'NAUGHT is worth save as tbs
valued" The great thinker Shakes
peare overlooked nothing. The
aboveexpression contains the essence
of much thought. Things are of
value merely because we think so,
if we will except the merest nee
cessities of life. We can not make
of any value the richest blessings of
civilized life to wild, savage people.
Take away from us our educated
tastes and we should relapse into
barbarism. Put gold and diamonds
out of fashion and no one would
stoop to pick them up. There is no
such thing as intrinsic value beyond
the supplies ofOur immediate wants.
For centuries the industrious saw
ages of central Africa loaded Eu-
ropean ships with gold and ivory
for beads, because they all priced
beads above all things. Enighten-
ed states prize honor above all
things and therefore bit of paper
stamped by their governments as
good for one dollar or for millions
Is taken with utmost confidence.
Credit circulates among them and
that is money. Made legal tender
1t is perfect. The savage must have
the supposed value with the stamp.
