The Graded schooI-An Auspicious

The public school opened cheerily
Monday morning with 80 pupils IN
attendance and many more to follow.
The principal, Prof. Scott, and his
teachers we're all in their proper
places and everything was as suspicious
as was possible with the annex
unfinished. Prof. Scott called upon
Rev. G.. W. Crisler to oren the
exercises with prayer, after U"irh Rev
NJ. l.. Burton, of WhitwoIth. made
a most acceptable address, which
was followed by Rev. &. W. Girls.
Ter. Mr.. Willard Seavey, who also
occupied chair on the rostrum
was then called upon for remarks
as representative of the Board
of Control, but declined in few
graceful words. 4 former principal
we'll and pleasantly remembered
by our people, Mr.. H. ID. Wilson, gave
an address, appropriate and eloquent
in its indebtedness and sincerity
which was followed by The LEADERS
editor in few imprOmptu remarks
after which Mr.. J. G. Devereux, or
the part of the bar of the town, in a
brief discourse, distinguished for it,
congruity, brightness, and originality
of thought, not only gained the atten.
ton of the children but entertained
the interested visitors present.
The building will be very much
crowded until the annex is completed
which is yet several weeks off, though
the work is being pushed by Contrac-
tor Tedford with all possible dispatch
Until then it is proposed to hold the
daily sessions from a. m. to p. m.
The present term promises to be the
most successful and satisfactory liz

THE PUZZLE OF ECONOMISTS.
Free Traders Would Reduce Trade Bal
ances by lamentations

Free Traders Would Reduce Trade Bal
ances by Importations-
The newest puzzle for those who are
called economists is the outcome of
the Republican policy which, in three
years, has enabled us to sell the rest
of the world 81 ,S19, S25, $40 more than
we purchased during the three years
which ended June 80, 1900, to which
must be added $3.50, 0OO, 900 for the ifs
cal year which will end with next
June After they have accounted for
all of this cash debt which the rest
Of the world owes has owed us,
they find that a large portion of it has
not been paid, but has been loaned
abroad. Economists, they are
called, often arrive at peculiar con-
illusions, but thus far one of them
has expressed the opinion that Amer
leans are giving foreigners the world
over hundreds of millions of dollars
annually The puzzle is, how is Eu-
rope to iQuidate the indeterminate
amount of money standing to our
credit? One of them, who is a Free
Trader, suggests that the only way
the volume of our exports can be
mainta ined is to SO adjust our Tariff
that Europe can iquidate much
larger portion of the favorable trade
balance by selling us merchandise
which we are now manufacturing at
home in sufficient quantities to abund-
ant1y supply the home market This
means that must close our fac
tories of certain lines of merchandise
and turn their employees to id1eness
and their families to want in order to
enable foreign nations to pay the
trade balance in merchandise. That
would be economics with vengeance.
There is reason to believe that there
is no present cause for fear about the
inability of Europe to pay what it
owes. During nearly hundred years
the trade balance of the world was
against the United States. 1t was not
large amount each year, but it was
from S15,0O0,OO0 to $50, 900, 900 an
nualIy-enough to drain all the bull
lion the country produced and much
of the cotton. For years this drain
upon the contribution of this country
to the worlds stock of precious metals
made money scarce and the rates of
interest much higher than those of
Europe For years we purchased most
of our iron. woolens, glass, crockery,
etc, in Europe, and paid them out of
| the money, stock and materials that
should have been kept at home Now
the situation has changed Under the
Republican policy the country came
/ to produce in abundance the articles
we used to make an adverse balance
of trade by buying. For years we
! paid high rates of interest on this
amount of our Indebtedness for goods
purchased abroad over the value of
those we sold. Then we were a debt
or ration and paid the penalty of such
disadvantage, and would be paying it
| now if the self-sty1ed economists
could have their way. Now we have
become the worlds creditor nation.
! If our debtors cannot pay at once let
| them pay interest, as did the United
States.-Indianapolis Journal

FRANK DoNAHUE IN TOWN.

The Winning National League Pitcher
 is Spending Few Days at Home.
 Frank Donahue looking as hale and hearty as the best thoroughbred ar rived in Waterbury yesterday after noon and will remain here seeing his friends and relatives for few days. Hd is in the pink of condition and never looked better in his life He would not discuss very much the pres ent baseball muddle as he still cher ishes kind feelings for many of the National league managers. This is particularly true of Manager Shettsline of the Philadelphia team. Donahue was the last of that great team of ball players to desert the National league and perhaps no better or greater team of players will ever be gotten together again. He said today that he held to the old ship until he saw all his comrades deserting him and finally he yielded to the demands made for him and signed a contract to play with the St Louis American league team next season. He will receive a salary that will save him in two years nearly So,OOO. It was an offer he could not very well refuse and the Philadelphia
 
 National league team is now almost deserted. When asked about the muddle and the fight between Al Spalding and Andrew Freedman, Don- ahue said he believed Spalding would win. He had everything in his hands and he had no doubt of the result. The American league, he said, would be the strongest league next season that has been presented to the public for years In all probability the fight among the leagues would last for year or two, but in the end Donahue thought the leagues would combine and the salary question would be fixed for all time. That was one of the reasons why the professional ball players were making hay while the sun shines and why all the best National leaguers were de- serting to the American and taking the big salaries offered.
