Everything is very cheap here, ex'
cept the imported goods. Labor is
also very cheap. Common laborers
(natives) think they are getting good
wages when the government pays
them twenty cents per day for good
hard work, and they board them
selves at that. Three cents day will
keep a family of natives in food. A
little rice, fish now and then and
they are happy. Of course, refer tc
the common classes,
II Is 1Rct that rats are eaten DJ
the natives of almost all classes and
are considered a delioaoy.
