From, the San francisco En- miner.

publish an interesting report comparing the
cost Of living early in this century with
what 1t Is now. 1t exhibits wildly the
contrast between the poverty Of primitive
agriculture and the progress In civilization
and wealth resulting from high develop
ment OF all the possibilities of land and
labor in rural and industrial art and indus
tries. The small wages paid in those days
are as surprising as the low prices of COM
modities OF all sorts.
Game was abundant early in the century,
and therefore cheap. Venison cost only 81
cents per pound. Bear meat was very
slightly higher. Pigeons were In exsraor-
binary abundance, selling at little more
than a cent apiece Elderly readers will re-
member the flights Of hocks Of pigeons
which darkened the skies even as late as
fifty years ago. Shad was very cheap, cost-
ing only cents each. Owing to che plenti-
full supply Of game tanned skins we're low in
price. A deerskin fetched about 81 II, while
bearskin was worth from 81 to 50. Mix

That was the day of individual and iso-
lated effort, sntedating the era Of aggrega-

processes and appliances. Prices Of farm

local scarcity, which could not be mitigated
by distribution from regions Of plenty. II
there were big crops they could not be sold

to SELL
Every locality In its Industries and prod
ucts, existed for and by itself, having no
relation with other communities; therefore
the surplus production of each farm was
small, the inducement to produce being
wanting, and there was very little money to
purchase anything more than the bare
necessaries. The industrious family had an
abundance Of everything 1t could grow,
