The Committee on Patents has report.
ed a bill to the House appropriating

than any other 'mom or department of

ment of our industries, in enabling us to
ettain our present unequaled prosperity
in the field of the induatrial note and

The present surplus ie plaoed by
treasurer Rosa at 56,427,000. A detail-
ed account was published the other day.
there can be no doubt that this is a am -
mot statement of the surplus as it au.
tuelly exists. At the same time Mr.
Rom credits the province with items of
lominion account which were not in•
eluded in the surplue in 1872 or prior to
1873. He make1 the total amount doe
ram the Dominion to the province 55,-
126,000, whereas 111 1870 all that wits
seemed, inouding the valne of the

once of 52,110,000 is deducted from the

atiou pursued in 1873. Considerine tho
