CARNEGIE on an Investment of

profits last year S1,5OO,0OO. There
is no Legitimate business in this
land in the manufacturing line
with an investment of $2,500,000
that could under the ordinary rule
of business without artificial MD
have made 81 100000 profit in one
year. Mr.. Carnegie's men demand
ed better pay for their services in
this profitable, highly protected
business, which he refused, be-
cause, as he says in effect, he could
not afford it. Poor man! Is it
likely that Carnegie and his parti-
cular friend Blaine, who travelled
across Scotland in tally-ho to
Carnegie's castle, should oppose a
law or system that turns into his
Golfers 81 100000 in one year as the
result in the main of the labor of
his employees? OF course Blaine,
Harrison & Co., representing the
Republican Chinese wall tariff
policy, will fight for the Carnegies'
trusts and monopolies. Why should
the prohibitory tariffites repudiate
their offspring-the trust ?--Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

CONGRESSMAN FELIX CAMPBELL
was in New York city last week,
and after interviews with a large
number of his mercantile friends
came to the conclusion that Cleye-
land will receive the votes Of a
large proportion of the Republican
busines men Of New York and
Brooklyn, many of whom are con-
tributing liberally to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund and quietly
working for the success of the
Democratic ticket, and that Cleve-
land is today stronger by many
thousand votes than he was when
he made his canvass four years
ago.
