The Two Dollar Broker. Jors.

A big operator down In Wall street, who
was getting rather worried the other day
because the market, to use his picturesque
expression, did not act just right, 7"
gazed with an expression of envious re-
gret in his rather faded eyes after youth
full and debonnair two dollar broker who
had just gone whistling out Of the room.
"a two dollar broker" he said with q
sigh. ION the floor of the exchange, who
attends to his business and doesn't specu-
late. Is certainly one of the happiest men
know. He has no care and no responsi.
bilities. BE jumps in. buys or sells,
turns over the transaction to his princi-
pal. gets $2 for every hundred shares he
does. and when he goes uptown in the
afternoon promptly at o'clock. he has
no business to think about or to
harass him until the next morning at 10
o'clock when be comes down on the street.
In dull times his income may not be q
magnificent one, but there are at least
three or four active periods in every Wall
street year. and at this time he Is able to
average up with great success. | suppose
the income Of fairly good two dollar
broker Is somewhere between $1,000 and
$12, 900 year. Not only has he no care
from day to day, but he should have no
particular worry about the future. His
membership carries life insurance with
IL. and when he dies his family comes in
for handsome sum. When things go
wrong with me absolutely yearn for the
moderate competency and the placid exist
ence Of two dollar broker. New York

Tho Work Move, writers DO.

The writing of novels is, in England,
more nearly profession than any other
work In literature. The novelists, though
incidentally they may write poems or pa
pers, find their life work and their liveli-
hood in fiction writing, and most of them
rule their lives to that end. The reader
who skins the last new novel" In the
swift hours Of few days forgets, by rea.
son of its naturalness, the toll that has
gone to make it. The mere writing out
Of long novel. perhaps two or three
times over, Is q mechanical labor that
would sorely try the patience of most pa
tient people, and this is only the final and
outward expression of months of toll and
years Of study and experience that must
go to the making Of the book.
Anthony Trollope. the most business
like Of novelists. who once confirmed to

tion to the rule that novel writing is the

Sir Edward Sullivan, prominent En-
glish statesman. is one of our brethren
across the water who does not insist that
the people Of the United States should
adopt free trade to obligs their neighbors.
He even goes further than that and claims
that free trade is not good for England. In
an article contributed to the London Morn
ing Post, Conservative paper, he says:
Under free trade the masses must get
poorer. because they get less employment
A well-known statistical work gives COM
parison of the material progress of France
under protection and England under free
trade. IL there Is any truth In figures it
ought to startle us from our free trade
dream.
The comparison is based on the returns
of legacy duty.
In 1926 England was 10 shillings head
richer than France.
In 1850 England was 10 shillings head
richer than France.
In 1877 England was shillings head
poorer than France.
France has 81 per cent. of her land un-
der tillage. and it ID increasing every year.
The United Kingdom has 80 per cent.
Of land under tillage. and it is diminishing
every year, but the population of England
increases much more rapidly than the pop
Ilation of France.
The commerce of England has increased
81 per cent. in 10 years.
The commerce of France has increased
SO per cent. in 10 years.
The commerce of the United States has
increased IS per cent. In 10 years.
The commerce of the world has increased
90 per cent. in ten years.
So much for the blasting effects OF free
trade.
What do real workingmen, who labor
with brain and hand, and not merely with
their jaws, think Of this utterance-not by
a republican stump-speaker-bnt by an
intelligent Englishman, who knows what
free trade is, in its natural home, Eng
