V are met h re with the obje tloh that the Con
Ut.flon provides "turn salaries shau nut be reduced
during tue term or offlce' - 'HilS was placed In the
Constitution by the KadicaK Surely Democrats
wld not shelter themselres behind the liddieat devier.
It has been well said "That this la a government of
the people, for the peoples and by peopte." Let the
Legislature, speaking for the people, reduce the
salaries and then let tne people see what ofHce-nold-'
er will dare to wrench from the pockets of the peo
ple nn enormous salary by reason ot a Radical pro
vlstou In. the Constitution. There is no provision In
tue Cuostitutton forcing the- office-holder to take
more salary than the people say is Just and right.
Our office-holders are all good iteaiocraw, they be
lieve In the people, they are all patriotic, they must
know and feel that their salaries are too high ; that
they can Uve on one-half what It cost to live when
the salaries were fixed. They .must k now that jhea
aU farm products are so tow that It is much harder
to pay taxes than when arm products were high:
Our office-holders would, no doubt, suggest the re
duction to the Legislature put for the lear that: 11
might seem p resumptions oil their part to suggest
any thing so Silf-evktent. In onjer that the legis
lature, in reducing everything should be abov us
piclao of seuTshness, lt is respectfully suggested
that the per diem and all Legislative expenses be
reduced. There is the same reason for wis reduc
tion as for the Uier. Let the Legislative expenses
be reduced to what they were before the waf. We,
had no ttftaeh and 'page then ; why have then
now i . While the Constitution forbids the per diem
being more than $4, there Is no provision forcing tlie
members to take (4. Nothing in this country is
mora needed than economy in every thing, and our
rulers In high places should set example to our peo
ple in order tu encourage the people In. thrift and
enterprise.
Don't let the fear that If you reduce all salaries
you wiu lose aU of your good officers scare you. For
whUe all of our officers are good, we had Just as
good when salaries were low. We had such men as
Morehead, Graham, bragg, RIed Kills and otheis
for Governors. We had such men as Ruttin, Nash,
Henderson, Manly, Battle and others as Judges..
We had such men for Legislators as Badger, Saun
ders, Stanley, Aiajily, Gilmer and a Jiost of others,
the ablest men ltt the State, men who considered It
an honor to serve uelr . &ute, anl honored tin i
State and honored themselves by tjiejr able -atid
patriotic services: The nice-holder yvho complalus
of low salary reminds me ot a negro who in the good
old times of Miuila muster, used to 'sell whiskey u
the boys by the dram, and once when the
whiskey was short he failed to put as much
In the dram as he usually did. The boys com
plained about It, and told the negro It was not right
and tbey could not afford It and would not stand It.
The negro replied : "Well, If you dont like It, an I
cant stand 1W Jest pour the dram back In the Jug '
Now, if any ot our office-holders don't like low sala
ries. Juki let them pour it back In the Jug. " There Is
our v ery excellent ;ovenor. If ne' don't like what
the people, feel able to pay him Just let him ponr tl
back In the Jug. Then there are the worthy and
able Secretary of state, Attorney General, Treasure i
A0dHor,nd all the balance of officers, If they don't
uke it just let them pour It back lathe 4ugl Yoji J
uit-uiutrrs u lug L.egisiaiure snouiu ieeu yourselves
out of the same Jug, and If you don't like lt,,j ou can

holders should resurn because their salaries Ji:lvi-
