A GREAT deal is being sail by gold
standard advocates about the deplor-
able condition of Mexico consequent
upon the fall in the price OF silver.
On account of il exchange with gold
countries has become so high that it
is exceedingly difficult for Mexicans to
buy foreign goods. Yet this is pre-
cisely the result aimed at by the very
fellows who are making this cry, i'll the
passage of the Dngley bill. Mexico is
also in trouble because the interest on
her national debt is payable in gold
and she has no gold money to pay 1t
with, But with Is if silver triumphed
our obligations would be paid in silver
If it were more convenient than to pay
in gold.

THIS Is one Of those rare seasons that
come only ones in long period IN
which the interests of the American
farmer solely through the turn of for
tune are to receive great help. That
IS, of those farmers who have wheat.
The American farmer has almost the
whole thing in his bands because Of
the total lack Of surplus from any of
the countries from which exports have
usally come into competition in the
worlds market with his. But this is
not all. What is almost equally rare
the American crop is about up to the
average or little in advaEee Of what
it was last year. Nevertheless it will
not do to consider it as settled that
wheat prices will 60 higher or even
remain where they are. OF course 1t
is definitely known there is a great
shortage in the worlds market but as
to just the amount of that shortage
nothing can be certainly known
Acting upon the known facts and a
belief that is founded upon estimates,
the price will undoubtedly go some
what higher than it Can permanently
remain THIS condition of the worlds
crops while most unwelcOme in other
countries, is very fortunate for Mr..
Mckinley WHO, Of course, by his heDch-
men will be given full credit for it and
what degree of general prosperity that
naturally follows it, But in all prob.
ability it can not last all through his
term. Next years crops may overturn
the unnatural unbalance and bring
about the usual prices natural to
short money volume. However, in
some of the wheat producing countries
as notably India the famine is so great
that 1t may be difficult to secure seed
for another years crop and thus cause
shortage next year.

and they did PRETTY much as they
pleased about paying their taxes Mr..
McNall looked the matter up aud con
cluded not only to put the screws TO
the New YOrd companies hut all the
others as we'll. Some correspondence
followed that was SO hot it nearly
burned the mail bags, with the result
that he has now nearly $4,000 to dis
tribute to the towns Ut tile State main
tanning fire departments. 1t is no
wonder the republican papers denOunce
McNall as u pirate. Such a iolting
and impertinent disturbance of their
corporation friends is a crime Of the
first magnitude in their eyes.

THE Topeka Capital quotes from
the Kansas City Star: Back of all the
influence growing out Of short crops
this year lies the fact that stocks of
wheat everywhere in the world were
permitted to run down almost to a
minimum amount so that there are no
old wheat reserves to make up for this
years crop deficiencies" Yet every
one boss republican editor credits the
riss in wheat up to Mark Hanna and
thinks 1t funny that pOpulists should
allow that anything could overcome
the depressing influence of colo
standard on prices.

TENNESSEE CENTENNIAL
Interest in the Great Exposition
 Is Growing Everywhere.
Many Eastern and Most Of the Southern States Will Have Special Exhibits Work Done by the Women

Special Nashville Crcnn) Le,ter.l


 There is widespread and growing m. terest throughout the country in the Tennessee Centennial and lnternational exposition to be held at Nashville. com. mencing May l, and continuing until October 30- 1897. This will be the oniy feature of the kind of national impor- tance during the year, and the progr, ss that has been made and The plans that have been matured have alread, re- ceived so much attention and com mendation from the press of the whole country that the success of the enter prise is already assured. 1t has never been intended by the people of 1ennes- see that this patriotic celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of their state should be merely of local or sec uonal interest, but it is only recently that the full importance and broad scope Of the exposition has been more generally understood and accepted as national or International event. In 1act, while the plans. grounds and build lngs are just what the management originally contemplated, they find that the demands for space and privileges already exceed the capacity of the buildings. and the lively interes. which has been created, especially since the close of the late political campaign. IS an indication of the greater interest that will be felt everywhere when the exposition opens.
 Several of the states have made ap- preparations for displays, and many others will do so in the spirit expressed In the message of Gov. Clarke to the leg lslature of Connecticut, who said:
 Tn common with other states, Con- necticut has been invited ny the state of Tennessee to participate in celebrat- ing the one hundredth anniversary of her admission into the uniou. the event to take the form of a centennial and ip- ternational exposition, to be held in Nashville for six months, opening May l, 1897. Preparations are being made upon such scale as to indicate that 1t will be an attractive and meritorio:s enterprise, and, aside from the mate rial advantages it offers for the exhibi- tion of Connecticut's products, it seefas that we should unite with sister states in an exhibition of cordial interstate
