MIR. MANN,s THESIS.

Disagrees with the Austrian Theory
of the Measure of Value
Mr. Horace Mann, candidate for the de-

on 1.-The Measures Of Value" at the Col

School of Science on this subject, and
holds that the measure Of value is the
quantity of labor socially necessary for
the production Of the commodity
In summing up, he argued that the value
of a commodity is the labor power en-
