If the persistent efforts of the gold
bug orators and press could have
deceived the people, the recent
quarterly report of Dun d Co.'S,
Commercial Agency would have
been sore surprise and sad disap-
pointment to them. We have been
told time without number by the
aforesaid oddities that good times"
were rushing in upon us, nolens
volens, and despite the calamity
howlers" and free silver cranks."
How far their calculations were
wrong and how little credence may
be given their utterauces in the
future, may be measured by the
wide difference between what they
have said and what is the truth.
From Dun's report we learn that
"the first quarter of 1896 presents the
largest list of actual commercial and
industrial failures in business in the
United States-thOse in which
liabilities exceed assets-ever re-
ported for like period. The total,
including financial institutions, is
4,5l2, or 700 more than like portion
of 1895. Liabilities of those failing
this year amount to $62, 5l3, 900, an in
crease Of 30 per cent as compared with
year ago. Wheat, -four, cotton, wool
print cloths and rye are substantial
ly unchanged, but oats, barley, pork
lard, butter and cheese, all are low
er, as is coffee. The movement Of
dry goods from iobbers' hands ha:
not improved. Wool is dull and de-
pressed, and some men's-wear mills
in New England and in Pennsyl
vania have closed. Less encourage
ment appears in the boot and shoe
trade, as buyers hesitate, though
! leather is still firmly held. Th'
wooden manufacture does not gail
in orders, and large part of tn,
machinery is stopped. Prices o
wool have fallen ~ per cent, thu
average of lO4 quotations being 1875
cents. Cotton mills still pile III
goods in advance of orders, as reduc
tons in prices have failed as yet t,
stimulate buying. Speculation il
products has been tame. COttOi
continues to come forward largely
the former predictions of $4,000
bales are remembered with derisiOr
and the outlook for the next Gro
continues good.

Two Easter Sundays.

1t seems we had two casters this
29th was Easter on the
Pacific slope-last Sunday was East
er in this longitude. The eXplana-
ton is found below: The first full
moon after the spring equinox put in
an appearance on the Pacific slope
shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday
night, March 2Sth, and it is fact
that the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the spring equinox
is Easter Sunday the world over.
But in this peculiar case, said to be
the first instance of the kind since
the beginning of the christian era,
only the Pacific slope had its Easter
Sunday a week in advance of the
rest of the world.

RAINS, THE DRUGGIST.

The Tennessee Centennial, so
called, is a missioner. 1t is not a
State affair, in any sense of the word.
Congress has twice refused to recog-
nize it as such, and the Tennessee
Legislature positively refused to aid,
foster or encourage it. 1t has not
only been denied by the State, but
when the time comes will not repre-
sent half the counties or one-tenth
of the products or industries of Ten
nessee. 1t is simply and purely the
adventurous speculation of a few
men, and instead of helping Ten
nessee will injure it, in that it will
be a disappointment to visitors who
may come from a distance expecting
to see something. These adventur-
ers, therefore, should he enjoined for
using the misleading name. We
protest, also, against Maury County
being misrepresented at this Cheap
John affair. If it were well for
Maury to be represented there at all,
our County Court and City Council
and business men-whom we think
the proper ones to attend to such bust
ness matters-would see to it that
our display was in keeping with the
size, dignity, wealth, enterprise and
progressiveness of Maury. But
since these custodians of the
county's best interests are nearly
unanimous against any exhibit, we
protest against any room or corner
being festooned with flowers and
curtained off to Maury. That would
do to Maury the same injustice that
the Centennial "a year belated.
would do to the State, a surprise to
all visitors and a modification to all
friends. If there are those who wish
to make private exhibits, let them
do so in their own name. But none
have the right to use the name Of
Maury while nine-tenths of its peo
pie are saying no.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR MUST TALK.
The HERALD is for Ex-Governor
Robt.L. Taylor for a third term, If
he will talk and talk right; but we
are against him if he don't talk, or
talks wrong; and we are compelled
to confess that we are disappointed
at his continued silence. There must
be wanting in him either lack of
candor or conviction, and certainly
the proud office of Governor of Ten
nessee should not seek a man who
lacks either.
The people have taken it for
granted that Governor Taylor is for
the free coinage of silver because he
has made silver speeches in the past.
But they should remember that John
Griffin Carlisle has done as well,
and Josiah Patterson has done the
same. 1t is not what Mr.. Taylor
said two or three or four years ago,
but what he thinks now. If he
thinks now as he talked then, why
don't he talk now as he thought
then? Is he hating between two
opinions? If he is, the people should
come to a dead halt before they re-
nominate him. Is he straddler?
If he is, relegate him to the rear,
where all straddlers must go this
year. Is ne for the free coinage of
silver and gold at the ratio of Is to
|, independent of all other nations
of the earth? Then let him say so.
If he is not, then we don't want him
as our nominee.
Bob Taylor is the most popular
man in Tennessee to-day. But if he
undertakes to dodge or straddle this
question. the unanimous nomination
of the biggest Democratic conven-
ton ever held in Tennessee couldn't
save him from overwhelming de-
feat. ~ .s...
The people were for him and are
yet for him because they believe he
is with them. But they are begin
ming already to ask questions and
show uneasiness, and by his refusal
or failure to declare himself he has
lost five thousand votes in the last
thirty days, and the longer he plays
the dummy the weaker he will grow
until the first thing Mr.. Taylor
knows the people will be DESERVING
his ranks faster than he can count
them.
The Democrats of Tenn essee are
not going to take any Kentucky
straddle in theirs.
They are going to have platform
that means what it says and says
what it means, and they are not go
ing to put any straddler or dummy
4 on it.
We hope Maury County will sent
to Nashville solid delegation on
16 to silver plank, and instructed
to vote for no man who does not sin!

MAURY COUNTY ought not to allow
any goldites to go as Democrats to

we mean to read the goldites out of

this particular time they are not the

people. The silver men in each and
every district should remember not
to forget this.
