Mr.. Andrew Carnegie is we'll known as
a money making. and yet very liberal
man, and his last proposition to the thou.
sands Of men he employs deserves respect.
full consideration as showing how both
these qualities can be united. He has
made millions o! dollars and now proposes
to give the men who work for him chance
to become Independent. He offers them
share of the profits OF his business and
also proposes to lend the money on long
tim, to build homes for themselves. a
more liberal offt r was never made 10 work
ingmen, and it Is to be hoped that the ex-
pertinent will meet with success. The
New York Sun says that II was last year
that he drew up the scheme now published
for giving his workmen an interest
in his steel works, and loaning
them money to build homes for them
selves. Mr. Carnegie has long been an ad-
vocate of a peculiar system Of profit shar-
ing, which he has not until this time been
able to put in practice in the large estab-
lishments under his control The end OF
the strike and the resumption Of operations
In the works at Braddock has given him the
opportunity for which he had previously
sought and now his army of wage earners
are invited to take advantage Of his ofier.
The result Of the new scheme will be looked
for with interest We believe that In the
Allis Iron Works in Milwaukee one feature
Of his system has been IN successful opera
ton for years. II it BE- successful 1t Will
undoubtedly be the precursor Of similar
projects on the part Of wealthy firms.

A NEWSPAPER of the City of Mexico
has been exposing the i'll treatment to
which agricultural laborers on hacien-
das in remote parts of the country are
subjected. 1t says that in some dis
tricts of the State of Chiapas the ma
tives are entirely naked and are found
thus on the roads, serve thus on the
haciendas. and thus show themselves
in the towns. 1t appears that they are
ignorant of the existence of hats, since
they never cover the head. These
wretched poems hire themselves out as
beasts of burdens to whomsoever de-
sires to lease them. The wages are
four dollars per month. AS the poor
Indian is never able to discharge the
debt which he has incurred through the
amount of twenty-five dollars usually
advanced to him he is always serf
