Reducuon " salaries.

WAsHINGToE, FEB 8, 1874.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: thank you for your article Of the 9Th in
slant bearing on the proposed decrease OF Con-
gressional and departmental salaries, which will,
1 think, have greater convincing force against
the injustice Of such a measure II more fully
elucidated.
The following statement cannot be successfully
contradicted, and Will show precisely the amount
of money received by each member Of Congress as
his pay Og salary while in Washington, and will
also show the amount received BY each fourth.
c.as- CLERK for the same perioc: 'sss E0
members OF Congress receive for each session
5000. Then, Tor session Of three months, being
Tor December, January and February, they re-
ceive for each month Sl,655.66, while an 81, 500
clerk receives only $50 per month.
For the loSg session, which rarely ever exceeds
seven months, members receive STA IS, while the
clerk gets his sl50.
1t is plainly seen that in the two sessions
member of Congress for ten months services
receives $4,000, at the rate of 900 per month.
From the beginning Of first session to the close
Of the second session Of Congress the time rarely
ever exceeds nineteen months, and during this
period, as have already shown, but ten months
are devoted to Congressional labors, while the
nine remaining months between the sessions are
his own to occupy as seemeth to him best.
or $3.50 clerk as the highest grade known to the
