There are problems with doing this, but most data I find (google) say a
dollar is about 4% of what is was in 1900, ie a dollar then is worth 4 cents
now. The only problem you will have doing this conversion is that things
didn't change at the same rate. For example gasoline is expensive now, but
its cost has grown at a much slower rate than many other items, the same goes
for staples such as wheat and corn.
