s-o~ processes II 81 l4a1 engraving were
very expeas4go. Bat now ths suR has
largely taken ths place ~ the h2nd
And yet tae cheaper processes q engrav-
ing. instead Of causing ths en- pl0y meat of
fewer artists, has required the serylces q
more and octlcr artists, 81 thai The most
skilled artists are ia greater demand and
bester paid tlaa ever. An almost entirely
new class OF artists, known a. pen and ink
aragg ghtsmen, has come Ia 70 the neld and
gone 10 The front rank OF Femuuerativc en-
ployment, some Of them tazing incomes Of
toui so.DcO o. $1,000 year. These ara the
gentlemen who have made the Illustrated
news spapers Of today far superior IA artistic
excellence 10 any thing ever known be fore.
The number OF artists thus employed Is far
greater than ever.
But II ) not alone in picture making that
the progress Of invention gives new en-
poyment for artists There IS an immense
~ wide field for designers Ia hundred de-
partments Of industry. For wall papers,
FOR carpets, for al sorts OF textile fabrics,
Tor slverware, for elegant furniture, in
oluding carving Of al sorts; for the million
products OF iron. India-rubber and brass
taere ara armies OF artists engaged 10
make patterns and desig gus that were never
needed "a the world until new processes Of
duplication created an almost Unsuitable
demand for variety
There has, OF course, been a vast stride
n this direction during the past ten years,
but even the last census shows how wide u
field for employment is supplied For in
stance, the yearly wages for engravers IS
put down az over a., 81. Co., for Photograph
ing az Sl,15O,l lis. and for lthographing
t.,3O9, ,303. When II Is considered that the
materials used also give employment 70
many wOrkmcn, IL must be admitted that
the field of employment IS infinitely greater
for artistic work than before the application
OF machinery
Other fields OF employment have also
been opened in the present generation for
vast numbers of workmen. In the cOnstruc-
ton Of electrical apparatus, OF watches, OF
machinery and tools, and the thousand and
one products of invention, there Is room for
the laoorer. There are more women en-
ployed even a. sewing, and at better
wages than ever, for the skilled. The type
writing machine has already it's army OF
wage earners. The discovery OF crude oil
has put leglons IT work, and, looking at
the whole subject, il must be admitted that,
though mechanical inventions have put a
great many persons out OF work, they have
also put great many persons into work,
besides producing for the multitude an
endless variety OF beautiful and useful as
well as cheap products.
