coins-lower than that Of English, French
aud Spanish coin. Then these foreign coins
quickly disappeared from our circulation, they
in turn being exported or absorbed IN me-
chanic arts, giving place to our own CONS.
As with coin, so with its paper representa-.
tive; that which is Of least worth, If only it
can be classed good will displace from cir
culation whatever is esteemed TO be better
IL il the operation Of law which men DO not
make, though they recognize and obey il as
they DO the natural laws Of matter. A treas
ury ar bank note, so long a. it will command
coin at the pleasure Of the holder, is OF the
same value as specie, and for ordinary circu'
latinn more convenient. The more remote
from its place or time Of redemption, other
things being equal, the less it, value.
When not redeemable in coin at will as is
the case with the treasury and bank notes in
the present time Of suspension all paper rep
reservations Of money possessing no intrinsic
value are a. currency measured by their pre-
sent conyertibli,y, rather than by the greater
or less assurance of their ultimate redemp-
tion.-though the latter quality ia estimated
in the former, and both are modified by the
degree Of productive or terest.bearlns char
acter which the paper may have. But the
criterion for the market value Of the paper
money is its capacity for substitution in place
Of what il epreSents-money. Int Will per
form all the Offices Of coin it is It's equivalent,
and whatever Of loss is sustained by its fail
ure to do SO is the measure offs depreciation.
