our next meeting. which will occur next Saturday.
We have. OF course choose a number OF minor

Is rather perplexing matter. We have a large
number OF applicants for that Office including many
excellent and experienced gentlemen. Inasmuch as
many of the original documents to which we shall
have access are in Spanish and Dutch. it is prefer

Commission should be linguist

WHY GOLD GOES ABROAD.

When the barriers Of McKinleyism were partially

benefited by this change. as the trade and naviga-
ton returns of the United Kingdom very clearly eX-
hibit. For the eleven months OF 1885 for which We
have the figures. the United States have taken
nearly six millions sterling worth OF woJllcn and
wOrted tissues from us, as compared with less than
a million and halfs worth last year and not much
more than two ana quarter millions worth Inc
year before. gap produced by the long suspense
of the tariff question had to be filled up and the
enlarged market opened by the reduced tariff further
Increased the buying. To less extern the same
phenomena were discerniblc elsewhere and the
broad general result was that at the very time when
the States finding the markets for their own
productions restricted Improbable abroad. they
saw foreign goods pouring in upon them In an aug
mcntng volume. They therefore had more 10 pay
and less TO receive. and. they also owed great
deal OF money abroad. their foreign exchange mar
ket became permanently adverse. Shipments OF
gold TO Europe were soon the order of the day to
