When Washington Was Hard Up.


1t is the view Of some philosophers that
the world moves in cycles and that exact
reproductions Of conditions are to be found
at certain periods. In these days when
there is so much complaint about the cost
of living. the wages and incapacity of serv-
ants we might suppose that no similar con-
ditiors ever existed. A recent publication
of the letters of George Washington to his
private secretary, Tobias Lear, indicates
that Philadelphia was about the same as
now in the days Of the first President.
Washington accepted $4,000 a year as
President on the assumption that it would
just about pay his expenses in maintaining
the dignity of the nation. He seems to
have supposed that he could get along like
any private citizen.
He was soon undeceived. In the letters
mentioned the President pours out the
agony of his soul because of the eXactions
made upon him because of his position He
says that he cannot live well as the
ordinary citizen on $500 or 5000 a year,
nor entertain SO much nor well aside
from state dinners) these private gentle
men. Every one cheated him. He paid
exorbitant rent, it cost him enormously for
furniture, provisions, servants and travel.
1t is commonly said that Washington
was the richest man of his day, but most
of his property was unproductive. In fact.
the Father OF his Country was hard up
most Of the time. His servants, stewards
and offfcious friends were extravagant to a
degree. He had to hire double the requisite
number of servants, whom he declared to
be the most expensive and incompetent ever
known: his slaves tried to leave him and
he desired to hire short, squat Dutch
servants at every vacancy, but was anxious
to make close bargain with them His
plantation at Mount Vernon did not pay
expenses because he was continually rob-
bed. If he sold grain or tobacco he got the
lowest price and sometimes never got the
money promised. His tenants refused to pay
rent on farms, both in Virginia and Penn
sylvania. his houses in Alexandria went to
rack His lands In the west were unstable
at any price. Moreover, all friends and
many strangers were constantly desiring
to borrow money at times when he was
behind in his bills.
This is a. fine picture of eighteenth CEN
tury life In Philadelphia. 1t is not very
different from that of today except in de-
tail 'All going out and nothing coming
in was the wall of Washington. 1t is
echoed daily in every section of the good
old town today.
