was de the more money T of this world the amount of which in circulation regulates prices price nas dole finitely reduced the result ws that this rule among the berlin bakers was put in force tile the farmer had to give more weight to lis his wheat la ill order to make enough broad bread to buy twelve cents As thi years have gone gon a by that process has been going on oil the farmer hit has had to add 3 2 por iw cent to tile weight of bis big bushel every year tear in order to got enough wheat to make a loaf big enough to buy cents in gold until now his big bushel has to elgh 61 81 pounds that 1 Is ho he has to glie gle 81 pounds of nhat beat now for that same fixed dollar which he be bought in 1873 for 60 pounds of all the profit to tho the farmer lay between that GO slid and 1 sl I pounds
