FLOODS OF GOLD TO US.

One year ago. when gold was going
out OF this country in every fast
steamer that left our shores bound
across the Atlantic, the whole nation
ouivered with the excitement OF It,
though the public did not yet dream
of the war which was to burst at the
end Of July. To get gold Europe was
selling here and selling desperately
anything that could be rushed to our
market. from MERCHANDISE. stocks and
bonds almost to family plate. Today
all Europe is buying in the United
States more urgently than a year ago
it was selling. And now gold comes
flooding into this country in a greater
volume than it left US II months ago.

According to estimate furnished by
the Baltimore revenue offices where
are collected the figures OF the internal
revenues from all sources, including
ordinary receipts, war emergency tar
and income tax, the loss Of revenue
from the sale Of spirit stamps in West
Virginia has a great deal to do With
the falling of OF collections during the
past year. The wal tax. however,
makes up for the loss on spirit stamps.
The collections for last year, prior to
the imposition Of the war emergency
tax. were about $4,000 900. A falling
of OF nearly a million dollars In re
ceipts from the sale Of spirit stamps
is noted in this district. The loss Of
revenue is attributed by the Office to
the prohibition laws in West Virginia
and to the gallon-a.month law on tbs
eastern shore Of Maryland. The de
