precisely as now proposed in the pro-

II. 1866. said:
'If any argument was necessary to
establish the business and propriety of
the proposed increase of the salaries Of
the clerks in the several executive de-
.partments. it can he found in the tabu-
lar statement of the relative gold value
of the compensation of those persons
during the last five years. which is en-
hraced in their memorial to Congress
and which shows that the clerkShip
worth $1,2O0 in 1861 now pays bnt $500
in coin. while in the meantime the
prices of the necesSaries of life have
increased i'll even greater ratio than
the currency has deprecated But few
clerks comparatively command a salary
of $500 Vet even those who are so
fortunate now receive but little more
than the frst-class clerk was paid in
1861 the Sl,Sco currency being in real
ity equal to but Sl.23i gold. This re
duction Of SalarieS-for it really is
nothing clse-of course fails more
heavily upon the lower grades though
it is felt by all classes of clerks. many
of whom are obliged. in order to make
both ends meet, to perform clerical
duties outside of the departments
thereby iniuring their efficiency for Of
fetal duties. for every one will con-
cede that seven hours daily mental
labor is amply sufficient and any clerk
whose necessities oblige him to work
several hours besides is untitled for
undivided attention TO the duties of
his desk. II is therefore not only jus
tice but strict economy to make a
reasonable increase Of the present COM
pensation, and to relieve the neces-
stiles of the many families who have
been placed in debt through the made
uuacy of the salaries the increase
should be dated back"
