Mr. Bacheller saje, "tho newspaper is
destined to becomo one of tho most
potent agencies of literature. Nearly
all of the great producers of fiction who
write tho English language now con
tribute to the daily press of both contin
ent'. This widening of tho literary
market has greatly increased the re
wards of literary effort. Woweronble

expressly for newspaper publication.
This is, I think, tho largest price that
haB been paid to any writer of this time.

Tho newspaper syndicate when first
ftarted was not a success, In fact the
second trial by a well known publishing worjj
him in .New lork city was a rail u re.
The newspapers Deeded then, (as they
do now) a closer connection with people
of literary merit. The failure of the
scheme wae due to a lack of orginality
on the part of the firm in getting and
handling material, and then a writer of
note fifty jears go, was mt willing that
his work should be used in the columns
of a newspaper. The dignity of a gilt
edged volume was lost by having
its contents appear first in a daily or
weekly along Bide advertisements and
then, tho author 6f those days was
cot offered the handsome sum for
his work that he is today. Undoubt
edly this fact lessened the dignity of
serial publications.
But the need of tho papers then was
comparatively as great as now.
Ten j ears ago Mr. Irving Bacheller
a young college man whose highest am
bition was to own and edit a paper, saw
the need of the newspaper and straight
way he went about to fill the require
ments of the newspapers and the empty
purse of genius at one and the same
time. He bought a few stories from
well known writera of the day, paying
them prices far greater than the aver
age newspaper could afford to pay. He
then signed contracts with a few papers. Catarrh Cure
agreeing to furnish so much matter of acting directly
the best kind at a stated time, by desig
nated authors.
The same matter was to come out
simultaneously in papers in various parts
of the country. While each paper
could not pay for the original matter
alous, several papers printing tho same
thing at the same time easily paid for it.
From the first year the business has
grown rapidly, and now it is the leading
newspaper syndicate of the world.
Chandler Harris, John Barrie and Gil
bert Parker have all contributed to Mr.
Bacheller's syndicate and with them he
is personally acquainted.
