According to the above calculation, the Norwegian nation
spends 340,000,000 of their 700,000,000 kroner’s national income
annually on articles of food. It need hardly be said that this
calculation is only built upon exceedingly insufficient data, and
at any rate can only in the case of the poorer classes give an
approximately correct idea of the cost of articles of diet in
proportion to the income.
It may, on the other hand, be said with greater certainty,
that, as a ride, the Norwegian working-classes are well-fed, and
certainly better than the corresponding classes in most other
countries. The working-men in the country especially, live in
comparatively easy circumstances, both as regards food and lodging.
