The Presidents Veto Message.

tNs~ tz- -" a~.- Ez s-t4t~ -
To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED
STATES. Herewith I return Senate
bill 172, entitled san Act fixing the
salary Of the President Of the United
Statesplwithout my approval. l am
constrained to this course from d
sense of duty to my successors in of
fee, to myself and what Is due to
the dignity Of the position of Chief
Magistrate of a nation of more than
10000, 600 Of people. When the sal
AIRY of the President of the United
States was fixed by Congress at $685.
600 per annum we were nation 'Of
5000, 900 Of people, poor from a long
and exhaustive war, without COM
mercc and manufactures, with but few
wants and those cheaply supplied.
The salaries must then have been
deemed small for the responsibilities,
and necessity but justified it. The
salary, of Congrcssmen under the
Constitution was first fixed at $6 per
day for the time actually in scssion,
with an average Of 1870 days to each
session or $72O per year, or less than
one tinrtieth Of the salary of the
President. Congress have lcgislated
upon their own salaries from time to
time since, until, finally, it reaches
$4,000 per annum, one-ffth Of that of
the President before the salary of
the latter was increased. No one
having knowledge IF the cost of
living at the National Capital will
contend that the present salary of
Congressman is too high, unless it be
the intention tomake the, office en-
tirely one of honor, when the
salary 'shenld be entirely abolished
Ia proposition repugnant TO
cur republican ideas. I do not
believe the citizens OF this republic
desire that its public servants should
serve them without fair compensation
for their services. Twenty five thou
sand dollars do not defray the ex-
pcnscs of the Executive for one year
or have not in my experience, 1t is
now one-fiith in value what it was
when fixed by the Constitution in
supplying demands aud wants, and
having no personal interest in this
matter, ! have felt msself free to re-
turn this bill TO the House, in which
it originated. with my objections, be-
levin. that in doing So | have met
the wishes of the great majority Of
those who indirectly pay ssil salaries
and all other expenses OF the govern
ment. $50
