On ehs Sd Of March, one day previous to the in

Wilmington daily gazette., 1873-03-11
The increase Of salaries.

TIE increase Of salaries voted by the 42d Con-
gresa does moi give general satisfaction to press OF
the people. 1t is loudly complained of by able
nsWspapss in both parties and by the independent
papers generally. ItCannot be true that the Presi'
dent Of the U United States requires City thousand
dollars year to hveon. His house is furnished and
kept at the expense of the government, and most
of the servants about are paid out of the public
treasury; and the cost of the State dinners and
public receptions are taken from the same trea-
sury
When these facts are considered snd it is re-
membered that all former Presidents Lave lived
uPon $4,000 year; and that General Grant him
self has vel upon that in the most elegant style
passing most of his summers at the fashionable
watering places and has also grown rich. it is lit
tie wonder that the people should grow indignant
at doubling his pay, now when taxation is bearing
30 heavily upon all the working classes
The increase OF salaries is not likely to produce
any change for the better. 1t viii not make men
lsss corrupt or more honest Neither will it cause
our public men to set examples in frugality, tenn
psrancO and morality,
The old statesmen who lived upon eight dollars
day, were no respect less able less learned in
the Law or in the science Of government. Indeed
1t is generally acknowledged that they were su-
Psrior in al these respects to the men who fill the
halls of Congress at the present day. The same
rsmarks viii apply 10 the salaries Of the Secrs-
tAriss and many other officers which the bill that
was passed on the heel of the adjournment has
raised to such high figures. Certainly if there
was any guarantee that virtue and honor and in
Segrity would be promoted By this process, the
people would not make 50 much objection TO it
But the higher the salaries are the lower the
standard Of morality seems at Washington.
Again, Ii this process is submitted 10 quietly |
how long viii it be before, by vote of the two
houses, the salaries may not again be doubled p
The people will then have to grOan aud bear it,
as they do now. There Is no remedy so long as
the seductive character of Washington society
remains as it is. The only remedy will be found
In making an entire change in the political party
