amendment to increase the salary of the Com

Of order.
In discussing the increase for clerks Messrs
Atkins and BlOunt both opposed it on the
ground that the interests of agriculture did
not demand an increase in salaries of officers.
MeSSrS Hooker, Steele, Townsend On W,
Aiken and others took issue with this argu.
ment and contended that unless good salaries
were paid the best talent could not be pro
cured, and this department demanded the
best talent in all its branches. They dwelt
upon the importance of agriculture to the
prosperity of the country, and all thought that
the department should be dignified and that
all of the employees in the higher offices should
be better paid.

vote of 1Cl to 80.
