Prices Of
Long Ago

I
your valued paper l have noted with
interest different reminiscent arti-
cles on Baraboo of long ago, and l
want to take this opportunity of turn
ing back the clock to the year 1868
and offering a few items Of interest
to some of our older residents. 1t
may perhaps interest others just at
this time when there is a general
complaint on the cost OF the ''neces-
saries" of life, or, to speak more cor
rectly perhaps, the "cost of high liv-
ing"
Among other "attick treasures" I
was very much interested in day book
No. 1 of the firm of R. & w. Burning
ton, and scanned its pages for some
little time.
On September 80, 1863, T. w. Case
bought two pounds of sugar, for which
he paid SOC. This is the first entry
in the book.
On the same day John Kelley was
charged with one-half pound of tea,
rs cents; and one-half pound tobacco,
8 cents.
Among other buyers on that day
were F. Stallman, Charles Sarahan,
J. Miles, J. A. Sharp, D. H. Kelsey,
A. Nixon, T. J. Wood, T. Oats, F..
Brown, A. Lezart, P Buck and E. o.
Holden. Oh yes! and A. G. Case
bought cents worth of candy in all
|. probability to tickle the palate of the
illustrious wife of our illustrious Sen
ator La Toilette.
On October 8, William Moore, clerk,
drew cash for labor, $500. The same
day, d. K. Moves bought six dozen
eggs for sc cents and he must have
put in a mild protest as on October
6 they were only cents per dozen.
On October IL M. Mould did some
shopping. I find him charged with
one-half pound of currants, 10 cents.
| Later in the day he bought one
half pound tea, 70 cents, and still
later was credited with cash to bal
ance account, SO cents.
] On October 10, John Thatcher
bought one-half gallon of oil for SOC.
Others were not quite so extravagant,
as I noted more frequent charges for
candles. I failed to find the price of
gasoline, but it must certainly have
been disheartening to Ford owners.
On one page w. burlington charg
ed himself with one postage stamp, 8
Fcents Another man was charged
with cider, cents.
Just before Christmas one man blew
himself as follows: Apples, sc; candy,
&c; tobacco, sc; cash, SC.
! Flour was $500 per hundred, sugar
51s pounds for $1.OO; syrup $1.O0 per
gallon; oysters 75c can. Coffee was
about the same as now.
| Just for comparison looked, but in
vain for some of our modern necessi-
ties, such as opera seats, self-starters,
thermos bottles, Red Seal records,
4amb chops and grape fruit. But this
was long before the advent Of the
railroad into Baraboo, and perhaps
some of these things were delayed in
transit.
Their place of business was under
the hill" by the old and only bridge.
The contention about the Oak street
bridge is within the memory Of many
of our citizens. Property owners,
headed by P. Pratt, insisted on hav-
ing a bridge, while others for bust
ness reasons, opposed them.
Or, as Shanghai Chandler" but it
in his paper at one time, one faction
| insisted on having the dam bridge at
any cost, while the others declared
that they would not have the bridge
by a dam site.
Respectfully,
FRANK BURLINGTON.

uNvElL TABLET
BEARING VERSE
BY Mr., F0ULKE

As q surprise to William Dudley
Foulke, meeting was held at o'clock
this afternoon to unveil in the public
library a bronze tablet on which is in
scribed his verse, I'm the Public
Library"
The tablet has been set in place on
the west wall of the first room on the
second floor. Mrs. Foulke arranged
for the tablet and a grandchild Of the
Foulkes. Janet Uric, will unveil it.
The unwilling and the meeting will be
a surprise to Mr.. Foulke, although he
knew Of the tablet. Mrs George
Knollenberg will then formally present
1t to the library and w. B. Bradbury
president of the board, will acknow-
ledge It.
The verse follows:
In the Public Library.
Whatever be thy fortune or thy state
The way to high companionship is
free;
Here are they all-the wise, the good,
the great
And their best thoughts they offer
unto thee.
How canst thou give thy life to sordid
things
While Milton's strains in rhythmic
numbers roll,
Or Shakespeare probes thy heart, or
Homer sings.
Or rapt Isaiah wakes thy slumbering
soul?
If these kings treasures" we're scant
and rare
How wouldst thou yearn for all that
they contain!
But they are spread before thee free
as air,
And shall their priceless Jewels
shine in vain?
The choice is thine, the fancies OF a
day,
Or the bright gems that shall endure
for aye.

Here Are Both Sides
of National Campaign
BY Vance c. Mccormick
Chairman of the Democratic Nationa
Committee

Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee
The reason the farmer is for the
President, as l have shown, may be
succinctly stated in single sentence:
He is for Wilson because Wilson is
for him, and he KNOWS it. That
however, doesn't suffice for the city
man, who is familiar with the work of
the Wilson Administration as it af.
fects the farmer
The farmers agree with an influen-
tial, independent New York newspaper
that the Farm Loan Law "is piece
of constructive legislation which is
designed to supply something long
and VIGOROUSLY lacking in our finan-
cial system-something in respect to
which most other countries have been
far in advance of the United States
1t remained for a Democratic
Administration to write this important
law on the statute books. Taken
with the Federal Reserve Act and the
establishment Of a Federal Trade
Commission, it makes up a record of
legislation which no Republican Ad-
ministration of recent years came any
where near matching. OF itself 1t
constitutes a powerful claim Of Presi-
dent Wilson upon the approval of the
nation"
"cheap" Money for Farmer
The Rural Credits legislation is, in
deed, one of the big accomplishments
of the Administration. 1t is one of
the big things the Administration has
done for the farmer and for the coun-
try. The law facilitates the flow of
money to the land and gives the far
mers as cheap" money as possible,
saving him the commissions and usuri-
Gus interest fees to which he was sub
jected for years under Republican
RUE.
The average rate of interest under
the old system was 81 per cent. per
annum.
