The Western Association was a solid League. At that time there was not a lot of difference between salaries in the majors and those in other leagues, especially for non-stars. There were a lot of great players in the Western Association, and the California League for that matter. However, the Whites and the Maroons were basically minor league teams for the Browns and the Chicago Nationals.
