PITTSBURG, Dec. 23.-2:45 A. M.-NeWs
has just been received here by telephone
from Homestead that disastrous cave-in
has occurred near there in the new addi-
ton to the Carnegie Mills. Fourteen
men are said to have been killed and
others seriously injured.
The accident happened shortly after l
o'clock this Saturday morning, but it
was 2:35 before the news reached this city.
No particulars had been received up to
3:45 A. NJ, and very little is possible, as
the telegraph and telephone Offices are
closed and there are no trains moving at
this hour.
LATER.-The telegraph operator at City
Farm, a short distance from Homestead,
has just been raised. He says the acci
dent happened in the new addition of the
Carnegie mill. Fourteen or fifteen men
are known to be killed and number in
jured. Two dead bodies have been taken
out, and three injured.
The operator could not tell how the ac-
cident occurred, and was unable to leave
the office. All efforts to get the Carnegie
people have failed. 1t is known that
they have been making extensive i'm
along, and were working night and day,
with a view of having the new depart
ments ready by the time the great plant
resumed after the holidays.

WHY HOLD TARIFF HEARINGS,
They Are More Likely to Mar Than to Add
to the Equality of tho BILL.


They Are More Likely to Mar Than to Add
to the Equality of tho BILL.
Tho ways and means committee, it is
reported, has decided to grant public
hearings on various schedules, and the
committee will meet daily at 10 o'clock,
continuing until Il new tariff bill is got
into shape to report to the house.
We think it was u mistake to grant
public hearings, not only because they
will delay for some time the prepare
ton and perhaps also the passage of a
tariff bill which should be put into opcr-
alton at the earliest possible moment
both for the good of the country and OF
the Democratic party-but also because
they are far more likely to mar rather
than add to the consistency and equality
of the bill. Past hearings have given the
committee ample data upon which tc
base bill. The hearings are probably
not given that the committee may gain
new light, but that it may avoid the
charge of unfairness by not giving some
manufacturers and importers chance
to air their claims. For it is these and
only these intensely interested classes
that have heretofore appeared before the
committee to tell it what is best for
themselves and therefore for the country.
In past congresses it has been consist.
ent to give these hearings because it was
intended to make bill in favor of the
manufacturers. OF course, then the
manufacturers must be consulted. Now
the bill is to he made for revenue only
and i'll favor of the people. Why then
go through the farce of public hearings
at which it Is almost certain no one will
appear who has not an AK to grind? It
will give the lobby an opportunity to
find out the weakness of the individual
members, and us in the past will enable
corruption funds to be placed where they
will secure special legislation and defeat
the good ends aimed at by the Demo.
Gratis.
Now, however, that it has been de-
cided to grant hearings the committee
should make certain that it does not
waste precious time listening to long,
irrelevant and probably lying statements
from selfish interests. 1t should permit
no one to occupy its time who does not
first testify that he appears before the
committee, not in his own selfish in
terests mainly, but iii the interests of the
masses of consumers and producers
The wish of the people has been clearly
expressed, and it is against the fraud
protection. Why then give the protected
classes cause for expecting that they are
to continue to receive special considera-
ton at the hands of legislators? For once
let impartial and even handed justice be
done all classes.

Tnrir reform and Prosperi,v.

A tariff bill will be passed next year,
if not earlier, and it will be a bill that
cannot be repealed for at least three
years succeeding. Grover Cleveland,
with his veto power, in tho White House
will be Il rock against that even if the
Republicans should carry the next con-
gress. We shall have a new tariff, and
then the argument of the Republicans
that business demands that there shall
not be frequent tariff changes will be an
other argument to turn against them.
There is no reason whatever to doubt
that the country will prosper under this
tariff, and the widest croaler about
hard times will not claim that they are
likely to continue four years in the flu
ture. The rally into prosperity will come
under Democratic administration and
under reform tariff. 1t will not be all
owing to tho tariff, but the Republicans
have been teaching the people to look to
the tariff as the chief cause of it. The
Democratic prospects for the future,
after the present florry has passed, are
very bright, and their political oppo-
nents have given not little aid in maxi
ing them so.--Boston Herald.

LABOR is ON THE FREE LIST.

Therefore Even Matters by Putting Goods
on the Same Plane.
The New York Press of Aug. &c ac-
cidentally struck the tariff nail on the
head. 1t said: "Water in two reser-
voirs. connected by an unobstructed
pipe, will have the same level in both
reservoirs. Labor cost in two countries
trading without tariff obstruction must
be practically the same, and the level to
which it will go will be the lower level"
This is true. There being no tariff OH
labor passing i'll or out of this country,
labor cost is practically the same as in
other countries. This was the conclu-
sion reached by both Secretaries of State
Blaine and Evarts after receiving re-
ports from numerous foreign consuls on
the subject. We presume they were
right. 81 IL also looks reasonable that the
cost of goods would be practically the
same in different countries if trade were
not INSTRUCTED by tariffs. Unfortunate
~, however, for the man who sells la
Dor and has to buy goods, there is a
heavy tariff on goods coming into this
country. This tariff protects manufac-
turers and sellers of goods, then, at the
expense, of the laborers.
There are but two ways of lcvelingup
the goods and the labor reservoirs: 1.
Put tariff on imported labor sufficient
to protect labor and to increase the cost
of labor to the manufacturer equal to
the protection the manufacturer now re-
ceivcs from the tariff on his goods. This
plan would probably not be practicable,
because it would not please the rich
manufacturers, who would insist upon
their inalienablc right to employ whom
soever they will. 1t is now morally GER
tain that tariff upon labor could not
obstruct the passage between the Euro
pean and American reservoirs sufficient
ly to raise the level in the American la
Dor reservoir as high as the level in the
American goods reservoir. Unless it
could and should do so the American la
borer would still be at disadvantage as
compared with the American manufac-
turcr. 2. Open the pipes between the
goods reservoirs as wide as they are be-
tween the labor reservoirs of this and
other countries. Let there be as free
trade i'll goods as there is in labor. In
this way, and in this way only, can the
reservoirs be kept at level as favorable
to the poor laborer as to the rich manu-
facturer
