That the promise of a thing or Of an

That the promise OF a thing Or Of an
act is not the thing or actitself
That money in its very nature be-
comes more and more useful as it is
acknowledged and used in wider and
wider extent; ....
That money becoming more uniform
has been, and continues to be, one of
the chief means by which the great pro
cess of naturalization is effected-per-
haps the chiefest after the formation of
a common language in given country:

idea of national money, and that inter

kind;
That all mankind together may be-

lization is to advance, for civilization
necessarily requires greater wealth with
each progress; which could not be the

That all values we can treat of eco
nomically and financially are exchan-

That governments have no more right

in all engagements between govern

the power to make the other party sub
