 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 -
