trineP Every usurer and mOnopolist In
in the land would have his kuive
whetted for his scalp. Like intrinsic
value, standard of value and measure
of value are both delusions. Values
are ideal; fluctuate with supply and de-
mand. You cannot have standard or
measure for mental perturbation. Money
is measure of exchange.
Lord Macaulay said: "If men could se-
cure selfish ends by denying the truth Of
the law of grAvitstiOn, or the revolution
of the earth, learned professors would be
found writing exhaustive dissertations
to prove their absurdity."
The parasite Is always ready to justify
his methods; hence, he cries, money
must have intrinsic value; it must be
made out of something that is standard
Of value; and gold Is the only commodity
that pOssessps these desirable qualities.
This passes current with the gulIible, but
as Lincoln said, "YJu cannot fool all the
people all the tlme."
When gold is used to helghten the
charms Of the strumpet or mssher, 1t Is
used for unnatural or sinful purposes.
Where 1t Is used for money 1t restricts It's
volume, causes usury to prevail, sin
condemned by God; 1t follows that Its
use as money is unnatural and immoral.
The custom of the use Of money ex.
isted In all lands and In all ages. II 10 q
natural custom. 1t was designed to ex-
pedlte another natural custOm-barter.
Anything that retards either custom 10
unnatural, hence, sinful.
Gold Is too scarce q commodity to pre-
serve inviolate the divine custom Of
money; hence, It's use for the purpose Of
money ia sinful. Again, since money Is
not wealth, but simply the "Oil Of COM
merce," TO facilitate the exchange Of the
productions Of labor, the only wealth a
nation has, and since if gold is used to
carry the stamp of money, it is subject
to constant abrasion. This abasiOn IS lost
forever to society. The useless wasting
Of commodity Is sinful. Gold should
be made to perform honest and profitable
utilities, as filling teeth, decorating
homes, etc.
The unnatural use of gold for money
creates a great demand for 1t. This de-
mand for gold for the purpose Of money
could be better supplied with paper.
This great demand Is the principal fac
tor that gives gold its great value. This
value Is the outgrowth Of its unnatural
use; hence, it is sinful and fictitious
value. The red feather was the natural
money. The red was the conventional
imponderable sign--the essential idea OF
money. This essential Idea can be i'm
pressed upon paper with more satlsfsc-
tlon and convenience to the honest citi-
zen than upon gold, and it's supply being
abundant, the sacred custom Of money
could not be tortured into an instrument
Of oppression.
Be 1t remembered that money is not
stored up wealth, as many teach, but
simply an evidence, II man obtained 1t
honestly, that he has parted with services
or commodities equal in value to the de-
nominations stamped upon IFS face.
