DIAZ IS AN AMERICAN. !
Aecnsefl of Yankee Nations, by Enemies in

OPPOSITION FROM THE CHURCH.
What he is Trying to do to Emancipate
the Montezumas. '
THE PROSPERITY OP MEXICO FIRST
A Tax .System Which Ja to Bring the
VAgrrlcaltural Area Under' the
' Plow Other Sewi.
Chicago, May 9. A prominent citi
zen of Illinois joat returned from an ex
tended trip through Mexico, had an ex
tended talk with President Diaz, in
which the latter spoke freely of a num
ber of reforms which he intended to inr
augurate. The gentleman says: "The
hardest tiling they can say against Diaz
is that he is an American: in other
words, they think he has too much sym
pathy for the United States and that he
is trying to Americanize Mexico and in
troduce Yankee notions into the halls of
the Montezumas. His other opposition
comes from the church and the consert
vatives made up "of an old monarchial
element which founded the empire over
which Iturbide ruled, and tinder whose
influence the ill fated Maximilian came
over from Austria to establish a throne:
This party includes the rich land-own
ers who acquired vast . estates by grant
from the Spanish government before the
independence of the republic.,". .They
have been supported and encouraged by
the church and by all other elements of
the population which for - any .reason
desire tp; resist progress. It was this
element that brought Mexico to financial
ruin', having always opposed the exist
ence of the railways and other . public
improvements.- But this church party
is paralyzed. .' The present generation
has walked over them rough shod, and
most of them have preferred to leave the
country and live in Paris and other cities
in Europe onJarge revenues from their
estates, which are managed by agents or
administrators. This is considered one
of the great obstacles, to the prosperity of
Mexico, and Diaz is gaining greatly, by
his liberal policy, and efforts to depend
upon its agricultural development, more
than upon the output of its mines, which
have given Mexico her wealth hitherto.
He does not think any government can
sustain permanent prosperity upon min
eral productions alone, and he is exert
ing all his influence to urge the people
into agriculture. . Isot long . ago he ap
pointed a commission to consider the
subject and make a report, which was in
favor of permitting the free introduction
of all agricultural machinery and the
payment ,of bounties, or premiums for
large crops.' " He has a proposition for an
internal taxation system in which he
will' strike everybody but the farmer,
and if people want to escape, taxes they
will haye tp plow the ground. He pro
poses to. tax all mines and mineral prop
erties except iron and coal, also all . cat
tle and sheep- ranches, in order to en
courage the people to engage in agricul
ture, for he says he will never permit
plowed ground to be taxed as long as he
has any influence.' in -Mexico. He was
greatly disappointed at the rejection of
the Crrant-Komero treaty of 1884 nego
tiated daring the Arthur administration.
He feels that our country did Mexico a
great injustice in refusing to carry out
that arrangement, for he .believes, as
Gen. Grant did, that free trade between
the two countries would .be greatly to
the advantage of both. He feels, too,
great indignation at . tlip publication in
the papers of the United States of the
bogus stories about. revolutionary move
ments to overthrow Wm. The leading
officials ot Mexico know where and why
these stories originated, and they think
the newpaperfl ofthis cpunryught to
be enterprising enough as well as honest
enough to ascertain the accuracy of re
ports before giving them pubjicatiojuand
thereby; in jaring the- ntersts' -of ,
friendlv nation." tUiVk". -. -

NEARING THE PEOPLE.
J. Proctor Knott Expresses his- Views
as a Priyate Citizen. .
TH I. KS CLEVELAND IS OUT OF IT..
Wouldn't Feel Set Back. Greatly if
Watterson was Nominated.
MIGHT go FARTIIKU and FARE Worse.
Rockefeller's Thank OrTerlng to Chicago
' Was needed. Perhaps. By the
I.ord.
Chicago, May 8. Ex-Gov. J. Proctor
Knott was at the Palmer house a few
hours yesterday, where he stopped while
on his way to Duluth. The present trip,
he claimed, ia one of - purely pri-'
vate business. "I cannot say that I
have lost all interest in politics or
horses," said the. ex-governor, in answer ,
to, some questions. "I assure you that I
have no personal choice even as a private "
citizen for the presidency. All that I.
demand is that the candidate shall be
honest, capable and a sound democrat.
Now such men are hot few .in number.
They may be hard to find because while
there are thousands of them the majority
are not before the public. Cleveland is
said to.be quite out of the race, I believe. -I
haye no opinion to offer regarding
Hill. . I don't know him. My friend '
Watterson has been mentioned. He
probably doesn't consider the matter
seriously but I wouldn't feel greatly set
back if he were nominated, and elected.
The party might go farther and fare a
great . deal . . worse. You have a good
president right here in Illinois, in the
person of A. E, Stevenson, ex-assistant'
postmaster-genercl. lie meets all the
requrreraents I have named. .He ishon- -est,
capable and a sound democrat. I
don't suppose the thought of such a
thing ever entered his mind but I don't
know but what when you find a capable
man like that who hasn't thought of the
Office, it would be a good thing to scoop '
him in." Gov. Knott also expressed the
liveliest interest in the Columbus fa'r
and. seemed especially pleased at the
prospects of the Chicago university. "1
presume Chicago people," he said,,
laughingly, "wpuldnt .mind seeing:
Rockefeller fall sick again and get well. .
I don't know but what the Lord . needed
that thank offering."
