There was some active work going

cry store on Main Street, removed the
wires from the centre Of the street to
the new poles on the sidewalk, and
connected up each store with new con
nections, and soldering each joint, all
within a half dozen hours.
That s some work and Mr.. Mills and
his men deserve considerable credit for
such efficient and rapid work.

up his entire daily wage, as it would
that of carpenter of 1890. The later
carpenter would still have $1.9O left.
So, argues Prof. Garrett, while the
worker of today pays more for necessi
ties, he gets much more, comparatively,
for his labor. So the times are better.
In 1890 eggs were nine cents a gross.
The earl Of Derby paid 80 cents for 800
eggs that today would cost him from
$3.50 to $14.OO. For IA pounds Of but
ter, that would cost him 81, he paid q
shilling, or 25 cents Rice brought by
way of Venice from the east cost 10
pounds for shilling. It costs a dollar
today.
The single exception to the general
rise in prices that has occurred sirce
that time is sugar. In 1890 it cost Sc
a pound, and now it retails at 8 cents.
Here are some other prices taken from
the Earl Of Derby's accounts:
A fine white horse, $500; ale to 4
cents gallon; best wine, cents a
quart, mutton, IS cents a carcass; beef,
1915 to $3.50 a carcass; vinegar, 10
cents gallon! dates cents a pound
