1t has no intrinsic value. Money Whe'h-
or II be OF gold on Ct silver or Oi paper
hasln itself ro inherent value. Inc SoIu-
bug believes that gold Is the cure ior an
Ills. Inc silver fanatic declares thdt Iu'
evils uf IN" unanclal world are que I" 'io
decentralization of silver. And the green
back dreamer declares that al we ne'd
Is for government to r1nt the money.
Now, - matter Of fact. the man VIII"
supposes that either paper or SILVER ~
gold or copper have IN themselves any
intrinsic value makes Fundamental "r-
ror. Money IN itself has no value. II IS
valuable not IN itself, but torWhat 1T 81

the community gives 20 this metal the

The true value OF money Is cornIuu-

money is not simply hs own. 1t belongs
