Before there was any kind Of money
all business was conducted by barter.
Each man traded what he had 10 dis
pose OF with other men for what he
wanted. But it often occurred that 4
trade could not be made. \ farmer
had. for instance, only grain TO trade,
and wanted a pair of shoes; but the
shoemaker had all the grain he needed.
IL necessarily drove men to adopt a
commodity which could be traded for
anything. Gold and silver were adopt
ed for this purpose. They were traded
by weight, and all early coins show by
their names that they were originally
weights. But scOundrels would melt
up base metals with gold or silver, in
order to cheat. II became necessary
to have some guarantee Of tneness.
So governments took upon themselves
the duty Of guaranteeing the weight
and fineness Of the metals, by coming
them. These coins. like the metal in
bars, got their value solely from the
market value OF the silver and gold.
A coin would buy no more than its
weight OF metal of that fineness. And
the same thing is true today of all
coins Of final redemption. They are
worth no more than the bullion is
worth as a commodity. Coined money
is commodity as bullion is, OF wheat,
or iron. or anything else which men
buy and sell a medium of exchange
must possess value. The value resides
in the metal. and is determined by the
worth of that metal in the markets Of
the world. The coming stamp of the
government confers no value. 1t is
only a guarantee Of weight and fine
ness. Paper money is a promise to pay
coined money, and of course it can
have no greater value than the coin it
represents. 1t may have less value, |
because of doubt Of ultimate redemp- !
tion or other causes.
