r- EFFECTS OF PROSPERITY.
- In the six years of the country's
. greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
65 per cent., meats 23.1 per cent, dairy
and garden products 50.1 per cent,
and clothing 24.1. All these were prod
ucts of the farmer and stockman who
t profited more than any other class of
!the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the
average prices of commodities in that
period was in railway freight rates
which decreased from .7J8 per ton
mile in 1897 to .763 in 1903, a loss
of 4.4 per cent. The report of the In
terstate Commerce Commission shows
that the average increase in the pay
of railroad employes in the period was
a trifle above 8.5 per cent.
The porters who carry the baggage
of tourists on the island of Capri are
mostly women. The men are busy
as fishers, coachmen, cobblers and
coral sellers.
