, had risen sixty per cent. and the cost
of living ninety per cent. Why was
not that fact challenged at that time ?
The statement has been long enough
before the country to have been reiu-
ted long ago if it is not true.
Let me ask attention for moment
to some facts | have lately obtained.
Hearing that this attack was to be
made have asked information from
two sources, in order to test the cor
rectness of the Commissioners posi-
ton. In the first place, we have in
the Army a very good mode of testing
the cost of living by the price of ra-
tiOns. The fullest competition is al
lowed to bidders, and the price of the
ration is the result of the competition
for supplying the Army. L have eN-
amined the records of the cOfnmlss;lry
department, and find that the PRICE of
rations during the war confirms in
remarkable manner the conclusion of
the Commissioner in regard to the
cost of living. In the next place, ]
hold in my hand table that shows
what we have been paying to labor
ers employed on our public works I;
and the price, which is adjusted to the
general market, proves fully the re-
port of the Commissioner on that's
ject. In 1861, here in Washington,
we paid unskilled laborers S1,25 per
day; we now pay them Sl,75-an in
crease of about fifty per cent. For
skilled labor the increase ranged from
fifty-five to seventy-five per cent.
The following is an official state
ment of daily wages paid in this city:
