at the rate of 81. 1865 a month. This is
fraction more than 1860 a week and
$3.50 each for six working days Until
Grants time Presidents lived on half
this salary. Experience has shown that
the present sum is large enough to cover
the expenses of the most eXtravagant
households and to leave comfortable
balance in the purse of a Presidential
family Of moderate ideas. Yet there Is
not another magistrate at the head of
