We would say a word here of the
work being accomplished silently,
though surely, by the State board of
trade. A few of the material-and
very material-benetits which have
already resulted from the work of
the board, were mentioned by Presi-
dent Lord in his speech at the ban
quet. But the greatest work which
is being accomplished, on the i'm
portance of which President Lord laid
the greatest emphasis, and in which
he was seconded by Senator Hale and
other speakers, is the change in SEN
timent regarding the resources OF the
State, and the consequent investment
at home of Maine capital and keep
ing at home of Maine brain and
Drawn which in past years have flowed
out of the State in constant stream.
That the State of Maine has so we'll
withstood such facilitating drain,
is in itself eloquent testimony to the
vitality of the State and the wealth
of iss resources, and cheerful au

Camphor is mostly produced in
Japan, Formosa, and some parts of
China and the Philippines. Secretary
Wilson, the head of the department
of agriculture, proposes TO give the
citizens of the gulf states an opportu-
nifty to experiment in this line. He is
preparing to distribute camphor- tree
slips to that section, and is thus likely
to add another important industry to
those of the agricultural element.

What striking resemblance there
is between 1896 and 1897 and the years
of our Lord ISIS and 1s79.i' writes
Speaker Reed. In ISIS the air was
resonant with denunciations Of the
wicked men who would not issue all
the greenbacks which a suffering
people demanded. John Sherman
was denounced on all hands, Samuel
J. Tilden declared that only vast
central reservoir OF coin could protect
Us against the failure OF the proposed
return to specie payments in 1879.
The farmer was at his worst, ruined,
destroyed, eaten up by taxes and
usury. Down almost To the very day
Of resumption the croaking came with
dismal and damnable iteration. When
the LIST OF January came no crowds
thronged the sub-treasury corridors

Another proof OF the generally i'm
proved business conditions is found in
the enormous increase in the output
OF pig-iron. When business generally
is good the demand for iron is good.
1t enters into the production of
articles for the farm, for railroads, for
building, for sea going vessels, and
almost every business enterprise, and
has rightly been denominated bust
ness barometer. In October Of last
year the weekly production of pig
iron in the United States averaged
H., 900 tons. The average weekly
output for September of this year will
average about 1870 600 tons. That is
the difference between protection
business and free trade idleness, pro-
lection prosperity and free trade ad
versity.

preparation was cut $50 for the sake Of
appearances, and the assistants assured
the principal at the beginning of the year
that they would, not submit to any reduc-
ton 'aof their wages Accordingly the
school year was cut 50 weeks and the
rate of wages was preserved, but Mr. Cor

meration and district book SO. Total,
STOP The number enumerated last Oc-
ftober was lS9. The law allows the COM
mittee 81 for the first 50 enumerated and
three cents. for each over that number,
which would amount to 50. 40 for enumer-
sting, and the district book, in which to
write the names infer, would cost s6.5l.

And it, is, q noticeable fact
that the secretary Of the board of school
visitors has for several years reported
the average wages as SEQ per month, the
surplus evidently went. into the lump,
each year. and was not accounted for un-
der its proper head.
Now as to the relative size of the
school, In 1875, before the paroehial
schools opened, the largest number reg
istered was 1u5, and the largest average
attendance for one term 697. Last year,
'96-'97, the largest number registered was
&C. (and several of them from other dis
tricts.) and the average, attendance was
about 40. a difference. of 30 in the num-
Der registered, and d difference of 20 in
the averageattendante, and there is good
reason to Believe that Che difference will
be still greater next, year, especially if
Miss I4illis and Miss Briscoe are to be
thrust out. u'= '.,o,s
Why then should the Sandy Hook
schooI with TWO departments Of 30 pupils
each, more or less, pay its teachers, men
or women more than the teachers, men
or women, are paid in Huntingtown with
its "a pupils, Taunton with its 81, and
Lands End with its 89ehildren? Is there
any different work done? No. Is there
any better el work done, No. In fact the
two teachers in the Sandy Hook school,
graded, will have the advantage over all
the other teachers in, the town, at the
same rate of wages, because the work is
in two grades instead of one. What rea-
son then has the Sandy Hook school to
