SECRETARY boutwell,,
With good intent, no doubt, for he is
well,meaning man, in the rules issued
By him on the first of June, for the gov.
eminent of his Department, says, "the
practice Of borrowing money in antici a.
ton of salaries is regarded as detrimental
to the public service, and employees who
resort to it will b l:-.bie 10 disurisoal.'
He obviously intends to say that the ill.,
temperate and other injurious habits Of
those who anticipate their salaries, which
are injurious to the public service, and
the Secretary's worthy object in this rule
is to check injury to the government and
the individual. But he should have said
SO, fairly and squarely. That would have
divided the sheep from the goats ]
know, for example, one clerk borrowing
to meet his payments on his house; ano-
Their, to finish paying for his law lectures
and graduation to meet the extra outlay
for few new spring clothes for his fami-
ly; another, for funeral expenses OF a
child, the doctors bill to be paid later
another, to meet school bill ; another,
to meet his family's current expenses, in
the hope of a promotion to living wages ;
another, to pay for little furniture, to
keep house as saving Oh boarding &C.,
&c. Now, it is not just to class these
men with the whisky-drinking, gambling
scamps, at which alone the rule is really
aimed, Or well to increase, as it tends to,
the difficulty and expense Of getting loans.
Paying weekly, instead of monthly, would
improve matters. Clerks would have
their money in hand to pay down for pro-
visions, or at worst, to pay weeks score
with, instead Of months; and they could
buy cheaper in consequence, and would
keep sharper look out for expenses when
the money must be planked down for
everything, or reckoning day is always
close at hand, and there is less than one
quarter the money TO anticipate.
