A Kansas threshing cost estimate lists 1.18 for threshing an acre and 30 cents for housing after threshing. A grandmotherly reply encourages a child to eat cake while it lasts.

Saltfield economics show Tariff shift cuts in wages and trade
The Saltfields of Genessee and neighboring counties employed 1,200 workers paying $458.88 yearly under McKinley tariffs. After salt moved to the free list in 1895, wages dropped to $165,000 and total industry distribution fell to $780,000, a 68 percent decline. Local labor suffered, with employment halving to about 500 and per capita earnings down, affecting rail freight, cooperage, and related industries across Michigan, New York, New England, and beyond.
