LAIRD CARNEGIE.

Carnegie isn't putting as much faith
in his Mckinley protection now as he is
in his Pinkerton tnugs.-Mansfield
Shield.
Carnegie & Co. and their like are an
archists. Instead of dynamite they use
Pinkerton hirelings-equally danger
Gus and equally illegal.-Springlleld,

Mr.. Carnegie's managers at Pittsburg
on Tuesday asked for the appointment
| of 200 deputy sheriffs to protect their
property. The sentiment is becoming
pretty general that Mr.. Carnegie wants
too much protection of various kinds.

In his castle In Scotland, purchased
with the millions stolen from the
American people under the pretense of
protecting American workingmen,
Andrew Carnegie received yesterday
frequent bulletins by cable, keeping
him promptly advised of the fighting
as it progressed at Homestead between
his hired detectives and the working
men who recently left his employe be-
cause they would not submit to further
robbery. Mr.. Carnegie finds it very
convenient to be in Europe at this time
Chicago Herald,
During all the time that Carnegie has
been amassing his millions out of the
Iprohts of High Tariffs, he has been a
great bowler about the "Wonderful
Benefits of Protection to American
Labor" He has howled long and loud
for higher taxes, so that he could pay
higher wages. He got the higher taxes
through Republican legislation "for the
benefit of labor" but he applied the
immense profits solely to himself. He
industriously piled up his many mil
lions of wealth, but bis poor working
men never received the promised
increase In wages.-Neward, o., Adyo
vate.
The princely sums you have given to
Il
the advertising and fawning you hoped
for, aud the general verdict of mankind
will be that you deducted your gifts
from the wages of the honest mer
whose strong arms built up youl
fortune and enabled you in lordly anC
lpampered idleness to reclihe in an easy
chair in your Scotch castle and send
your proclamation of serfdom-youl
sentences of death to men whose shoe
strings you are not worthy to tie. You
may win this time, Andrew Carnegie
but you cannot escape the mills of the
| godsl-Atlanta Constitution.
. What spectacle is this: Carnegie
the multi-millionaire, who never thinks
a season good unless he puts $3,OOO,OOC
in his pocket, who breaches In favor OF
cooperation and high wages, and who
writes magazine articles showing how
beneficial is tariff to the workingmen

here at home his employees are strug-

Gear Carnegie is the typical repre-
sentative of protection in practice as
Mckinley is of protection in theory
Tie has done more than any Other
manufacturer in writings as well as
campaign contributions to maintain
the system that means millions il
profits to himself and his class. He
has pushed himself into politics anG
made himself prominent as persona
friend of the President. In all this hi
is prompted by his own selfish interest
He has little direct interest in the
general prosperity and happiness of the
} American people. He was not borr
here and does not reside here. His rea
interest in our country does not extend
beyond the confines of his mill yards
