The Public Accounts.

The Public Accounts of Canada for the year ending 30th June, 1878, were laid be- fore Parliament on the 17th inst. The total liabilities of the Dominion at the close of the year were $174,957 ,268.96, and the assets $34,595,199.05, making the debt on June 30th, 1878, $140,362,069,91, against $133,235,309.03 last year. This increase cf more than $7,000,000 has been caused by reductions in the assets of the Dominion, the Government deposits in banks having been decreased $3,274,006, and the amount in the hands of financial agents reduced $4,747,926.33 during the year. The rate of interest which the total liabilities of the Dominion bear was reduced from 4.08 per cent. to 4.05, and the inter- est accruing from the assets increased from 1.55 per cent. to 1.63 per cent. The aver age rate of interest paid on the net debt in 1878 was 4.65 per cent., against 4.85 per cent. in fiscal year 1877. 'T he expenditure of capital account in year ending June, 1878, was as follows : Miscellaneous public, $4,020,010.49 ; Pacific Railway, $2,228, 073.13 ; Intercolonial Railway, 3408, 816. 74 —making a total expenditure of + 6,657,- 200.36.

The expenditure on capital account was $469,560.52 less than the increase of the public debt during the year. The state- ment of receipts and expenditure during the last and preceding fiseal year is as fol- lows :—

The item of ‘‘ loans” in the revenue is made up of $903,166.00 invested in Do- minion stock and $7,427,379.54 deposited in Government Savings Banks; this amount is off-set on the expenditure side of the account by $1,738,745.25 for redemption of public debt and $6,400,997.02 withdrawn from Savings Banks. The expenditure on ‘open accounts” comprises the capital ex- penditure of $150,000 on improvements of the St. Lawrence, $6,657,200.36 on public works and $591,500 on investments. The expenditure on account of public works in: cludes $1,635,205.54 on St. Lawrence canals, $2,138,592.09 on Welland Canal, 2,228). $73.13 on Pacific and $408,816.74 on Inter’ colonial Railway.

These accounts, like preceding accounts, show that under the rule of the austere Re- formers the controllable expenditure never ceased to increase. They took office to re- form Tory extravagance, and the figures show that they exceeded it in every branclr of the service, not by ‘‘a few dollars here and there,” as the Globe pleaded, but by thousands and tens of thonsands of dollars.

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in the hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thou- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For %9 all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- chee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi-

cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of ita wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single” failure known.
