eB- There is much SAID in this city, in the
way of complaint, of the monetary pressure
said to exist A very large portion of our
people live upon salaries, not few of them
from the Government. These salaries have
not been reduced, but are paid regularly. In
consequence OF the pressure, money is worth
more than at any other times. How is it,
then that our people suffer from the eight
ness OF the money markets" Their money
Is worth more than at other times. Is it not
strange! We can only account for it by the
hypothesis that men, on Salaries live above
their income and cannot obtain loans IS tree
ly as formerly. Indeed, IN intelligent br 'kcr
has assured us that two thirds of the monthly
and quarterly payments are negotiated" in
advance of their maturity. Ii this is So, the
salaries should all be raised, or men should
be put in Office who can live ON those that
are paid Washington Globe
