We were the creditor nation of tend of over 660,000,000, ineladin yet the balance of g ld we received in excess o only £12.400,000. How has the balance of 660,000,000 been ad pasted? Quite recently Mr. N, T. Bacon, in the “Yale Review.” undertook to investigate this subject in giving the results of researches he had made, He estimated that the net foreign indebtenesds of the United States last year amounted to 82,530,000,000 have to pay net annual interest amounting to $00,000,000; that $50. 000,000 is spent each year by American travelers, and that 10,000,000 is taken over there every year by those who expatriate themselves, He allows $50,000,000 more to vover all contingencies, and concludes that our annual remittance across the water are 2200000000. This leaves a big balance to be explained. It would reduce the apparent foreign debt 10 the Uuited States on last year's commerce to over £400,000,000, Our old bonded indebtedness to Europe has been greatly reduced by the return of American securities, but Earopean capitalists still have large and increasing holdings of real and personal property in the Unit. ed States, and it is estimated we pay foreign shipping that carries our gommerceo at leased $100,000,000 a year. Bat with all these set-offs it it is evident a considerable proportion of our excess of exports is allow. ec to remain in Europe for purposes of investment. That is the only explanation. It is an uprecorded debt and its amount mast be guessed ie 3 gz silver in our merchandise ! exports, ¢ i our gold exports wos | t i Lo | | On this Mr. Bacon figures out we!
