THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

The Chamber of Commerce at it's
meeting yesterday appointed Messrs.

This is q sensible course to pursue,
because it must be evident to every
thinking person that the welfare and
prosperity of the Kingdom depends
in great measure upon the adjustment
of the misunderstanding regarding
the currency. Although nothing de-
finite has as yet been done, we are
justified in saying that the conditions
