PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.
The Philadelphia Telegraph is Re-
publican paper and an advocate Of pro-
lection, but it is thoroughly dissatisfied
with the Mckinley act and has lost pa
thence with the inStigators Of what it
regards aS highly Objectionable class
legislation. One Of these instigators is
Mr.. CARNEGIE. TO whom the TeiegrapI,
has recently paid It's respects. 1t asserts
that nine-tenthS Of the 5000 men en-
ployed by Mr.. CARNEGIE In his steel
works at Braddock are aliens, and that
at least 500 Of them are Hungarians who
are working FOR wages only little
better than the pauper wages Of Eu-
rope" How this has come about the
Telegraph explains as follows:
ION many occasions Mr.. Carnegie has
had trouble with his employees with respect
70 wages. They thought thev were not
well enough paid for their work Mr.. Car
neg1e disagreed with them, and they struck,
or he locked them out. The places Of the
strikers or the lOcked-out men he supplied
from abroad. There is no tariff, no restric-
ton whatever, on imported labor, except
that IL shall not ~ f.,,f,.a.f.,l g.. -,
strictiOn which the New York Commission
ers Of Immigration say is disregarded every
day. The only tariff. or only restriction,
Is on foreign products, while in foreign
labor there is absolutely free trade. IL is
that which makes prohibitory duties pro
tective Of the American capitalists and not
az all protective OF the American work
man.
MIR. Carnegie, while decrying the i'm
pOrtatiOn Of the products of foreign labor,
for the reason that the importation reduces
the wages or our native wOrkmen, Is one OF
the largest importers or employers OF for
e'gn labor. His mills swarm with alien
wOrkmen, and especially with that class
who work for the lowest wages paid in this
country. When the issue is made between
dear American labor and cheap foreign
labor, the latter always wins in Mr. Carne-
gie's works"
These are the words Of Republican
newspaper which supported HARRISON
in lSSs, but which has refused 10 APP
prove the extreme Tariff legislation Of
the present Congress. The declara-
tlons OF the Telegraph are virtually an
arraignment Of all the interests Speci-
ally favored by the Mckinley leglsla-
ton. The Republican Spell-binders per-
siSt in asserting that the Mckinley in
creases Of duties were all made in the
name and the interest of American la
Dor. How hollow and contemplate ap-
pear such assertions in the light of the
practical workings Of the Tariff act as
by the CARNEGIEs Of the
country.
CHANCE FOR AN INTERROGATION.
When this Indian row is over there
should be = thorough investigation Of
the whole diSgraceiul affair and the
blame for il placed where it belongs.
There are plenty OF practical witnesses
competent to testify as to who IS reSpOn-
sible for the outbreak.
One is DIR. EASTMAN, the government
surgeon at the Agency, aud another is
BnGHr EYES, who has been writing
letters from the Agency 10 a Chicago
paper. Both are educated Indians.
II is worth noting that none Of the
persons best qualified 70 Judge expected
any lighting. DIR. EASTMAN wrote two
two OF three weeks ago that everything
was going on as usual at Pine Ridge,
and he clearly looked for no trouble.
BRIGHT EYES wrote that the Sioux had
enough, in the form Of in
sufficient rations, an unfulflled promise
that each member OF the tribe should
be paid $50 for the land given up TWO
years ago, and the iOiSting upon them rs
agricultural teachers OF men who did
not know how 10 farm, etc, but she as
serted that they had no idea Of fighting
until their dances were interfered with.
She declared the whole affair blunder
of the Interior Department. Even Sen
ltor PErrIGREw, OF South Dakota, who
may be supposed 10 share in the frontier
settlers prejudice against Indians who
own lands protested about the middle OF
last month that there was not and had
not been any sufficient cause for the
alarm.
There is another subject as TO which
all the reports agree, and that Is the
of food for the Indians
Army officers, the Indians themselves
and the correspondents testify alike on
this point. The principle OF the Gov
eminent is that rations should be re-
iuced when possible so as to compel
the Indians TO work, and the theory OF
BE1GHr EYES is that the farmers report
ed as favorably a. they could in the
sprinc on the crops, and that, on the
strength Of these reports, rations were
reduced, although in the meantime d
drought had ruined the crops. 1t Is
said that Father CRAFT, who was
wounded in the recent fight visited
Washington last October TO protest
against the incorrect enumeration Of
the Indians aud against the reduction
OF their rations, the expenses OF his
Journey being borne in part by army
officers.
There are plenty OF witnesses IN
Guiding army officers, who thoroughly
understand the Indian question, ana
there is a large field for investigation.
