C t gaiUj &$Mm. ASTOBIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY.. -JUNE 28.18S7 FOREIGN FINANCES. It has long been the custom in Europe to ridicule American ideas of national finance, and to swear at our notions as crudo and un scientific. We have been called tyros and schoolboys, theorists and experimenters, blunderers and idiots, and all sorts of calamities have been predicted for us; but all toe while we have been getting richer . and "more powerful, estab lishing our credit on a firmer basis and reducing our debt in a manner unparallelled in the history of the world. But how is it abroad, in those countries where the masters of financial science are at the head of affairs? How do the results of their purely scientific methods compare with our honest, though blundering attempts to carry on tne government on a sound hnan cial basis? Let us see. In 1886 Germany ran behind $12,500,000; Austria-Hungary has a standing deficiency of $16,250, 000; Russia is trying to find a balance on the wrong side of her ledger of about $50,000,000; France is going behind about $20, 000,000 each year, and Great Britain manages to make income and outgo about balance only by stopping payments on its national debt. The United States has a surplus of $100,000,000 and up ward every year, and that with lighter taxation by far than any of the European nations mentioned. There must be some good points in our clumsy financiering, even if it does not correspond to the rules fulminated in the older countries. The difference between legis lating for a rich and prosperous nation and for one where every thing must be strained to make both ends meet is exemplied by the action of the recent congress of the United States, and the action and Der- plexities of the reichstag of Ger many. Congress was trying in every legitimate way to ' get rid of the surplus and to prevent the treasury from over , . flowing. Germany is straining every nerve to increase the reve nue of the government without making individual burdens too heavy to be borne. We are suf fering from too much money, they .from too little. It is just the same in England and France. Every item of the budget is scrutinized and exam ined, turned this way and that, de bated and discussed, to see whether a little more revenue cannot be squeezed out of this or that with out entirely destroying the source of such revenue. Straw after straw is piled upon the back of the pa tient camel, while the leaders of .the caravan stand anxiously by lest the proverbial last straw shall be added and the poor animal sink beneath his load. ' We presume that governments are like other kinds of business. It is & good deal easier to conduct a business where a stock is paid for, credit is excellent and there is a comfortable balance in the bank than where the firm is expecting w the arrival of the sheriff, or is i.y ing kites all the time, and is stretohing its credit to the utmost. The business of the former mav not have the style or finish of the latter, but it hardly lies in the mouth of a bankrupt storekeeper to tell his well-to-do neighbor that he knows nothing about the prin ciples of business and that his methods are crude and unscientific. The test of the value of a method is success, and when the "Rnrnnoor. ! nations succeed in doing finan cially what we have done and are doing, it will be time for them to tell us that we should take lessons in finance from them. FOREIGN SALHON SHIPMENTS. The outgoing San Francisco steam ertook 300 cases salmon yesterday, 190 sacks oysters, and a large quan- xtyv?,ioth shooks, and fir lumber ior building purposes. TheSonFran oisoo salmon shipments from the Columbia river have fallen off greatly snipments have correspondingly in creased. Where thousands of cases jou luoanjjTanoisoo now go hun dreds; but the daily overland ship mpenk are lrm Bix to eight carloads or 32o cases each. The English ui canons win also be corre spondingly light this season. None hasbeen as yet sent away. There are 32,000 cases loaded on the Warwick Castle and Glenavon, both of which the VtUallta and Yarkand, will doubtless take all the salmon shipped from the Columbia to Liverpool or JLonaon this year. xne snipments of salmon from Astoria to England in May, '81, were 12,400 cases; m June of that year, 56,413 cases; July, 83,586; August 59.403.
