The latest treasury reports show that the ami initiation of g'.M is greater than ever in our history and exceeds that of any other nation. Ii now amounts to $544,824, 720. The rational debt, which the Spanish war inrreased to $1,04(1,049,020, lias since been reduced (o the extent of $140,570, 204. The credit of the country, meas ured by the quotation of its bouds, is tiigherthan that of any1 European na tion. United SUtes two. three nnt f nr per centp. sell at 108, 109, and 111, respectively, while British consols are quoted at 93 and German three per cents, at 89. Interest on the public debt lias been reduced $0,100,000 in round numbers. JJraJstreet reports the general busi ness o( 1901 as a record-breaker, in spite of various drawbacks, such as stiikeg, short corn, cotton, and oat crops, the failure of several badly managed combi nations, and the assassination of the President. Bank clearings will be $118,- 600,000,000 a gain of 38 per cent, over last year and of 20 per cent, over 1899. The failures of the year show $130,000, 000 aggregate liabilities and $63,300,000 assets, representing a small inoease Considering Porto Rico and Hawaii as American territory, expor's are estimated at $l,43.j,OCO,000, or one per cent, below last yea'. Imports have gained some what, and will aggregate $375,000,000, leaving the balance of domestic exports over imports not far from $509,000,000. The reports for November do not in dicate any serious falling off. Imports were $72,497,249, as against $05,354,040 in November, 1900. Exports were $136, 611,703. as against $130,702,324 a year before. The favorable trade balance for November, 1901, is $04,014,514. The United States has become the largest exporter among the nations. The total in 1900 being $1,453,013,659. England was second and Germany third. In the last fiscal year our excess of ex ports over imports was $054,592,826, and in the four years ending June 30, 1901, the exeeBg of exports was $2,354,442,213, as against an excess of only $350,808,822 in the entire period from 1790 to June 30, 1897. The total wealth of the United States is estimated at present at $94, 300,000,000, making the per capita wealth $1,235.80. In 1350 it was $307.69. The enormous growth of the country in wealth and trade is attributable to the possession of the best natural facilities for production, the largest opportunities, the greatest natural skill, and the most favorable conditions for dealing in the markets of the world. latum and by obstructive and unlawful methods plunged the legislature and its attendant work Into a state of anarchy.
