NONE
Its Functions and Re-
Iations.

Money has been called one o.
mans greatest inventions, rank
ing with the alphabet. Certain
ly present civilization would be
impossible without it. Its ser.
vices are so obvious. however
that it is necessary todwell upon
them. The reader has to only
"loo6 and see." Exchange would
be awkward and tedious without
money, and now that labor is so
divided exchanges form part OF
our daily life. We enjoy few
material good things which have
not been exchanged in one way
or another many times before
they reach US. Without any
medium of exchange the man
with a horse who wanted q coat
instead would be obliged TO
search fora tailor who desired a
horse, and after finding him the
exchange would very likely be
defeated owing to inequality of
values of articles to be excIang.
ed. The coat desired might be
only half as valuable as the horse
and the tailor might have moth
ing else wanted by the owner of
the horse. Simple Illustrations
like this can be continued indef.
nitely. We can also keep values
easily in mind and compare them
readily when we have one com
mon measure. Money enables
US to travel, carrying stored-up
value with US, and assist in the
accumulation of capital by pro-
viding, as it were, a receptacle
for it, If we raise more potatoes
than we need we can keep them
only a short time, but we can ex.
change them for money, which
can be kept. Thus we save our
surplus. Money is form of
capital which has been called
free. 1t can by exchange be
turned hither or thither, being
ready for the best use which may
offer.
QUALITIES DESIRABLE IN MONEY

PAPER MONEY
has been extensively used. Paper
money consists Of promises to
pay on demand which people are
willing to receive in place Of
metallic money They are usu-
ally promises either of banks or
of governments. People take
them because they believe the
promise will be kept. or because
they think that others will ac-
cept them, or because they have
been made legal tender and
people must accept them for
debt, or because, as usually hap
pens, they are receivable for
taxes. Where this confidence in
paper money is complete it is
preferred to precious metals. be.
cause more convenient. If any
one will read all that is engrav-
ed on the paper money circulat
ing in the United States he will
nerceive tx nature. and he will
discover that it is of two kinds !:
notes of national banks, and
notes orcertifcates of the federal
government. Adam Smith has
compared paper money to a road
through the air. 1t saves the
use of the precious metals, and
capital otherwise employed as a
medium of exchange, can be used
for other productive purposes.
It is thus. he says, as real a saw
ing as if we could avelthrough
the air and use the ground now
occupied by roads for agricul-
ture and other purposes. The
'greenbacks" or paper money of
the United States now amount to
a little over three hundred and
forty-six millions of dollars.
They perform the function of
gold and silver even better than
gold and silver-in foreign ports,
like Hamburg, often selling for
a premiun-and this saves the
country this amount of capital.
TO withdraw them from circula-
ton would be simply a waste"

Certain dangers connected with
paper money issued by govern
