CARNEGIE'S INGRArTTUDE.

Andrew Carnegie makes the gratui-
tous statement that if the laboring man
of this country was as economical as his
English brother, he could work for less
wages. He bases this upon the fact
that the cost Of living Is less here than
in Europe 1t will strike the intelligent
wage-earner in this country that there
is a good deal of what is vulgarly called
gall in this comment of our hyphenated.
English-American multi-miliionaire.
Born and reared in Scotland he found.
on reaching his majority, that the New
World-the land of liberal wages
and golden opportunities, offered
a better field for the expause
of his genius than plodding
England. He shipped for America and,
driven by the hot blood of youth and an
ambition that knew no limits. he
launched forth on a career of business
which was to be successful beyond his
widest dreams. The achievements of
such life are not wrought with a single
pair of hands. Mr.. Carnegie found that
profits were augmented by the earnings
of other hands. Suiiing his investments
and directing his efforts 10 thisfact. he

These are the qualities which

of any man, but it is noted with deepest
regret that Carnegie has leanings Of late

Taking up his residence among the lords
and squires of England seems to have 50
modified the man $ nature that he can
look with contempt upon the class who
aided in stacking up millions to hi:
