for considering this crazy Ind dangerous

will receive the support ofa strong ma
iority of the Democrats.
The great prepondersnee Of Democrat
ie sentiment in favor Of debasing the
currency has been conelusiyely shown by
the support which three-fourths of the
Democratic Senators gave TO the Stewart
bill and by the vote in the House on the
Bland bill on March "a, when $50 Demo

THE cARSEGIE Plant.

The works Of the Carnegie Steel Company
are located in Homestead, a town eight
miles southeast of Pittsburg. 1t is situated
picturesquely on the banks Of the Monon-
gehals river, overlooking one of The most
placid waierbeds in the State of Pennsylva-
mia. Across the river is a row of winding
hills, now verdant with the bloom of sum-
mer. Towering bluffs and wooded noun
tains surround the valley which centers on
the quiet little borough. And that entire
valley might properly be named the seat of
Andrew Carnegie's industries. 1t was he
that built the borough as il now stands. It
was he that planted there one Of the great
est industries known to the living labor
world. Here are 1900 souls dependent for
an existence on the wages paid by Andrew
Carnegie weekly.
The monthly payroll of the company
amounts 10 $4,000, sometimes exceeding
that amount. This in itself shows the de-
pendence Of the town upon the manufactur-
er. Covering an area of GOO acres of land,
the works stretch out from the Pittsburgh
City Farm to Marshall station, on the Nc
Keesport and Youghiogheny Railway.
