Our esteemed contemporary, the Argus

An Item OF credit is found that suggests the
rate OF wages for transient labor In a COM
munlty OF farmers, viz, "one-half days
work, % cents" With farm labor at 80
cents, one days work would purchase a
yard of calico. Now an hours work in hay
ing or harvest time would buy at least two
yards OF calico. If a farmer needed a garden
hoe, he could possibly buy one, with veal at
3 scents per pound at retail. for 80 pounds of
veal, unless the dealer should demand a
wholesale rate for purchase of meats instead
OF barter that promised him no profit. Now
smaller quantity of veal would suffice to
purchase half dozen hoes. The cost of
farm implements. manufactures in iron or
steel, crockery and nearly all manufactures
is cheapened in similar proportion, enlarg-

rious living to an extent that few of the
