Harrison’s Organ Still for Carnegie.

The Indianapolis Journal, home organ of President Harrison, is found on the side of Carnegie in the great conflict between the tariff baron and his workmen. The Journal is simply maintaining its reputation as an enemy to organized labor. There never has been a dispute between capital and labor when The'Joumal had a word of sympathy for the workmen. During the great coal miners’ strike in Indiana three years ago The Journal filled its columns daily with such advice to organized labor as the following elegant extracts: The tyranny of labor organizations over labor is far more absolute and galling than that of capital over labor. The real slavery of labor is that imposed by labor unions.— Journal, June 11,1889. Five dollars a week is low wages, but it is not “pauper labor” by a good deal.— Journal, June 18,1889. In Great Britain coal miners receive from $1 to $1.12 a day. The miner’s lot is hard enough, but at the lowest wages ever paid or offered in the country the American miner can make a good deal more than (he foreign miners work for all the time. There is no “pauper labor” in the United States. It is an insult to call any man a pauper laborer who can earn even $6 a Week.—Journal, June 18, 1889, Not a single dollar has been added to (he wages of American labor in the iron industries since the passage of the McKinley bill. On the contrary, wages have been reduced. The only beneficiary of the tariff is the capitalist.—New York World.
