A Rise Of Wages From This Cause

Rent Is The Portion Of The Earth, Which Is Paid To The Landlord For The User Of The Original And Indestructible Powers Of The Soil

It Has Therefore Been Justly Observed That However Honestly The Coin Of A Country May Conform To Its Standard, Money Made Of Gold And Silver Is Still Liable To Fluctuations In Value, Not Only To Accidental, And Temporary, But To Permanent And Natural Variations, In The Same Manner As Other Commodities.
