TMG CUSTOM OF TIPPiNG.
Efforts Which An; Ileitis Made in Cer
tain 2unrters to oudemu It Into
Disuse.
In discussing the "Kcoivjniiu F.fi'ects
or TIpiiIhk" Guntem's .Magazine says
that it is a remnant or the later middle
uges. It was born of the sympathetic,
patronising instinct ot "masters" to
give the laborer sixpence in apprecia
tion of special attention, or out of sym
pathy for exceptional haplships arising
from an unusually large family, sicK
uoss. or other sen lal disadvantages. As
wage conditions developed and laborers
became more ilelinili ly grotiprd by In
dustries in which imiloiniity of wages
prevailed, the patronizing liulilt of giv
ing an extra groat declined. Very na
turally so, as tin' effort of the laborer
to obtain more wage's Involved friction
W illi the employ e l s which tended to de
stroy tin' motive to drop the laborer an
extra sixpe nce.
In all the complex industries where
Ilie highest organization, best wages
and greatest freedom among the la
borers exist, tips have long since disap
peared. A in I icnversely. where wage
conditions are loss de velop d und the
sentiment of wardship and the mini
mum individuality exists among labor
ers, the tipping system l. most preva
lent. In Spain. Italy and on tin- Kuro
pean continent generally. It Is so preva
lent as lo amount almost to inenillcaii
cy. in Knglntie!, It Is sullielently pn va
leiit to be offensive to one not reared in
the atmosphere of arlsteicraiie institu
tions. In the Fulled States we have been
comparatively free from this offensive
Feiui-ineiidleancy. During the lust
few years, however, the tipping habit
has been gradually on t!n iiiiTeiiue
unions a ccitaln class of laborers. The
occupations in which this system Is
chlelly piae tieed are domestic servants,
eoni'hmcii, barbel's, waiters at hotels
and restaurants, and porters on railway
trains. It will be; obscrwd that ties'
occupations are nearly all lilled by fur-cigne-is
and negroes who f'r the most
part have been reared mnler the pai ion
izing and srnil-f .iie;! Inpiiciiccs eif p.i
ternal or ante-wage conditloim. The
colored people represent the remnants
of meiiialisin resulting from centuries of
slavery. The Italian. Spanish arid
French waiters nnd Kngiish and Irish
i-oacliiiieii have the same menial im
press, received In the atmosphere of the
aristocratic, patronizing conditions of
Kill-ope.
Tipping, ns n practice, is offensively
un-American ami positively unicoiio
mle. It is un-Aincricnn, not nieiely be
cause it did not nrl.-ee in America, but
because It is coo;nr.:- io the whole
spirit nnd genius of American life and
Institutions. It is a system of paying
for services pui'ily in charity, which
Is always injurious, both to those who
give and to those who receive; it in
jures those who give, in tending t;i
create tit austere' seiiilmeiit that thry
are giving something for noth::ig. for
which the recipient Is u:iilc I peisonal
obligations; It Is (b giadirg to the recip
ient, because It is n voluntary gif'..
for which he can put In no economic.'
claim, and consequently must pay for
in personal gratitude or obligation,
.which always means the surrender of
personality; It Is especially offeiiMVe In
this country, b-cause it rests on no
recognized principle of equity or pay
ment of cciuivalents.
Tips are uneconomic because they
make the laborers' incom" pre carious
and accidental, without making it larg
er or bringing any other ccrrcspoiullng
benefits. The I til til Is. unit it Is grad
ually coming to lie recognized, that tile
laborers gain absolutely nothing by
tips; what they gain in tips they los
in wages. All the lucaialisni exercise'. 1
to obtain tips, and the Inconvenb-me
resulting from the uncertainty ami uu
evenness of the amount of Income, is
so much disadvantage cine to the tip
ping system, for which the laborer
receive no equivalent.
In all the occupations where tipping Is
prevalent, so far as any permanent ten
dency exists, It is to reduce the wages
proportionate to the size of the tips, so
that the larger the tips the lower the
wages, mid the smaller the tips the
higher the wages, and where no tips
exist wages ure highest of all. This Is
a necessary part of the economic prin
ciple governing wage distribution.
Wages everywhere tend to equal Hie
cost of living or the laborers; ir the
Income is from two sources instead of
one, then the tendency will be to lessen
one or both of the sources, until they
Jointly equal the- cost of living. If one
source is lixed und the other continge nt,
as one wages and the other tips, the
fixed will diminish bi proportion as the
contingent increases, und vice versa.
The writer of the article Is encouraged
to know that one large corporation lit
New York city has taken the first st'-p
toward the abolition of this tipping sys
tem. The New York Central Railroad
company has provided a staff of porters
to aid passengers with their baggage
from its curs to the waiting rooms,
hacks and street cars. These portera
have a special uniform, a conspicuous
lecture of which Is a red cup. The
company takes great pains to Inform Its
patrons and the public thnt these por
ters "ure itild by the company" and
need not and "should not be tipped."
If the public will co-operate with the
company this reform will be a success,
and may be expected soon to be adopted
by other corporations throughout the
country, and hoi ultimately, rid the
American public of a European nwlt-
n nee which everybody resents but few
can Indiv idually afford to resist.
