MIR. CARNEGIE INTERFERING WITH
TRADE.

Andrew Carnegie having become enor-
mously rich by taking advantage OF the
protective tariff laws that were designed
10 enrich the few at the expense OF the
many is generally regarded in the pub
lie mind as a typical monopolist. totally
Indifferent TO whatever sufferings the
masses may have to undergo. We be-
lives this estimate Of him though does
him very great injustice. He is not re-
sponsible for the laws that have enabled
him to levy the unjust tolls Of his mil
lions upon his fellow-citizens. The Re-
publican party made them, and all he
has done is 10 take advantage OF them
as he found them. We believe. however
that Mr.. Carnegie is at heart a very
broad and philanthropie man; certainly
his offer TO give $500 a day. for the
winter months. to support the poor Of
PittsbIrg. Is one Of tie most munncent
charities that the world has ever seen,
OF a piece with this is his reported d.
rcctions to his agents 10 take every order
in the line of his manufacture, north,
south, east and west, regardless of
prices. II is a generous heart that
prompts this order. but is Mr.. Carnegie
really benehting the laboring man when
he gives it? 1t is true he will be giving
regular and steady work TO the en-
ployes of his own factories, but has
he ever considered that he will be so
cutting prices by sdch a mode
OF procedure that he viii force many
other factories to cease work and there
by throw their employees without work
out upon the world? He will be losing
large sums Of money out Of his own
pocket to keep his own workmen at
work and, at the same time forcing many
others out upon cold charity. 1t would
seem to be a wiser way of spending the
money he will lose in giving it directly
TO his men. This course will seriously
interfere with the natural working of
the law Of demand and supply. which is
a natural force. far above the power Of
Mr.. Carnegie, his millions. his factories.
and all his workmen. 1t is the force. too
which must finally regulate and adjust
all the friction that has arisen, and one !
Of the things it will finally have to adjust |
will be the very disorders which Mr. |
Carnegie will create by his unwise move |
The difficulty with trade now, is. as |
we explained a day or so back, the |
plethora Of manufactures that our in
creasing command Of the arts and
sciences has produced. Mr.. Carnegie has
not done anything in this to eradicate
the cause of our trouble. he has ag-
gravated the trouble only.

Editor Times: 7 noticed in the Times a
few days since where the Committee on
Light agreed to pay 20 two Of the en-
pioyes Of the department half salary
during the time they were confined 10
their homes by sickness.
] doubt not but what tie committee
had perfect right u do this if they
thought the circumstances surrounding
their cases justified them I'm so doing. but
l cannot imagine why-ali things being
equal-the committee should discriminate
against any of their employees.
l have reference TO the case Of Mr..
John Smith. one Of the Oldest in point Of
service and most trustworthy men in the
employ o. the department.
Mr.. Smith has been incapacitated for
WORK for several months partly, If not
wholly. from the poisonous effects Of the
new oil gas, which. working in the puri-
flying house. as he has been, he must
necessarily inhale.
Mr.. Smith has been a faithful employee
Of the department for more than twenty
years, and none has been more devoted
to their duty. and there IS no person on
the city's payroll to-day more worthy of
its munihcence than he. II.
