The financial situation for laborers and capitalists in 1875 and in 1900 is depicted. The high interest earned by the dollar was good for the capitalist in 1875. As interest on the dollar dropped, the financier saw his investments earning less in 1900, but the situation improved for the laborer because the dollar went further. Caption: The laborer’s dollar grows, and the capitalist’s dollar shrinks.
