DUMAS A PROLIFIC AUTHOR
But His Output of Books and Plays AvaIIed Him Nothing When He
 Sought Election.

One of the most original election ad- dresses on record was that issued by Dumas pere in 1S4S, when he stood for division of Paris. Although Dumas had been an ardent republican long be- fore the downfall of Louis Philippe, 1t was mainly as an employer of labor that he sought the suffrages of democ- racy. During the past 20 years Che wrote, 1t is recalled) have composed 400 volumes and 35 plays. Each vol ume averaged a sale of 4,000 copies, and each play averaged 100 perform ances. I have thus helped to give em- ployment to printers, papermakers, bookbinders, booksellers, etc.; also to actors, actresses, stage hands, scene painters, theatrical costumers, etc. The sale of my works produced about II, ,S53, ,0O0 francs, and the money paid to see my plays totaled about 6,360 900 francs. Taking the average daily wage of all concerned at three francs, and, reckoning 300 working days to the year, my books have kept 692 persons for 20 years and my plays have kept 1,041 persons for the same period.
 This address, of which huge quantf- ties were distributed, failed in its pur- pose. Two years later Dumas sought election for Guadeloupe and was again defeated. This so disgusted him that he never tried for election again.
