ing tickets and arranging for the lecture,
after reducing expenses by obtaining gas,
coal and hall rent free 80 that they amounted
in the aggregate to but sl3.4j, secured only
q pitable total for the benefit Of the poor
why i 8 this thus p is the pertinent inquiry
of the late lameutsd A. Ward. Simply
because Of the extortionate demands OF the
lecturer for the mere mechanical mi.horse
labor OF an hour or two. This circumstance
allows On opportunity Of again attacking the
determination known ss the Lecture system
and of exposing its extortion, There Ia no
reason why a lecturer for the mere
delivery of lecture which any elocutionist
could perform as WE'LL should demand or
receive so exorbitant "a sum. The fact has
become apparent that the various lecture
bure~us os tho oountry, using lectures and
lecturers ~ marketable articles have
entered into q conspiracy to ext0tionate
Mems Chaistain Associations. Mr. Milburn
is passed around like shuttle cock from
one lecture bureau TO the other, in proportion
to the demand there may be for his wares
| in the various lecture markets. The Young
Mems Christian Association obtained him
| from the Brooklyn Bureau of Lectures, and
the Davenport Library Association procured
| him from a similar concern in Detroit. The
| Detroit house in turn obtained q few nights
of him from Brooklyn and disposed Of one
| of them in Davenport. Now it is not so as is
genersllyundersto that the lecturer pockets
the entire proceeds OF his lecture. He dis
burses liberal PERCENTAGE of his receipts TO
these same Montague Tiggs of the Lecture
Bureau commission, who Sc. up in business
with a little stationery, no deserts except the
con fdencc of lecturers who believe 10 their
ability to "buli' up the price OF their wares
in the lecture market, and are uptown with
lat residue from the lecture going public of
, America.
The deserts of the lecturers themselves
are something impsl psble. For an ephem
era!, vamped up, stale literary production
prepared by few days leisurely effort, they
receive prices varying from 500 to $3.50
per night, as often as they may be called
upon to repeat it. As an intellectual effor
! | the lecture is nothing after the lecturer ha:
laid down his pen. After that i, is tn,
8 merest sawdust to him, and TO discrimi

tombstone Of publication. If it contains
valuable information, let who desires pur

would soon appreciate, the difference in va

Ore thing has approved itself to the judg
ment of all societies hiring professional lee
lures, and tina, ia, that they don't pay. This
one for the benefit Of the poor illustrates
that fac. The incidental expenses were
