Carnrg,e'- Protected Labor

The striking workmen at Mr.. Car
negie's Homestead Mills have compro-
missed by accepting an average reduction
of 90 per cent. This would appear to be
a serious diminutiOu Of their earnings,
SAYS the Chicago Herald, but the men are
apparently content that the result is no
worse. and dispatch from Pittsburg
saws that 1.-THE reduction is mere child's
play compared with that demanded by
the firm, which in one particular case
amounted to IS per cent But what, in
view OF this settlement of the strike, is to
be said of the crushing oppression of a
concern that is able to subject its en-
ployes to such a compromise? OF all
protected manu- facturers MIR. Carnegie
would naturally be supposed to have the
most sympathy for his workmen. He is
an ardent advocate OF the protective
system which he pretends to believe is
highly instrumental in "dignifying and
ennobling" american labor. Beyond all
other protected American manufacture
erers he has been active in advancing
this theory. He has written eloquent
books lauding the tariffs beneficial eff
fects. Yet. notwithstanding his regard
for American labor so eloquently set
forth in Triumphant Democracy" Mr..
Carnegie has not stopped at cuts in
wages which would satisfy the ordinary
manufacturer. He has been more ex =
acting with his men than manufacturers
who have bad much less to say of the
benefits of protection. Men who have
not written of the triumphs of protection
have been satisfied with a cut of 10 or
is per cent. while Mr.. Cgrnegie has re-
fused to settle with his men except at a
sacrifice OF less than 90 per cent of their
wages. The incident shows that a man.
ufscturer's rea! sympathy with labor is
not to be judged by his zeal for protec
ton. The stronger protectionist he
is the worse it is for his men.

kept while accommodating in the room of Mr.
Pruden, the presidents assistant secreta nv,
and we're hung on the wall, piled on the top

Of the log-cabin business in all of the phases
which the last campaign brought out There
were fac-similes and originals of presidential
tickets when Mr.. Harrison's grandfather
was the nominee. There were flags and
other emblems borne by this or that cam
paign club. There were the menus and the
list of speakers at this and that dinner.

Log Cabin and Coon Skin.
There was a log cabin with the coon skin
nailed to the door and big enough to accom-
modate dogs OF the mastiff breed There
were suits Of tin armor and notices in all
colors until you would think that the in
genuity of the human mind in framing cam

stuffed roosters and plucked ROSTERS, the
latter to represent CleveIand's woful plight
after November, and there were other things
too numerous TO mention" the advertise
ments say. The receipt of every one of the
mementoes had been duly acknowledged by
the president. He intended to keep them at
the White House, but concluded, as they
grew in number, that he would have to re-
move them or enlarge his Washington City
residence, for they have not yet ceased to ar
rive. One or two more get here every week.
