The money wage rate is the number of dollars that an hour of labor earns.
It has to do with exchange rates. Consider the US and Canada. If one US dollar is worth $1.50 Canadian, then US dollars buy 50% more Canadian products than an equal number of Canadian dollars would. But if the value of the Canadian dollar rises, so that it is worth the same as an American dollar, then American dollars buy only the same amount of Canadian products as an equal number of Canadian dollars.
In 1907 gold was twenty dollars an ounce. Assuming toady it is one thousand dollars an ounce, there is a difference. 300 dollars in 1907 would have been worth 15 ounces of gold. So if you take that 15 ounces of gold and turn it into dollars today, you would have 15,000. Things are not equal. You could not buy a car. You could take a number of long train rides. A steak dinner was less than a dollar.

The number of representatives voting.
270 electoral votes in the Electoral College are needed to win the U.S. presidency. Each state has electoral votes equal to the total of the 2 representative the state has in the U.S. Senate plus the number of representative the state has in the House of Representatives. Since every state has two senators and at least one representative to the House, every state has at least 3 electoral votes. The District of Columbia gets 3 electoral votes. Therefore, the total number of electoral votes is 538 - 100 (senators) + 435 (representatives) + 3 (for DC). A majority is 270 - one more than half of the total number of 538.
