WHOLE NO. 33a THE : -STANDARD. r v. V - MONEY. NO. 7 Toe value ol an economic qaan tity is another economic quantity for which it can be exchanged Money like every other commodity can have no exchangeable value if no one will receive it. A thing is worth what it will fetch, is true of money"lnthe same degree as of any ordinary commodity. Two bnshele of corn are worth one dollar, is correct economic statement of the relative values of corn and money It would be equally correct to say dollar is worth two bushels of corn The yalne of the commodity, corn, is found in the one case in the other quantity which is called a dollar; in the other case, the value of the dollar is found in the value of ihe corn. The value of the one is the equivalent of the value of the other. On thiB ground it is possible to effect the exchanging of products. It is exchangeable value that conceifidus when considering the worth of money. Money is in tended to make the exchanging of products easy, and like any other material or commodity, it will exchange for what the parties to transaction may thick it is worth. If a customer buys a hat and pays a dollar for it, he thinks that the hat he receives has the value of the dollar he gives. On the contrary, the merchant thinks that the value of the dollar he receives, is equiva lent to the value of the hat he gives. Each thinks that the value of the one commodity is the equivalent of the value of the other, and that the exchange will be favorable to him self. In each case the deBire to sell must exceed the desire to keep, oth erwise there will be no exchange. It Evident that to effect an ex change? commodities there must be a communication of minds, and a reciprocation of desires. One mind, one desire, can not make an exchange. A man can not trade with himself. He must make ex changes with somebody else. lie must desire to possess the commod ity which Bomebody else owns, and the otter person or party must de sire to possess the commodity he owns. 'If a man were to bay a plug of tobacco of himself, paying ten cents for it, the possessor of the money and the tobacco would be the same after as before the pioceeding, There wonld be no exchange of products and consequently to call such a proceeding a transaction would be a misapplication of the word. It would be not even a pro ceeding. It would be a nothing, and in an economic sense would have the same signification as a man's lifting himself over a fence y means of his boot-straps has in a physical sense. It is concluded then that value is a mental affection, and manifests itself in exchanges only by tho com munication of minds. It is condi tioned by the degree of estimation placed upon an article or commod ity, the amount of the desire to o n, or the intensity of the demand to keep or obtain possession of the commodity, If there is no desire or demand for the commodity, it will have no exchangeable value because nobody will want it. But as mental affections, degrees of estimation, desires vary, it follows that values placed upon the same commodity must necessarily vary. For example, suppose that a trader has a horse which he desires to sell and for which he sBks one hundred dollars. Buyers come and examine the horse. One thinks it worth iighty dollars, another ninety doi- ars, whilst a third sajs he will give one hundred dollars for the horse. It is evident in thiB supposed case, that the three buyers either did pot put the same value upon the horse, or they put different degrees of value on the hundred dollars. The one offering eighty dollars evidently yalued his money higher or the horse lower than the one offering ninety dollars, and each of these two his money higher and the horse lower than the one who gaye the hundred dollars. The first desired the horse to the amount of eighty dollar?, the second to the amount of ninety dol lars, and the third' to the amount of one hundred dollars. If the desires tc owi the horse were equal then the three men put different values on the money, 'ihe estimation in which thev respectively held the hundred dollars was not the same To one eighty dollars had the same value as ninety dollars had to the second, and as a hundred dollars had to the one - who purchased the horse. This difference of desires is f ally illustrated at any auction sale, where purchases are made by bids. - But a peculiarity about value, js that tne value or a commodity is always estimated in terms of some other commodity. To say a thing is worth, itself would have no meaning. No one ever says seriously that a pound of gold is worth a poucd of gold, an ounce of silver is worth an ounce of Bilver, a bat is worth a ha', a bushel of corn is worth a bushel of corn. Such expressions tell us nothing. To Bay that an ounce of silver is worth an ounce of Biiver gives us no idea i f ih yalaeof sil ver. To say that a pound of goid is worth a pound of gold does not give any information in regard to the value of gold. To say, howeyer,! that a dollar will purchase, or worth two bushels of corn gives a definice idea as to the value of the dollar. Bushel is a definite meas ure. The quantity it contains does cot depend on the desires of men It is fired. And one bushel being a fixed and well-defined quantity, tw c bushels are a well defined quantity, and the value of a dollar is a fixed and well-defined quantity. It is two bushels of corn. A dollar is worth two bushels of corn. Two bushels of corn are worth dollar. If the value of the corn is Known, tne value or the dollar is known. If the value of the dollar is kno-n, the value of the corn is known. The yalue of the one is measured by the value of the other, being conditioned by the reciprocal desires of the parties con cerned in the transaction. Continued on inside.1 A GALA DAY.
