Whilo undor tho oporation of tl jo Sinking Fund, tho fundod debt >f Great Britain is flonsibly diminishing, tho unfundod dobt has shown such a tonclonoy to inorcaso that tho net total of our national liabilities now is only a quartor of a million loss than it woo flvo years aRO. Tho roporfc of tho Publio Works Loan Board for 1877»8 explains tho reason. Xhat B,oard is authorised- and indood dirootod— to mako advancos to looal bodios for useful publio works at ratos lower than tho roarkot rates. Looal bodios havo r«s» pondod roadily. Tho sum bonowod in 1887 was £773,887 j in 1874, £2,071,848 j in 1878, £4,306,524. That sohool boards, prison boards, and othor nponding bodioa should havo holp in mooting tho rosponsibis lities whioh rooont legislation has thrust upon thorn is reasonable onough j but tho visit of loss, tho embarrassing relations that must ariso, and thodisturling effcot of an indoflnito oxpanßion of tho floating dobt aro causos for aotao anxioty.
