may need. He will take twenty-one
bushels of wheat, or a 220-pound hog.
or eight days labor, now in exchange
for that amount Of lumber. Five
years ago it would have taken forty
bushels of wheat, or a 550-pound hog,
or fifteen days labor to get a thou
sand feet of the same kind of lumber.
Now it takes ten days of labor to
procure an average suit of clothes.
Then sixteen days. Now two days CT
common labor can be exchanged for
a weeks board. Then three or more
days were necessary. And so on up
the line.
Going back now to the dollar and
cents method of thinking q day lab.
orer could, in 1914, pay his board out
of his weeks wages and have at least
seven dollars left for other expenses.
Now he can earn enough to pay his
board out of his weeks wages and
have at least nineteen dollars left for
other expenses and savings, II he cares
to lay up a little for rainy days. The
skilled laborer does not have to pay
much more for his board and ought
to have a greater surplus at the end
of the week. The principal question
then is, whether higher wages have
brought about a higher standard of
living or whether the seven dollar
margin of. five years ago would go
as far then as the nineteen margin
will go now. The same question will
obtain in the case of the farmer or
any other producer. Simmered down
to it's fundamental elements it is a
question Of averages. II we are in a
vicious ascending circle will 1t not be as
vicious in a downward scale? Prices
and wages must recede proportionately
II we ever see an approximate return
to former conditions. Why all need
less worry so long as money is SEEM
ingly plenty and there is a good de-
mand for labor and the actual neces-
stiles of life?
