The foreign debt contracted in 1871 and 1872, in England, against the will of the nation, has been disastrous to it. It amounts to £2,000,000 in five per cent. debentures. Lately an arrangement was made under which the amortization of this debt will begin in 1917, instead of 1898, and with £10,000 per year, instead of £20,000. The government is also authorized to buy in its own bonds for their immediate liquidation.
