“THE HERALDS POLICY, dow the Brooklyn Newsdealers Re- gard the Reduction. OPPOSITION NOT SO _ STRONG. | Views of Correspondents on the ‘ Subject. ss MEETING OF THE NEWSMEN ‘The Hexaxp has once more to revert to the question ‘at issue between it and the gradually reduced number of newsdealers who have as yet been unable to see their own interests as identical with thase of the Hxaatp. As it 1s not often in the history of journalism that an action like that ot the HxraLp produces such com- motion, and the spectacle is evidently one of interest to the public, we to-day present our readers with some farther sketches of the purveyors of the Hrnatp and their views, Astroll among the news stands of Brooklyn shows that tho small dealers of that city are taking the same sensible course as those of New York. Instead of Joining in the useless protests of a faction of the iarger dealers they are buckling in energetically and selling more papers than ever, wisely trusting to the increased and increasing demand for a return of their old profits, The newsmen whose statements givengbelow repre- Bent a daily sale of from 40 to 200 HenaLps each, most of them hving solely by the profits of news vending Their accounts are uniform in declaring a very marked increase im tne gale of the Hxnaxp at the reduced Price, and they are ready converts to tho plan of getting their profits out of increased sales rather than by lurge Percentages. The stand in Fulton street, nearly opposite Henry street, is kept by alively little man who somewhat resembles Uncle Sammy Tilden in appearance, “A Heravp, did you say, sir?” quoth he to the inquirer, “I’m very sorry, sir, but Hzratps don’t keep long enough to furnish ’em at thislate hour, They go like bot cakes, you know, sir.”” “You don't seem to be one of the growlers?”” “Me!” and the excellent imitation of the dem- ocratic candidate drew himself up to five anda half feet of stature and a couple of inches of dignity sir! not much. What should I growl about? You ean always get a Heraup at this stand if youcome early enough, and no growling about me, Why, con- demn it (he used a briefer word), I always have sold * Hkratps and always shall as long as I soll any- thing. People might as well try to fly as try to run the Hgrxatp down. 1’m selling soventy Hgzavps every day now against thirty-five before the reduction, That keeps my profit just the same, with a little more work, but 1 don’t mind work if I can satisfy my customers.,” and, as the enterprising little man turned the current of his energy into a vigorous effort to renew the fading fire of his cigar, tho ques_ tioner moved away. A small and pale-faced woman was found presiding over the stand in Pineapple street, near Fulton, Sho was only temporarily in charge, she said, during the absence of het husband on business. They were sell- ing the Heratp at the new price and found that they could dispose of a good many more than formerly. The keeper of the stand at tho corner of Myrtle ave- gue and Fulton street said ho was selling Hexaups right along at the reduced price. At first ho was of the opinion that it didn’t make any difference in the sales, but for a day or two back ho had disposed of ten more than his usual numbor. There wasn’t any money in it, he declared, but when pressed admitted that at an increase proportionate to that of the past tew days the profit would soon be back at the old mark. At No, 61 dlyrtlo avenue the dealer produced a sin- *gle copy remaining from the morning's stock. * We ave a groat call for Hxnatns now,” was the 1egond he recited, handing over the change for a dime. ‘There 4s quite an increase since the price was lowered, but Td just as lief it was back at the old figure again,” “Do your sales show any increase?” “Yes, we sell a good many more. A gobd many that @idn’: use to take tho Heraup are calling for it now “that they can bay it for threo cents.” A buxom woman 10 charge of the small stationery nd news store No. 177 Myrtle avenue oponed her eyes in amazement at the request for a copy of the HERALD. “Won't a Sun or a Times do?" sho asked. “It’s quecr we've had so many calls for the Heraxp this morning. There was @ gentleman iu here just before before you inquiring for one, aad ve had several customers more than we had papers for.” “Then you aro selling more at the now price ?’” “T cam’t say that, sir, because we, haven't increased eur order. 1 think to-morrow wo’il-havé to put in an order for more papers, I could havesold ¢ dozen moro to-day if 1’d had them.” In the cigar storo and news stand No. 217 Myrtle nua a diminutive boy, perched on achair bebind the glass caso, smd inatreblo key that “they sold more HERALDS since last week,’’ but his tender mind seemed unable to explain the phenomenon. “He didn’t know,” he said, “what the additional number was, but ne believed they weren’t making any profit on ’em."? A venerable dame at the candy store and news stand No. 235 Myrtle avenue seemed indisposed to com- municate any information on the subject further than that the sale of Hegauns had increased and was in- treasing yet. At the stand opposite the Court Hot tthe june- tion of Fulton and Joralemon streets, the dealer said, “We're putting on moro Heratps every day. We sell about twenty-five more than we used to, and don’t have any leit over, Yousee some of the big dealers said they weren't goin’ to keep ’em, and that septa good many of their customers tous. We sell a lot of Suns too. The HeRaup and Sun aro our best papers,’* Attne statiovery and news store No. 192 Atlantic avenue the dealers said they were selling a ‘ew moro HsgraLps since the reduction in price. At the stand on the corner of Smith and Fulton streets a brisk young man informed tho inquirer that he sold out bis etock very early, gazing, meanwhile, with something like contempt upon the individual who . ould betray such utter ignorance of affairs as to seek morning paper alter eleven o'clock. Interrogated as to the sale of Heracps at his stand since the reduc- tion, he said “Oh, people take the HxeRatp any way, ‘We've been selling a good many more and have plenty of new calls for 'em."” Tho de at the cigar and ‘news stand in Fort Greene place, near Lafayette place, was Inconic to an extraordinary degrce. To the request fora Henan he said simply, ‘‘No.”” “Do you sell many more since the price has been put down?” “Yee.” “How many?” “4 good many.” “Twice as many?” “Yea.” And that tertninated the dialogue. one of the above mentioned dealers was selling at tho reduced price, not a newrman being found un- business-like cnough to demand a higher price than the legitimate one, THE NEWSMEN'R MEETING LAST NIGHT. Tho newsdealors opposed to the reduction fn the price of the Heuatp held a meeting last night Evory at the Germania Assembly Rooms, corner of Twenty-sixth street and Seventh avenue. On secount of the rampus made by small bays who attended their former meetings a man was stationod at the door to keep them out; but not- withstanding this precaution a pumber of them ran the gauntlet and enlivened the proceedings with such cupers as only newsboys can cut up. Mr. De Witt, who was elected President of the news- dealers opposed to the Henan, called the mecting to order, ‘Io report of the committee appointed at a previous meeting to warton the Henat and ask for a reduction | wholesale price of ene paper was Waen read by Mr West, chairman, He said he bad done su and Was satisfed that there was no use toe 1, ot the Hrnacn, price of the Henan al ts cireulation 15,000 copies, lat he tm naintirm tn his) position iv tb vement cost tit $200,000 to carry it out, The report of the committee Was accepted without comment and a motion made that the vews doalers opposed to the HeRALD go into permanent organiza- tion and select other officers thanthe president already pect a conces fai, told him that the redo hal NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1876.--W1TH SUPPLEMENT. spoken of as vice presidents but rejected, as neither of them had atiended any of the meetings. Fi Messrs. West, Grant and Gallagher were chosen, Mr. Fairtield was made secretary and Mr. MeArthur treasurer, ‘The president then made an address, saying that now, a8 thoy were orgapized to fight the Hearn, money Was heeessary, and that an initiation fee ought mposed on the members. This met with some ub the amount was fixed at twenly-tive jew ot them signed the roll aud paid in m. The president then said it was in order to make any suggestions as to the means of breaking down what he called the great monopoly, meaning, of cour-e, the HeRALD al its reduced price, An old man ~# who keeps a stand down town on the east side roso | and said that since the reduction in price of the Hxnaio his sales had increased from ninety to 123 copies, amd thats tweive of those tormerly took the Sun, five the World, two the Tribune and one the Times. He made the jon to see if he incrense im the Hekatp's cir would make up jor the reducca protit; but said he jound worease came from other pape and that if the circulation doubled he could’ only make the same as he did formerly. "A young man, who said he was sent torepresent Mr. Tyson told the meeting that Mr. Tyson was willingto agreeto anything dope in reason, and recommended that three and a halt cents a copy be charged tor the Hekaup when delivered and four cents when sold on stands. The propriety of not selling the Hexaco atall was then brought up and discussed, Mr. Tyson’s representative said that if such a courre Wus inaugurated many of the dealers, iustoad of tak- ing no Heaps at all would double their orders, in order to profit by the action ut-the others. One young man Said thatit the dealers would unite that would not be the case, but nearly all present thought it nnwise to attempt such a thing, asthe Hxeati was rich and would spend any amount of money to deliver the pa- per, no matier what they aid, Mr. Tyson’s proxy then made some remarks about the action of the HRRALD, and said it was the first instance oo record where the wholesale merchant ever attem pred to fix the price at which the retailer should sell the goods pur- chased from him, and again submitted tho propsition to charge three and one-haif and four cents for the Paper, Several others addressed the meeting fered all manner of suggestions, but nothing sa Ing the discussion took the jorm of a motion, Finally it was pretty generally agreed that the best plan would be to sell the HeraLoat three cents, but to take as few as possible and push the other papers. —« Mr. Waters, who strongly opposed the reduction, Said that he had seen many papers live and die, an was confident that such a plan would Ureak down even the Henatp with its great wealth. He thought the newsdealers controiled their customers 1 a great measure, and could influence them to take other papers. This assertion met with apy Alter a good deal of di-cussio: to when and where the next meeting would be held, the meeting ad- Journed wiibout settling the question. VIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS, To-day we give a further batch of letters from Rumerous correspondents, some complaining of their inability to get the Hxracp at the reduced price, others applauding the courso pursued in placing tho paper ut its present figure, and others extending the welcome intelligence that the movement meets with popular approval and that the circulation of the HERALD is rapidly increasing.

Respect- tully, JAMES LUPTON, BRENTANO, THE NEWSMAN, SKETCH OF A SELF-MADE MAN—-A YORTUNE or HALF A MILLION THE RESULT OF INDUSTRY— INTERESTING TALK ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. Delmonico is the leading gastronomic and Brentano the leading literary purveyor of New York. Each one vegan his carecr in an bumble way, and by force of character, by persistency of purpose, uniform cour- tesy of mapner and exclusive attention to the business of his specialty rose to honorable eminence in the com- munity. While Delmonico enters for the physical, Brentano supplies the mental necessities of the man, Each io bis sphere bas grown into an indispensable institution of the eity, and both are equally well kaown. A Henao reporter dropped into Mr. Brentano's news emporium tast 4vcning tho business of tho day was coming to a close, and inquired, *Well, Mr. Brentano, how gocs the Hrratp at the reduced fgur Mr. Baexrano--[t goes, indeed, very well—botter than ever. The Heratn would sell at five cents as well asthe other papers at three, but now that it Is three, why the other papers have got to look out for the locomotive when the bell rings. If tho ixnicw wasn't of some account in this city you wouldn't have heard the newsdealers making sach a fuss about tho reduc- tion, There was no fuss when the World and Evening Post caine down to three cents, Reporten--You have said the Sun is last on your Jist in regard to salos, How is that? Mr. Brextaxo— Well, my customers are chicfy from the fashionable avenues around here, and they look upon the Sunas rather a low paper—the organ of mechanics, laborers, &c. These aristocratic folks wouldo’t think of taking the Sun. It's a queer pre judice, but such is the fuct. The reduction of tho HggaLp must operate to some extent on the circula- tion of the Sun, Rerorter—How does the World stand, Mr. Buxytaxo—tho IWorid, though reduced to three cents, isone of theso indefinite and milk and water she besides lacking the fafness of news that the others havo, that you can’t well toll where it stands and it is hard to piace the World, Our customers for chosen, Thonamesot Mr, Tyeouaya Yr, Logiand were | te daily aud eight ceuts for Sunday pnpers igo much | thas paper aro,ch\edy a few old serpectab'e gentiemen on Fifteenth strect and Nadison and Lexington av nues But tho World has imereased its circulation since coming down to thres cots, The Heratp has hird, The 7rivune keeps its place, but the declined of late.
