Does our goverament manage Its Mnancial affairs with less skill than others? Have we exhausted our most fertile sources of revenue? Do we pay too much for its collection? Where can we improve our financial management? Can the United States debt be paid? Willis be paid? That your readers tn’ discussing the subject may Nave some authentic data on which to base thelr opinions I have taken the trouble to collate from tie proper sources the facts in regard to the various countries of Europe.
