Tho Typewriter's Important Place In
American Commerce.

Anew and important American industry.
which, along with the telephone, the bicycle,
and the manufacture of apparatus and sup
plies for amateur photographers, has grown
up within the last twenty years, is that Of
the typewriter. In 1880 the aggregate
capital invested in all four Of the Industries
named was only a small part of what is now
employed in tho prosecution Of any one Of
them. While the telephone and the wheel
are ahead as regards the amount Of money
involved and the number Of people engaged
In their production and sale and In the pro-
duction and sale Of parts and supplies, the
third place on the list undoubtedly belongs
to the typewriter.
Any one who is disposed to question the
typewriter's claim to a commercial rank
above that occupied by the amateurs cam
era will do we'll to consider the remarkable
progress which the former has made since
its general introduction. Eighteen years
ago writing machines were very few and
were possessed chiefly by persons who had
a money interest In their production. The
whole number OF machines in existence at
that time was not 80 large as that which to-
day represents the daily output Of a single
factory, and their practical value In bust-
ness offices was by no means established.
Opinions differed as to whether the type
writer really facilitated or retarded the
work commonly done with the pen.
Before 1888 the typewriter's usefulness
to business men had been clearly demon
strated. The business men began to APP
preciate the advantages to be derived from
the machines great speed and the superior
legibility of its copy. Whether or not a
typewritten letter carried as much dignity
as one written with a pen, formed the sub
ject OF speculation, but doubts in that direo-
tlon soon disappeared in the urgency OF
business, and the demand for typewriteTs
increased rapidly. In 1890 thirty type
writer factories were in operation; they
employed 1.735 men, and the value of their
product was 5000, 1875. The machines
were used In nearly all the large CONNER
cial houses In New York and in other cities,
and excitement ran high among inventors
and promoters eager to profit by the activ-
ity Of the trade.
30 helpful mad the typewriter become In
places Of business, and so favorable were
the reports concerning its simplicity, dura-
bility, and manipulation, that 1t soon found
its way into the workshops Of ~olergymen,
novelists. playwrights. journalists, and
even into homes, where 1t was employed to
facilitate the studies Of spelling and COM
position among children. In 1895 one type
writer company a regular employment
to 1900 workmen. During that year some
Of the leading makers were weeks behind
In their orders. In New York a great deal
Of rivalry existed among typewriter con-
Germs in the effort to supply the trade.
In 1896 a careful estimate placed the
number OF machines In use at not less than
46o, 1000. During the year following 8.A26
typewriters were used In thirtyfour ofice
buildings In this city. A statement pub
lished In the Photographic World Of April.

This very remarkable letter requires O

"To TEE EDrron OF THE suN-Sir: To impress

nish them with some data. Would you therefore be

Key West, July lit is reported that
General Macias, of Porto Rico, has recent
ly discovered a conspiracy, which, had it
not been effectively checked, would soon
have had the island in a state of insur-

the Philippines.
Eduardo Baselga and Damian Castillo,
both prominent native Porto Ricans and
active leaders in the incipient insurrec-
tion, have been executed and three others
are in prison awaiting trial.
1t is believed by many that the execu-
tion of Castillo and Baselga, instead of
checking the insurrection, will have the
opposite effect.
The military guards around the palace
and the government buildings have been
doubled, as it is believed that the con-
