There are no commodities the production of which depend upon such even and unvarying elements, as gold and silver, and the intrinsic value of which, or, in other words, the quantity of labour which they represent, is so uniform, and, therefore, they are, above all other commodities, suited to be adopted as the standard, with respect to which the value of all other commodities can be expressed or measured, and thus constitute a more perfect standard of value than any other commodities.
