the historian. tells us that when Pizarro
and his victorious companions came to
division OF the gold and silver they
had stripped from shrine, temple, ana
palace. the quantity was so great mat
tho relations of commodities In the mar
kct were very seriously disturbed mo
prlco OF gold and silver went down, ana
Tho nr,ccs Of other things went up. That
&c Il required n larger amount Of silver
and gold 10 purchase other products.
"'rbc historian SAYS: "A quire Of paper
sold for ten pesos dc oro.' A peso 30
ORC. as Mr.. Prescott explains on paSe
AZ was equal to sli.67 OF our money.
Therefore. the quire of paper exchanged
for slis70 In gold.
mir Prescott further says: a bottle
~ wine sold for sixty pesos dc oro7
eword for forty or fifty: n clock for n
hundred. and sometimes more: pair OF
shoes cost thirty or forty pesos de oro'
and good horse could not be had Tor
less than twenty-five hundred

ness. and supply. and demand.
could there bc more complete illus'ra-
tion Of tho soundness Of what We contend
for9 The Peruvians knew nothing or the
uses Of money. the Spaniards had no
means Of communicating with the civil
lied world. and consequently. the only
use they could make Of their gold ana
silver was I'm traffic amongst themselves
and there were very few OF them, while
there were great quantities pf these
metals The consequence was prices OF
commodities rose enormously. But the
rise was nothing hut an evidence that
cold and silver had become so common
that men had lost their appreciation for
tbcm. Nothing had become more valuable
than IL had been. but gold and silver had
bocone much less valuable. 1t took just
as many cows TO exchange for morse
after the rise I'm prices as it took heioIe
the rise. So that for the purposes OF
business. absolutely nothing had peeh
done through the great increase oi
money.
Men will find out some Of these days
that they are the victims OF as great
delusion as is possible in their idea that
thcv do business with money They 90
not do business with money. BUSINESS Is
done by exchanging the credit values ol
commodities on the books of banks inc

\ PERTINENT IILUS TRtTION

The Times has repeatedly argued that
the popular idea that business was done
with money is the misleading and de-
structire fallacy of the DAY. Money PLAYS
the most insignificant part in business.
having nothing 10 do with wholesale
transactions except 20 settle balances
and being used almost entirely for
change ana for retail purchases, and for
payment Of wages. And. when used for
any or these, IL is at once deposited
in bank and used again by other people for
the same purpose. so that one dollar
does the work in such transaction Of
snany dollars.
We have repeatedly pointed out that
business is the exchange Of commodities
between different localities conducted
through transferring the credit values Of
the commodities upon the books of loer-
chants and banks. ana that all money
does IN these transactions is TO furnish
nasis for the exchange OF the com
modiics by comparing the labor required

fore that when am increase I'm the prices

quantity OF money il was case Of the
money losing It's value. and not of the

not living on wages or salaries. and we
have 100000 of wage-earners. and the
number is probably much greater now.
II the depreciation OF money was only
equal TO the loss OF ten cents day TO
cach OF these-a ridiculously small amount
in view OF the purposes Of the free sill
verites-the loss to these 100000 OF peo-
pic would be 81. 10000 each day. or for a
year the enormous sum Of 100000. But
IT, as is more likely, the average depre-
citation OF wages would be fifty cents a
day or even much more. the loss 10 the
salaried men and wage-carners would be

double the entire debt OF the United States.
