MR.. CARNEGIE. the great Pennsylvania
iron manufacturer whose net profits
by reason OF the protective tariff, amount to
a million and half year, now proposes to
employ negro instead of white labor in all
his works. Mr.. Carnegie knows that the
natural condition of the negro ia slavery,
while that OF the white man ia freedom.
Therefore it is only natural that he should
prefer the labor of the former to that OF the
latter. The wonder is that more OF the ex-
tensiye northern labor employers don't pro-
poes to do as Mr.. Carnegie does, for pluto
cratic barons can exercise their tyranny
with impunity upon labor accustomed 10

greater wonder is that the white laborers oil

Carnegie and men like him are enabled 10
