one of Bernbardt's American tours Melted
her $500. 900, and Lily Langtrv made her
first American tour on guarantee OF
81, OO0 week. The earnings and invest

millionaire: Denman Thompson often
makes from $4,000 to $4,000 week, and
Evans and Hoey In seven years have made
$500. 0e0. Joseph Jefferson, who for several
wears paid William j. Florence $1,000 a
week Stuart Robson, William 4. Crane,
Neil Burgess, Nat. Goodwin, Sol. Smith
Russell, Edward Harrigan, Oliver Dowd
Byron, james II. Wallick. and Richard
Mansfield are all large and steady money
makers, and all are well-to-do, Jefferson
Comedy, with a few exceptions. al
ways pays better than tragedy, and
Francis Wilson, of comic-opera fame, is
probably the largest and steadiest money
maker now before the American public.
He relinquished salary of $500 week to
become star. and his starring tours have
all been immensely profitable. Wilson is
economical in his ways, and if he lives ten
years will be very rich man. Mary
frequently made $4,000 week, and
Lillian Russell, Pauline Hall, Lolita,
Modjeska. Fanny Davenport. Maggie
Mitchell. Clara Morris. and Annie Pixley
each make a comfortable fortune every
year. Lolita is worth close to q million,
and is the richest actress living. But the
earnings Of the most popular players fall
far below those of the great opera singers.
Patti never sings for less than $4,000 night;
Sembrich has often received 81. 500 for a
single performance; Campanini has been
paid 5000 mouth and Jean do Reszke.
during his American tour last year, was
paid 81 800 for EACH performance, and 20
per cent. of the box receipts. His brother
Edouard was paid $500 for each perform
ance. Play.making. when one succeeds at
1t, is one OF the most profitable OF callings.
Bronson Howard. Charles Ii. Hoyt, Henry
q. de Mile, David Belasco. and William II.
Gillette all make not less than $26, 900
every year, and Howard's income in some
recent years has often trebled that amount.
ARTISTS AND ILLUSTRATORS.
What does the professional artist earn
is o question to which no definite and ex-
plicit answer can be given. The leaders
earn large incomes. tho beginners are
thankful for what they can get. and be-
tween the two there Is Q large middle
class whose skill assures them comforta-
bic living. X. A. Abbey has for several

atrahan. whose annual earnings for many
wears seldom fell below $4,000, left his
heirs nothing but his law books. At the
present time the earnings OF John Il. Par
sons are probably larger than those OF any
other New York lawyer. He earns regu-
larly from $4,000 TO 100000 year.
and il is the general opinion OF the
profession that the fee which he
received for organizing the sugar
trust. which has since been dissolved by
the courts, did not fall below $3.50. GOO ana
some estimates have put II at treble that
sum. II was without doubt the largest
single fee ever received by an American
LAWYER. The earnings of James &. Carter
are nearly as LARGE as those of Mr.. Parsons.
and Il is said that the annual income OF
Bourke Cochran has for several years ex-
ceedod $4,000 but portion Of this great
sun has come yearly from the successful
speculations for which the brainy and eio-
quent irish lawyer is known TO have a
fondness. A list of the New York

Mckinley law was passed have also
greatly decreased. Whereas. in tn

6.58 strikes. IN the y ar 1891, follow

A MOnLN1UUS CHANGE.

The Great Northern Railway Com.
psny has Withdrawn from the Trans
continental Association, and an
nouncsd its decision to base its rates
upon . new system the charges to be
according to the number of miles Of
hauling or travel.
The Transcontinensal Association
was made up Of oil railways trsversing
the continent. The earnings went
into . common pool, aud were d.
vided on basis agreed upon. All
roads identified with tho association
were required to charge similarly for
freight and passenger service. But
those charges Disseminated against
the way or interior stations, in favor
Of terminal or competitive points.
For instance, it formerly cost $500 to
have q carload of candles hauled from
Ogden to San Francisco, while the
charge for hauling the same carload
from Ogden to EIko, . distance
shorter BY over 600 miles, or two>
thirds, was 5000.
This new departure OF the Great
Northern is the most momeutous
happening in. the West since the
adoption Of the Homestead act and
the building Of tho Union and Gem
trail Pacific Railways: 1t will events
uate in something like just rates be.
ing secured at last. In future, il .
man wishes to travel from, say, Haley
to Denver OF St. LOUIS. he will not be
compelled to pay IS much fare a. il
he were going to New York or Port>
land. Me. So with freight. 1t will
therefore BE- possible fer manufactures
Of al kinds to be established in the
interior, in competition with those at
far. distant points, and with the ad.
vantage Of locality in favor of the
local or home industry.
To be sure, the Northern tier OF
States between St. Paul and Puget
Sound is the only region that will b.
benefited at present by tho Gte.,
Northern's change Of basis Of charges.
But this new departure will commend
itself SO strongly to the general public
that the other transco ntinental road.
will be compelled to adopt it before
many months elapse.

CLEVELAND MEN AGHAST.

The Bottom knocked From Under the
Democratic Platform The Mckinley
Law Praised by the Democratic state
Labor Commissioner Ol New York
What II Is Doing for That State.
Press pispatch.l
ALBANY, N. Y, August 29.-Has
Senator Hill thrown down the gauntlet
in New York State to the Democratic
National Committee? This is q live
question among politicians at the cap
ital tonight, and the presence Ct Sen.
ator Hill on the ground makes it all
the more significant. The question is
raised by the annual report OF Labor
Commissioner Peck, which, strangely
enough deals directly with the tariff
question and lauds tho Mckinley bill
aud its effects IN this State in . way
that will make good campaign mate.
rial for tho Republicans. The very
fact that this particular subject is thus
discussed at such critical time to
the minds of Cleveland Democrats. is
exceedingly suspicious. They do.
nounce tho document as treason to
the party aud q treacherous effort to
knock the tariff reform plank OF the
platform from under Mr.. Clevelandss
feet. The fact that Commissioner
Peck owes his place to Senator Hill
ana is regarded IS one OF his close po-
li,ical friends, is held up ss an indica-
ton OF collision, Senator Hill takes
the situation coollv and laughs At the
maledi tons showered upon his friend
and himself.
II don't know anything about the
matter" he said tonight, 81 never
saw the report"
His followers here also laugh
"What do these fellows want TO
worry about little thing like labor
report?" they say; Suppose 1t does
UPSET THEIR CAMPAIGN ARGUMENTS,
didn't MI. Cleveland tell the truth?
Besides, the antisnappers claim they
can get along without New York."
Mr.. Peck said to. night.
Il rather expected my report would
cause some comment, but it is al non
sense to call it political document,
! started this inquiry in December,
1891, so you see .here Was no thought
of the present campaign in laying out
the work. The tariff question WAS
taken up because It has come to be-
one OF the greatest moment to the
workingman, in whose interest my
bureau WAS established. Now am =
Democrat Hill Democrat, if you
willard began this inquiry with
the belief that the result would vinii.
cate the Democratic tariff position.
The first returns came from the silk
industry and were very pleasing to
my way OF thinking. But l am free

to admit that the report - . whole is
not in harmony with the Democratic
platform so far - the tariff 10
concerned. However. my duty -
State official 10 to report things 40 !
find them, not as . reckless partisan
would like to have them construed.
There is no political bias about any
oismy reports. nor do ! believe there Is
10 the reports OF any labor bureau in
the country. All l can say 10 that the
statements of my report are based
ON ACTUAL CONFIDENTIAL LETTERS
received fron 5000 representatives of
wholesale manufacturers of New York
State. Tho result shows me that
leading Democratic speakers are 10
error % to the effects Of the Mckinley
bill. The figures of my report speak
for themselves and there is no getting
away from them"
In dealing with the subject Of tariff
investigation Mr.. Peck explains that
the cost of living. including neces-
ssries that 60 to make it up, has been
given no attention. and only that
phase of the subject has been Investi.
gated which relates to the increase or
decrease of the production and rat. .
of wages paid. The period covered
ny the investie alton includes the year
Immediately prior to the enactment
Of tho Mckinley bill and the year
immediately following its becoming =
law. This Is for the year commencing
September /, 1889, up to and includ-
ing August 81. 1890, and the year
commencing September l, 1890. up
to and including August 81, 1891.
Some eight thousand blanks were
addressed and mailed 70 as many
separate establishments throughout
the State, and Of this number 5000 or
rs per cent. were returned fully and
correctly answered BY leading firms.
From sixty. seven industries covered,
it appears that there was a net in
crease in wages of s6,377.925 in the
year 1891, as compared with the
amount paid in 1890, and a net in.
crease in the production of $3l ,3l5,>
1870 in the year 1891 over that Of
1890.
A simple analysis of the table fur
ther demonstrates that of sixty seven
industries, u per cent. Of them show
an
INCREASE OF WAGES
or production or both and that there
were no fewer than 89,717 instances
OF individual increases of wages dur>
ing the same year. The total trades
represented amount 10 1921 and give
employment to 2S5,O0O workingmen
and women. A comparative table is
also given showing the increases and
decreases OF the average yearly earn
incs Of employees in year 1891 over
1890. or sixty-eieht industries in.
clud-d rs per cent. Of them show On
increased average Of yearly earnines
in the wear 1891, while tn. total aver
age increase Of YEARLY earnings oil
2S5,0O0 employees was $23 IL,
In addition TO an investigation OF
this special subject the bureau ha,
continued its annual investigation oil
all labor disturbances occurring in the
tate during the past wear. The to'a
number Of strikes reported for shs
wear 1891 was 4519 as against 625s
: occurring in the year 1890, a decrease
of 1910. OF the total number, 2375
