THE NOVEL OF JAMES.
We have gone little cut of our track, this
month, AID paid an English author, C. P. K.
James, 5000 for his story, for we do not see
thai we have any more right to appropriate
a mans hrainlwork. than TO put on his coat
and hat, and march of as if the broad cloth
and fell were our own property. We have
paid all the contributors TO this number their
own price, and that night willmgly,-mow
the simple but pregnant questions WHICH we
put 10 the American press and American
people, are:-' Shall we have an American
lierature?r lsit as profitable to scissors as to
buy?
We think that we-one oil the hewers of
wood and drawers Of water, 10 the field of
labor occupied by American magazines,
have right 10 ask these questions and we
ask them. Brothers OF the hardy west, the
sunny South and toiIing east-what say YOU?
