The Following are Said to be Mr..
Hanna's views OF Finance.
Republicans who Voted for Mckinley are
Not All In Favor Of the
Gold Standard.

Ii Mr.. Mark Hanna's view on the f.
nancia problem are shared by Major
Mckinley there is going to bc sadness
and sore resentment among the republic
cans and boiling democrats who ue-
lieved that when Mr.. Bryan was beaten
the silver question had been driven
from politics. Mr.. Hanna is aware
that hundreds OF thousands OF repu bli-
cans who voted for Mckinley are not
in favored OF the single gold standard.
He is alo aware that there are west
other hundreds OF republicans " no lean

tical politician, Mr.. Hanna wants to
keep al these republicans in the fold

thinking that contraction of the curren-

preventing contraction, as set forth in a

days Journal, includes provision for
the use OF more silver. Ac would issue
ten or fifteen-year per cent. bonds to
over the entire amount OF outstanding
grrenhacks, AND have them serve as the
basis for national bank issues. Then
Mr.. Hanna would have the government

he thinks, the republicans OF the min
ing states would be placated, the prices
OF silver raised, the cornering of the
money supply prevented and the way
made easy for the international bimet-
allie agreement to which the republican
party is pledged in its platform.

conciliation. He called at the house and
quarrel followed, during which he be-

Another Kentucky Lynchinr.

Alfred Holt, colored, alias Alexander,
the murderer Of police officer A. w.
White, was taken from Jail at Owens
borO, KY, and hanged to tree in the
Court-house yard. The lynching was
the most quiet and orderly, perhaps, ever
conducted in the State. and few persons
saving those having business on the pub
lie square at the time, knew Of it.
Hollis crime was committed on the morn
ing Of November last, after the election.
Officer White was killed with his own
pistol, which was taken from his pocket
by negro named George Basket, and
handed TO Holt. Holt escaped but was
captured shortly after at Louisville and
brought here three weeks ago. His trial
was begun early last week and the Com
monwealth rested after producing con-
elusive evidence of The negro's guilt.

MExICO'S PROSPERITY.

Mexico is satisfied with the silver
standard. The government, said Presl-
dent DiaZ, in taking the oath of othce
for the fourth consecutive term on De
cember 1st last. will stick to the silver
standard, as being, in the opinion OF
the administra ton, the one best adapt
ed to the country. and as affording it,
at the present rate of exchange, an
immense protection g. home industries,
while at the same time securing for
its exports gold premium, which oper-
ates as bounty to tropical planters.
Now, how does this gold premium
operate as bounty? Take the coffee
planter. The silver cost of production
is no greater to-day than ten or twenty
years ago. though the gold for which
he sells his coffee is worth twice as
much as it was prior 10 1873. SO the
coffee planter sending his coffee to New
York or London, and selling it for
gold price but very little short of that
obtained twenty years ago. gets twice as
much silver, gets twice as much money
for his coffee. Thus it is that the pre-
MUM on gold not only has nominaiy
but actually doubled the value of the
crops of the Mexican coffee planter.
Is it any wonder he prOsperS and is en-
larging production and increasing ship
ments to a marvellous extent?
And if we now turn the case around,
and look at the effect of this premium
on gold on imports into Mexico, what
do we find? We find that though Brit
ish and American manufactured goods
are offered for smaller gold price than
ten or twenty years ago. the price to
the Mexican has increased for he has
to pay twice as much for the gold he
must give in payment as he was re-
quired to pay in 1873. The result has
been Il rise in price to the Mexican of
everything bought from abroad. And
as silver has kept stable purchasing
power i'll Mexico. this enhanced price
of foreign goods has served as power
full stimulant to domestic manufacture
ing, and Mexico, as all silver countries,
is making marvellous industrial strides.
Another cause of the prosperity of
Mexico is that the country is not run
in the interest of stock and wheat gam
blers, who regulate matters to suit their
interests rather than that Of the general
