While those who deal in dry goods, those who furnish builders’ supplies, and mer chants who sell the necessaries of life, are looking for an extraordinarily prosperous trade this fall says Holland, in a letter from New York to the Philadelphia Press, in one d-partment of trade is to be found some thing akin to despair. I have been talking with a number of our publishers this week, as well as those whose business it is to deal in literary work, and I find the opinion common among them all, that so far as imaginative literature is concerned, the publishing houses look for little business and no profits. Some interest ing facts were gleaned respecting the re markable change which has been developed within the past three or four years in the business of book writing and book publish ing. Until five years ago, one of our leading publisners tells me, 90 per cent, of all the books published were first issued in book form. He was speaking of romantic litera ture, such as novels, tales, stories of adven ture, and the like. A few short years have reversed this order of things. Now nearly everything is first published serially, ex cepting the trash novels of the silly, senti mental school, and the audacious stories whose theme is a salacious one. This has resulted in developi :g with extraordinary rapidity, the number of writers of Ameri can stories, so that everywhere ia the country are springing up writers of tales, many of whom do excellent work and gain local reputations, while others promise even better tilings in their future performance. AMERICAN STORIES WANTED. Instead of there being a decline in the passion for reading works of imagination, it has increased enormously, l ut the pub lishers do not get the benefit of it. Most of the stories are printed erially in news papers of local or of national reputation. It is a fact that with a swiftness of develop ment unprecedented, the pross has not ouly to a great extent taken away from the book publishers what was once an important de partment of their trade, but has also vastly increased the number of those who delight in story telling. This publisher who thus expressed him self believed that out of this condition would come an entire change speedily In the book publishing business. Some of the s-oriee’which contain merit sufficient to justify the putting In of them in permanent form, will be reprinted, and there are a few authors of established repute who may con tinue first to issue their works in book form; but the greater part of these serially pub liahed stories, be thought, would prove to be of the brief and ourrent interest only whloh journalistic publication compels. It seemed to him that out of this might oome ultlmatelv the the new and greatly longed for American novel or aeries of American novels, for, in his opinion, no one writer in this county will ever produce the Ameri can uovel. He thought ao, because the de mand is mighty for stories which portray American life as it now exists or has existed in the past. DO WRITERS GAIN OR LOOSE? At first thought it might seem that those who writs would lie loseri by this develop ment, but they appear on the contrary, to have vastly gained, at least so far as pe cuniary rewards are concerned. A novelist who has written three or four stories of American life, which have boon meritorious, and brought him some repute, told me a few days ago that one of his stories pub lished hy Harpers, and which they said had sold far above tho average, brought him in $540 royalty. Another story of his pub lished tiy the Appletons, which sold well, yielded him in royalties scarcely enough to pay lor the pen, ink, and paper which be used in writing it, and less than he had sometimes gained in two days’ work of a special nature for a newspaper. Now, on tho other hand, a retired army officer, w hose first book was published by Harpers, and which yielded him but little, his, within a year or so, sold his stories to a syndicate of na - spapers. Last year he re ceived from this source over #l(j,ooJ, and expects to do better this year. CAPT. KING'S POP ULARITY. I asked a gentleman who is familiar with the business of syndicating stories, how Capt. King’s works stood, and he said the demand for them was very gireat, and if he proved equal to it, he would, in a few years, accumulate a fortune. Now, Capt. Ki ig might have published his stories iu book form for many years and he would proba bly have received less in royalties, all told, tlian he has earned in one year by permit ting his tales to be published serially and simultaneously iu different parts of the country. This gentleman, whose business it is to know what the reading public wauts in this direction, said that the newspapers have cultivated a passion for story reading which is simply enormous; it exists everywhere. It requires both a long continued serial and novelettes, as well as stories complete in one issue, to satisfy it. He said that he had no ticed, too, that the American public was no longer satisfied with the reprints from English magazines or English books. They are ready to read series published simulta neously here and ia England, but want no more reprints of Miss Braddon or any of the English story writers. The dema ,and for Amerieau stories is so great that a contra t has just been entered into with Br it Harte’s Boston publishers, by which all of Harto’s earlier tales, originally published in book form, are to be reprinted serially by diifer ent newspapers in the country. HIGH PRICES FOR NEW STORIES. There was a time when Mrs. Burnett would have thought it undignified to permit her stories to appear serially anywhere than in magazines, She no longer labors under that delusion. 1 saw some months ag > a contract which the publishers of a weekly pajer made with her, by which she bound herself to give them her next long story, and for which she was to receive SIO,OOO, and did receive a good proportion of that in advance. Those same i üblishers, after some negotiation, persuaded Robert Louis Steven son with the golden bait of $17,000 to sell them his next story to bo published serially. Edgar Fawcett reoeived more money for one of his stories which was published serially than for any one of the others printed originally in book form. llllustrations could be multiplied which go to show that this new development is of the utmost advantage to writers, and mokes it now possible for the novelist who has a story worth reading to feel some as surance tnat he will receive for it a sum sufficient to justify tho writing of it. Nor is there any danger that this form of pub lication will eclipse a writer’s reputation. If popularity is developed, his name will bo worth far more to the newspaper pub lishers who buy his tales thau it would be to the book pubiisaers who would print bis stories in book form. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1890. It seems, taen, as though the day of roy alties had pos ed, and with the passing of it comes a wider and mo;e hopeful opportu nity for those who Uuuk they have the gift of telling a story well. It is the opinion of ail competent to judge that never was a more golden harvest offered for a compe tent writer than stan Is ready for his reap ing in this country to-day, and he must thank the newspapers for it. LITERARY REWARDS. This is as true of special literary workers as it is of romancing. The rewards which ave age competence may now find in lit erary work are far greater than the returns which average competence finds in the pro fessions. In this city, for instance, a writer who lives by bis pen, and who does market able work with It, will find bis income larger than that of 75 per cent, of the law yers or doctors or clergymen of this city. Some nieu here are rapidly accumulat ing fortunes. Bill Nye, for instance, re ceives fur his newspaper work about #li,- 009 a year, and in addition to that makes as much more by his lectures, so that he who a few years ago was scrubbiug out; a bare livelihood in the wilds of the west, bids fair to become as wealthy as Mark Twain, who has won the most conspicuous pecuniary success from his writings of any contem porary, whether English or American, ex cepting \V. S. Gilbert. Nye is making his fortuneiu fun. as Mark Twain did; but, on the other hand Dr. Talmage is receiving for his newspaper specialties something like SIB,OOO a year, aud could earn more if he had the time to do it. So that while fun pays enormously, the more serious and solemn lessons of life are inculcated with even larger pecuniary returns. IN THE OLD TIMES. Compare now the success of some of these moderns with the comparatively paltry re turns of those who did their work in the time gone by. Tnere was Miss Cummings, a Boston school teacher, who wrote a story whose sale has been exceeded only by “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and over which the children and young folks of two generations ago wept and smiled. That was called “The Lamp Lighther,” and it still has a sale. Yet, notwithstanding the hundreds of thousands of copies of her book which have been sold, she received from it in all less than she could have earned by teaching. There were the Warner sisters, who wrote in solitude, living on a little island up the Hu sen, whose "Wide, Wide World” was one of the groat hits in literature of aute war times. They got a modest sum for it, but not enough to have supported them had they not lived in the simplest maimer. Poe starved, although partially to blame him self, and his rewards are post-mortem ones. Nathaniel Hawthorne used to tell, with a pathetic smile, of the humble sums he re ceived for his masterpieces. No romancer, excepting Cooper, Washington Irving, and, in a lesser degree, Donald U. Mitchell, ever received any such sums us have come to the latter-day writers whose stories appear in the press. Miss Alcott, by a phenomenal and unex pected hit with “Little Women,” and two or three works which followed it got togethor a fortune of SIOO,OOO. But she and Mark Twain are the only writers de veloped since the war, up to within five years, who have gained much more than a bare living from tbeir works. John Hab berton’s “Helen’s Babies,” waich sold enor mously, gained a ridiculously small sum in royalties from it, and the chief value of that publication to him was that it made liis next work salable. Bret Harte might have coined money, and he did receive some large sums early in bis career, but his own erratic course and unbusinesslike methods stood like a bulwark between him and pecuniary success. THE PROSPECT IN THE FUTURE. Such considerations as those just given are what lead publishers here and those whose business it is to deal with the work of the pen to think that the new develop ment is bound to be permanent aud of mighty consequence. They have no doubt that out of it will come something of last ing worth to American literature, some thing which shall re erase nt later ideas and the modern tread of thought, and prove the new literature, which is after all the old in spirit. The true literature is truth, and the art of story-telling can never be mors perfectly developed than it was by the princes of ro mance who lived ages ago. ’ The trouble with most of our latter-day literature has been that it has not been truthful, aud the most untruthful of all is that of the so-called realistic school, whiob the vast public recog nizes as lacking the spirit which has made story-telling the charm of all the ages. So it will lie to the press, and to the mighty stimulus which it has created and the vast opportunities which it gives in the field of romantic literature, that the American lovers of story-telliug will be indebted. MR. REED TO BE ASKED TO NEW YORK. It is the desire of the republican state committee that Speaker Reed deliver two or three speeches iu New Y< rk state when the fall campaign opens, and if he cannot make more than one address he is to lie in - vited to speak to tile New York city re publicans iu Cooper Institute seme time iu October. WHIPPED FOB SUNDAY HUGGING How the Furitans Treated a Ship Cap tain and His Rovenge. The follow mg anecdote gives an interest ing insight into the prejudices common among certain people in America in connec tion with the Sunday question many years ago. The story is told as follows in the Uni versal Magazine tor 1775: “Sou<e years ago a commander of one of his majesty’s ships of war stationed at Boston had orders to cruise from time to time, in order to protect our trade ail distress the enemy. It happened, unluckily, that ho returned from one of his cruises on a Sunday, and as he had left bis lady at Boston, the moment she heard of the ship’s arrival she hastened down to the water’s side iu order to receive him. The captain, on binding, embraced her wiih tenderness and affection. This, as there were many spectators by, gave great offense, and was considered as an act of indecency and a flagrant profanation of the Sabbath. “The next day, therefore, he was sum moned before the magistrate, who, with many :evere rebukes aud pious exhorta tions, ordered him to be publicly whipped. The captain stifled his indignation and re sentment as much as possible, and as the punishment, from the frequency of it, was not attended with any greit degree of igno miny or disgrace, ho mixed with the best company, was well reoeived by them, and they were apparently good friends. At length his time at the station expired, and he was recalled. He went, therefore, with seeming concern to take leave of his worthy friendi, and that they might spend one happy day together before their final separation he invited the principal may..stratus and selectmen to dine with him on board his ship upon the day of his depasture. They accepted the invi tation, and nothing could be more joyous nod convivial than the eatertahimeut which he gave them. “At length the fatal moment arrived that was to separate them; the anchor was apeak, the sails were unfurled, and nothing more was wanting but tho signal to get under way. The captain, after taking an affectionate leave of his worthy friends, ac companied them upon deck, where the boat swain and crew were in readiness to receive them. He then thanked them afresh for the civilities they hail shown him, of which he said he should retain an eternal remembrance, and to which be wished it had been in his power to have made a more adequate return. One point of civility ouly remained to be ad justed between them, which, as it was in his power, so he meant most justly to recompense them. Ho then reminded them of what had passed, and, ordering the crew to pinion them, bod them brought one by one to the gangway, where the boatswain, with a cat-o-nine tails, laid on the backs of each forty stripes, save one. They were ttien, ami 1 the shouts and acclamatl >ns of tbe crow, shoved iuto tneir boats, and the captain i ninediateiy getting under way sailed for Eu gland. DANIEL HOGAN. THIS IS HO6AN’S= =W E E K.
