gresham who knows nothing of accounts.
What has resulted? Economy? No,
number of extra clerks equal to the num-
Der employed under the old plan has been
found necessary under the new order. Is
there greater expedition in the settlement
of business? Well, yes if the methods now
in vogue settle 90 it. Is there equal securi-
ty? No, most emphatically no, and any
competent man who examines the subject
will find that opportunity for defrauding
Hthe government is very much greater than
ever before. Yet this new system has been
pronounced superb by several of the new
and fresh superior officials All, my dear
Star. ours is great country. and We are
governed by great men, for only such can
ever hope to attain high position"
Government Places Not Sinecures.
A third communication, signed Clerks"
dwells upon somewhat the same theme,
this:
$50 distasteful to the department clerks
is their forced conspicuousness in your col
umns that, Notwithstanding you have re-
peatedly granted space in their defense, We
beg once more opportunity to make public
our desire, as respected and self-respecting
citizens of the United States, to be let alone.
Concerning our salaries: We bring INTEL
lgerce and the benefit of education to bear
upon our eligibility to the service We must
render; we know that we are faithful to
the triist land il is not always a sugar.
coated trust, either; We earn every dollar
we take through cur abilities and industry
in performing the multitudinous parts of
this great v hole, and we now come for
ward with united voice to protest against
these uEcalled for attacks.
This constant assailng of our integrity,
this placing us in an UNIV orthy light before
the world, is a blot upon decency, a plea
against Christianity, and it does appear TO
that there are matters of greater mo-
rT2ent before the country, to the benefit of
aikind, than to focus this fusillade on US.
If those who would restrict our condition
to that of automatons could emulate our
virtues we should be able TO look upon a
spectacle of greater honor than sometimes
presents itself.
Presenting that the government work,
like bank sys TENS, or any commercial need
OF high-grade service, requires talent ana
iirst-cass ability to operate its functions, Il
is surprising that any one would narrow
down just estimate upon what We really
accomplish.
Time does not always specify service
The bank accouptant or cashier is paid for
the use of his brains a suitable sum; the
cash boy is paid for his time or the use of
his feet.
Let US now look to what becomes of this
ever-prom!nent Salary. 1t is a rare thing
to find clerk who can use 1t for his or her
sole purpose. 1t generally supports a fam
