II Without money there is never a
demand for goods, nothing but futile
1onrinc for them; the demand, there
fore, Is only the money demand, and Is
determined absolutely by the volume
of money.
ii. Anything is money that the lay
ordains to be money.

denrived Of its monetary use, would

devoted to money use is lost TO All othe1
and inferior uses, just as man wisely
devoted to a noble profession IS lost =
the farm, the factory or the shop.
14 In the making Of money Tn
chief item of expense is the cost Of ma
terial. "A nation using costless ma
terial gets its money for nothing, ans

Ii. Money is single tool Of trade
trade is the single channel Of distribl

To maintain prices, trade begins

legates men to idleness, poverty, an
want.
III. There is nothing that will tai

supply of money would raise prize

move want. There is no easier

wholly paper currency as with

done it in that way and proved it's
