THE REWARDS OF LITERATURE.
Scarcely Another Profession In Which
There are so Many Disappointed
People.

In the March Ladies' Home Journal
Edward w. Box cditorlally writes of the
rewards of literature, and It's disappoint-
ments to those who are attracted to the
profession by the Turing and very often
greatly exaggerated reports Of big prices
paid some famous authors. Mr.. Box disposes
of these will-o' the-wisp stories and I'M
qualificdyl asserts that mot one tenth of
the entire literary profession of this coun-
try and England makes sufficient money
TO live upon. Not ten out of every hun
dred authors receive enough for their
work to support them. There Is scarcely
another profession In which there are SO
many disappointed and heart broken peo-
pie The ranks are full of them. They strive
hard; they work morning, noon and
night, and they do tolerably good work
But the results are not worth the effort
in nine cases out of, ten. Why Is this,
some one asks. There arc two reasO Ons for
it, First, an author can produce, each
year, just so much work which is good
and that the public cares TO read. That
quantity is necessarily small A mans
capacity for really good literary work is
wonderfully limited. He must, therefore,
get well paid for everything he does, or
the sum total is insufficient for the work.
The second reason lies In the contracted
ness of the market. We have magazines
almost without number, and publishing
houses in plenty. But how much material
can one author sell year to all these
channels combinedy Two
novels at the utmost, a half dozen arti-
clcs and as many poems. Let him give
moro than that and no matter how good
may be his work nc Is at once accused of
writing too much-a fatal criticism for
any writer On the one hand therefore,
Is a limited capacity, and on the othor
contracted market And between these
tho author must live--or starvc.
Good literary work will always find its
market. But IL is not a profitable market
To the many 1t pays well, but not ms
thousands have an idea that ID does.
There Is n living to be had out Of litera.
turc by tireless work and good writing;
n fair, comfortable living But that Is
all

The Journal ought to be reminded that
no issue of currency reform was involved
in tfe last national election. The funda-
mental standard of our currency was
assailed by the Bryanites and the money
question discussed and decided was
whether this country would abolish its
standard and accept the free silver propo-
sition or cling fast to the practice of that
which made our money sound. "Cur-
rency reform" was little side matter
introduced by the late administration to
sidetrnck discussion of its revenue policy.
Currency reform has never been con-
spicuous as national issue since specie
payments were resumed and as President
Mckinley yesterday declared, we cannot
take time to consider any change in our
money system, whatever may be desirable,
until we have something besides borrowed
money to talk about
