Blaine and the Harpers.

Cath, in Philadelphia Times.
Mr. Elkins has been to see Blaine within tho
past few days, and he told me Just before Blaine
arrived here that when Blaine was about to
make contract for his book Elkins said to him:
Now, the Harpers are the people to publish that
book for you, as they control good many pub
LEGATIONS which might be useful in your presi-
dental contests. Blaine replied: IT am not
going to present SO, 900 to the Harpers and am
not candidate for President He had then
made his arrangements with the Connecticut
house which has since issued the book, and they
gave him the highest kind of copyright, better
than regular publishers give. There is con
hict in the country between what are
called the trade publishers and the sub
scription publishers. The latter have shown
good deal of ability to deal with men of high
regulations and tempt them into the publishing
field. When knew Mark Twain about fifteen
years ago he had no money, or next to none,
wrote newspaper letters at $25 apiece, and had
been refused permission by newspaper to coll
lect the letters he wrote for them, "A subscrip-
ton book house took hold of him, put him on
his feet, gave him both rest and revenue and
by the time he was married he was himself fair
ly independent in fortune. Some of the distin-
gushed men, like jefferson Davis, who have
written their memoirs for the regular publishing
houses, have been discouraged in the sales The
big publishing house, with its many enterprises
is somewhat restricted in the power to bring ali
its capacity to bear upon single book The
small book publisher, who has mastered the de-
tails Of the subscription business, can take a
book like Blaines and put behind it ten thous-
sand canvassers at once and push it onward
with that rapidity which is the genius Of the
business
