We should ten have tho bushel of wheat as a puinnent unit of value, which all farmers ouM appreciate, nnd the currency of ic count'y would repnscnt actual orth and labor performed. Both gold id silver could then bo dispensed with td the preset t bimetallic problem tlved. Our currency, moreover, would 3 as good as gold or silver in foreign (change, for our wheat goes to all the luntrics of tho wcr'd.
