THE CONSULAR SERVICE.
Recommend atoms I'm the interest OF Under
paid OOnsuls-Estimate Recast.

Pursuant to provision of the diplomatic and
consular appropriation act, approved July l.,
1886, the estimates su omitted by the secretary Of
state for the maintenance of the consular service
have been recast on the basis of salaries for all
officers to whom such allowance is deemed ad
visable. Advantage has been taken Of this to
redietribute the salaries OF the officers now ap-
propriated for in accordance with the work per.
formed, the importance of the representative
duties of the incumbent and the cost
of living at eacI post. The last
consideration has been 100 often lost sight Of in
the allowances heretofore made The compensa-
ton which may suffice for the decent main
enance of a worthy and ca pable officer IN po-
sitOn of Operous and representative trust at a
post readily accessible, and where the necessaries
of Ii are abundant and cheap may prove an in
adequate pittance in distant lands where the bet
ter port of years pay is consumed in reaching
the post of duty, and where the Comforts
of ordinary civilized existence can only
be obtained with difficulty, and at exorbltant
cost. trust that in considering the submitted
schedules, mistaken theory of economy will
peIpetuale system which in the past has
virtually closed to deserving talent, many offices
" here capacity and atainments of high order
Indispensable, and III not g. few instances has
brought discredit on our national character and
ENABLED embarrassment and even suffering on
those deputed TO uphold our dignity and inter
ests abroad In conclusion with this gu ect,
earnestly reierate the practica necessity OF sup
plying some mode of trustworthy in
spectiOn and report of the manner in which the
consulates are conduc ed In the absence ofsuch
reliable Information. efficiency can scarcely tie
rewarded or its opposite corrected Increasing
competition in trade has directed ate ntion to the
value OF the consular reports printed by the De-
partment OF State, and the efforts of the govern
ment 10 extend the practical usefulness of these
reports have created a Wider demand fO- them at
home and spirit of emulation abroad. Consti
tuting record OF he changes occurring in trade
and OF the progress OF the arts and invention in
foreign countries they are much sought fof by
all interested in the subjects which they embrace.
