MED the assertion.
Employees of the govern nent print
ing Office doing time work receive good
wages, the records showing that exac tly
1886 men in a year earned between
81 900 and $1,000 each. Fully two
thirds of this number averaged about
81 400. Many of the 1856 received
between 81 500 and 81 900.

For several years before his expira-

the great amount of printing ordered
by Congress, and he did his utmost to
have expenses reduced, but in vain.
He was always a fierce opponent 1T
gi wing members leave to print in The

delivered. And he never wandered
over to tn Senate chamber and heard
the venerable and loquacious Mr.. Nor
