CARNEGiE'S WEALTH.

How the Pittsburgh Iron-MakeY Acquired
His Millions.
Mr.. Blaine's closing speech in the
Maine campaign was devoted in part
to defense of Andrew Carnegie and
the wealth he has accumulated In the
steel-rail business. He seemed to con-
slider both a glorious exemplifcation OF
the workings of high tariff because
in the past seven years Mr.. Carnegie
had paid out 35,O0O,000 in wages to
American working-men, which other
wise might have ..fiowed bounteously
out of the country Mr.. Carnegie
was doubtless very considerable in re-
Numbering his employees, but still it
can hardly be called justification.
How much did he pay out to himself in
the same timer Mr.. Blaine does not
tell us. and yet this is q vital point. He
paid to his help the market rate OF
wages and no more than the market
rate. He himself pocketed the enorm-
GUS profits that an excessive tariff
made possible.
Mr.. Blaine himself gives us some
idea of what these profits are. He
says that under protection steel rails
have fallen in price to nearly $28. True,
steel rails can be made In this country
at a fair profit at that figure, but does
he not know that steel rails rarely sell
for so low as $28 tonp Does he not
know that last year the average price
was $37 q tonp Does he not know that
the manufacturers have combined be-
hind an excessive tariff and pushed
the price up to an extortionate figure,
pocketing yearly the proceeds and
sharing with labor not penny Of II
ALP And If steel-rails have so fallen
in price, OF what necessity is tariff
that prevents foreign rails from being
laid down in this country for less than
$50 tonp We are told by the Repub.
icans that reduction from SIT to eli
. ton in the tariff on rails as proposed
by the Democrats would ruin our stee
industries. But even this proposed
duty Of $l1 9 ton would prevent iii
importation and sale Of foreign rail-
In the United States at much less thar
$50 ton. And yet Mr.. Blaine says
We can make rails for $2S ton. ~
not only here exposes the uhscr1lpu.
lous character Of the opposition X
this reduction, but he as well explains
just how Andrew Carnegie has mads

CHANGE OF WORK.
The Ability to Take Hold and to Let c
of Daily Duties Alright.

Tho Ability to Take Hold and to Let Go
of Daily Duties Alright.
To do one thing at time is wise method
of doing, but to do only one thing all the
time is the most unwise method of doing.
Concentrating ones powers on the work of
the hour, or OF the moment, one has his
highest efficiency in and for that work for
the time being. But an unintermitted strain
on the powers in one and the same direction
for an extended period of time, would tend
to render one ineffective even in that one
direction; hence change Of work is desira-
BILE as means of success in work; and,
moreover such a change is necessary in
view of the inevitable variety of demands
on ones times and energies. in this world
as it is. A change of work must be a COM
plete change, or it is no change at all. The
same concentration of power which was
shown ON the one work must be shown on
the other work in order to the best doing
of the new work-which for the time
being is the only work worth living for.
This concentration first on one work and
then on the other work involves an utter
letting alone of the one while the other is
put foremost. Therefore it is that the
higher efficiency of a worker is gained
through his turning away at the right mo-
ment from the work for which alone he
seemed to be living only the moment before.
Taking hold of ones work at the right time
with Wilderness of being is mark Of rare
ability. Letting go of ones work at the
right time with Wilderness of being is a
mark Of quite as rare ability. The ability
both to take hold and to let go with like
Wilderness of beng is mark Of rarest
ability. He is the master man who can
change rapidly and entirely from one thing
to another without even carrying the bur-
den of one work into the sphere of another
work. So it comes to pass that in learning
| how to take hold of our work Alright, we
must learn also how to let go of our work
aright.-S. 5. Times.
