MAKING CHEAP BOOKS.
Five Thousand Cheap Novels an Hour
Printed in One Place in New York.
From the Palffrnore Sun

Books of 100 to 300 pages, printed in clear
type, on reasonably good paper, and fairly
well bound in cloth, with decorated and
gilt backs, can be bought for Is cents
apiece. and in some stores at two for
a quarter" As a rule, they are either
standard works or else novels which
without being standard are favorites with
a great many people. Before these books
can be sold at such a price they must be
manufactured in very large quantities.
Photo-engraying and like devices have
greatly cheapened the cost of making
books by wholesale, so that the book
which is either good or bad enough to be
commercially worth manufacturing by the
ten thousand can be put on the mar
ket for almost nothing 1t may be added
however, that this does not encourage
literary activity 10 the extent that might
be supposed, for il costs about as much
to manufacture a few hundred or few
thousand copies Of a book now as 1t ever
did And most books never get beyond
few thousand copies at the outside.
1t is in the manufacture Of the cheap
novel that the modern science of book
making vindicates itself most triumphant
~. The Minneapolis Times says: "A con-
temporary gives a highly interesting de-
scription Of the modern machinery for
making the cheap novel There Is an es-
Establishment in New York which prints

on each Of which 40 pages may be
screwed, and as the long strip of paper
goes through one side Is printed and then
the other making 1t possible TO print $50
pages at every revolution. The strip of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together IN the shape of volume,
with the edges ali trimmed. Every time
the great cylinder goes round novel is
printed, folded and trimmed" 1t Is easy
to turn out 5000 an hour from such a press,
and the number can be increased to 1000
These can be bound at the rate Of nifty
minute, and the total cost Of each will
not be over cents. When these new
books, If they are novels of a specially
sensational character, are put on the
market at 50 cents each, but the price
falls as the sale grows slower, until at last
they find their way to the scent counters
Of the secondhand dealers.
Every now and then a book that is
neither very good nor very bad will have
run that win justify printing large edi-
tions, but as a rule only standard works
held in universal favor can compete for
place on the fast presses Of the sensational
novel Pilgrims Progress, for instance,
can more than hold its own with
the class of books that are to be
seen at the railroad and hotel
news stands, but no second-rate
book can. 1t is only the very good
that can compete with the very bad for
public favor. The cheap book means
great deal. 1t is silently and rapidly co,
operating with the newspapers TO produce
great changes in the whole structure and
habits Of society. Some Of them may
be for the worse, at least for the time
being. Most of them will be for the bet,
ter. At any rate they are bound to come.
They only way to stop them would be to
stop the presses that can print 5000 books
an hour. And the world has got past
that

After the lady lion tanner had performed
a serpentine dance in the cage, the intrep-
id director entered it, and announced to
the public that the sole object of his novel
undertaking was to give the readers of
his journal an idea of his impressions in
a den of lions. Upon receiving the sub
ject for his poem Sig. Polazz sat down al
a small table provided with writing ma
terials, seized a quill and composed the
ritornello quite obvious, to all appear
ance of the lions presence. In five min
utes the work was completed, and the
author then stepped out of the cage and
read the poem amidst the plaudits of the
onlookers. Although the piece may not
be a perfect masterpiece Of Italian poe
try, II is described as being more than
passable. In any case, it is certainly val
liable as a testimony to its authors re-
markable GOODNESS.

Explanation from Mr.. Jones.

| EDITORS BULLETIN-I have just
seen the publication in the Nashville
Banner and the Memphis Scimitar,
in regard to my connection with mat
ters in the legislature, touching GER
tain changes in the revenue bill after
concurrence by the senate in the
house amendments, fixing the tax
upon bookmakers at $3.50 per an
mum.
regretted very much to see the
publication, because it is calculated
to give altogether a wrong impress
sion.
1t is true that there was trouble
upon this question in the closing
hours of the session, and thatI along
with others, was very emphatic in
my opposition to permitting the al
teration made by the senate to be-
come the law, regardless of the ac-
ton of the house. 1t is also true
that | had some conversation with
the Governor and with Col. Vertrees
also, but | fully understood that the
anxiety of the Governor was only
that the necessary bills should pass,
as adjournment was near at hand and
no quorum was present in either
house. And in the conversation with
Col. Vertrees, | know he was actua-
ted by the same motive, that is to
say, they, as well as many others,
both in and outside of the legisla-
ture, deemed it better to give up OPP
position on small and comparative
ly unimportant point than that the
whole revenue bill should be defeat
ed, which bill was deemed of great
importance both to the party and to
the State.
The conversations | had with the
Governor and Col. Vertrees, as we'll
as with many others, were as to what
was best to be done.
My own position was emphatic and
my conviction strong, and [ insist
ed on what / believed But know
well and speak earnestly in saying
that in the communication | had
with the Governor, as we'll as with
Col. Vertrees, that they had no
thought of helping any interest
whatever, but were only concerned
and of this | have ample evidence
Ito prevent the defeat of impor-
tant legislation by opposition to
some minor special point.
Respectfully,
J. w. JONES.

Same Ned-Same John.

A correspondent Of the Scimitar
incloses the appended extract from
the Commercial of the year of our
Lord 1892, with a request for its re-
production in our columns:
''HARK FROM THE ToMBs.
'John Henry Mcdowell, deceas-
ed, comes from the grave to say
that it is ''not democratic" for Tur-
ney to appoint his own successor.
Neither is it democratic for John
Henry to be putting his CAB into
white folks affairs. This state
wants a prolonged burst of silence,
of real-dog quietude from John
Henry. The man who is to be
governor of this great state for sew
eral years to come will not need the
Mcdowell jaw-bone in his business,
even though the Phillistines should
come upon him. The nearer John
Henry can come to behaving like a
well-bred corpse of man who was
born dumb and died of lOckjaw the
better people will like him. He
ought to sell his tongue for fish bait,
nail board over his mouth and
take the vow of Iago, ''from this
time forth | never will speak
word" McDowell's mouth may
still be useful for cooling soup, say
ing touch when he is kicked and
things like that, but as a fountain of
instruction it has dried up. Now
let John Henry dry up"
Our correspondent adds to the
this inquiry:
els this the same Mcdowell who
compelled the managers of the re-
cent silver convention to appoint
him and other populists on the Com
mittee of Resolutions, and who in
with his associates fore
ed the committee to omit mention
of redemption of money" from the
resolutions, which report says were
written by the editor of the Com
mercial Appeal, who was the edi-
tor Of the Commercial at the time
the CLARK From the Tombs'' arti-
Gle appeared in its columns?"
1t Is the same Mcdowell. Mem

said;

see why the farmers who Gull

cause it would be as much to
their interest to have
such a law enacted as it would
for the owners of silver mines
to have passed a free coinage
law at the ratio of IS to l..
There would be no earthly
chance of a law being passed
that would carry with it a
bounty of 500, 100000 to the
cotton growers, but there are
thousands of cotton growers
who are in favor Of a law
that would give an artificial
value of about 80 cents on

THE manner in which the
financial plank of the peoples
party is being Endorsed by the
Is to l Oneers, though pro-
badly not intended, is never
theless calculated to strength
en- and give credence to the
principles contained in the
national platform adopted by
the peoples party at Omaha
in 1892. That their posi-
ton is identical with that of
the peoples party on the fl
nancial question as expressed
in 1892 is shown by the peo-
pies party platform of that
year, which is as follows
eve demand free and un-
limited coinage at a ratio OF
is to l." 1t is true that the
position of the democratic
and republican parties on the
financial question are very
much the same, each party
declaring in favor of the par
ity of the two metals and
neither attributing depres-
sion solely to the want of
free silver. If the BULLETIN
believed that the prosperity
of this country depended up
ON the free coinage Of silver
at the ratio of Is to l, it
would not hesitate to cast its
lot with the peoples party,
because that party is the first
md only one to declare

THE bill passed by the 10th
General Assembly, making
it petit larceny to steal goods
to the value of sixty dollars
instead of thirty dollars, has
been declared uncon>titution-
al by the supreme court.
The object of the law was to
make the counties of the state
pay all the criminal prosecu-
ton under the grade of petit
larceny, which would have
been detrimental 10 the in
terests of Shelby, Davidson
and other counties, in which
many petty suits are brought.
The law would therefore have
been advantageous to other
counties of the state, but the
supreme court held that the
legislature failed to make the
proper caption for the body
of the bill, and upon this
ground mainly the bill was
declared unconstitutional.
