When the salary of the President OF the
JJnited States WAS fixed BY the Constitution
al R25,0eD per aunBm. we were a nation OF
but three mIlllone " people, poor from o
or manufactures, With but few wants. ard

No one having knowledge Of the cost OF

that the present salary 0i Congreksmen Is
too high, unless IL be the Intention TO make
