The indications of increasing stagnation of

to some extent manifest also here in Chicago

80 Per cent. in the average daily bank clear
ings in the last two weeks show that the same

rope. 1t is useless for people to deceive them
selves with fancied,i indications of improvement

One of the meanest propositions tina
has recently been made is credited to
very high officer of the government,
who, it is said, proposes that in reducing
the force of clerks in the several de-
partments, the salaries Of all ladies now
receiving $4,000, $1.4OO, $l,6OO, or
81 800, shall be reduced to 5000, in Or
der that it shall not be necessary to dis.
eSlarge as many male clerks of the high
grades as will otherwise have to 60.
The number OF ladies in the employ OF
the government who receive more than
81 900 salary is small, and in almost
every instance they are experts in the
department of the service in which they
are placed. 1t is not claimed that the
male clerks who will receive their salar.
les can do the work any better, or as
well as it is done by the ladies. Indeed
it is proposed to keep the ladies in their
present positions but to add what is ia
ken from their salaries to the pay Of
clerks who can vote and render othel
political service.
