INTRINSIC VALUE.

Nothing can have an intrinsic value. -
Barton, IA $50
There is no such thing as intrinsic
value. Prot. Jecons.
1t intrinsic value is the curse and the
banc OF economic science to this very hour !"
Ndclcod
Although for two hundred years
writers on political economy have
secuted the notion that value is
''intrin>ic' in anything, still this
notion continues to he the bane and
the curse Of economic science. :" 1t
holds much the same relation to the
science Of economies that the idea that
the world is fiat holds in geography
and astronomy /; only the Jaspers in
economies are far more numerous than
their kindred in astronomy.
Ii value were intrinsic: that is,
inherent in thing, of course, it could
not change it would be the same
everywhere and at all times. II value
were intrinsic in anything, it would be
in commodities like iron, wheat, or
cotton. But il the value of these
things were intrinsic, it would, of
necessity, be the same in all places -
the same in Chicago. New York, or
London-which is never the case.
If the value of gold, as is so often
assumed, were intrinsic, like its color
or lis quality Of ductility or malleabil-
ity, it could not change, but would be
the same from age to age; ii would be
the same whether there were little or
much of il i'm the world. No increase
in the supply of gold, no matter how
great, and no reduction, even 10 halt
the gold in the world, could affect lis
value. Ii must in that case he the
same in all counties, and at all
periods of time, regardless Of supply or
OF demand for it, and regardless Of
whether it is used for money or not.
The same is true of silver. II its
value is intrinsic, it cannot change,
nor could the relative value OF silver
10 gold. or of gold 10 silver, change.
But we know they have changed in
value relatively to each other, and
relatively to other things. and are
changing all the time. We know
historically and experimentally that
these metals, Ike everything else,
vary according TO the law of supply
and demand. Ii the quantity of gold
or OF silver were suddenly doubled, its
value would he reduced in proportion
to the change in the relation of supply
and demand. On the other hand.
should the supply of these metals, or
either OF them, fall OIL. while the de-
mand for them kept up, their value
would proporiionately increase. The
same would he the case if the demand
for either metal should increase while
supply remained unchanged.
When, however, either gold or
Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1896-07-25

silver can be used without limit in the
payment of debts at the option OF the
one having payments to make, then
the lack Of supply of one may be
made up by an increase in the supply
Of the other la this way the two
metals act as one. and the value OF the
two metals combined will vary rs their
mass varies in relation to the demand
for the whole This is Bimetallism.
The rate at which one thing will
exchange for another expresses the
value OF one thing in terms of another
Hence the value OF one thing is any
thing else for which it will exchange
even. The value Of everything eX
pressed in money is called the price.
The price of thing, therefore, is the
quantity OF money it will exchange
for Hence, whatever cause affects
demand in relation to supply, affects
value; whatever cause affects, supply
in relation to demand, affects value !;
whatever cause affects the supply Of
money. as compared to demand for il,
or as compared with things To be
bought and sold, affects the price level
generally.
Legislation cannot change the in
trinsive value of anything, but law
may and often does, affect the supply
OF, or the demand for, II thing and
when the law took away the demand
for silver mouey and increased the
demand for gold by making it the
only money for final redemption, it
did most seriously affect the value Of
these metals.
The truth, then, is that the value OF
gold and silver, like that OF everything
else. depends entirely on the relation
OF supply 10 demand, or OF quantity to
use. Or, rs John Locke said two
hundred years ago, intrinsic value in
money Is therefore nothing but its
quantity"
This law applies also to money of
any kind, and, therefore, in general,
the value of money depends on the
quantity Of money as compared with
things To- he bought and sold ar the
work to he done by il. Prices, there
fore. depend on the volume of money,
or, as Professor Nicholson states the
law, The general level Of prices
depends ON the quantity Of money
compared with the work of circulation
to he done by il. As the chief value
OF gold or of silver Is for money. it
follows that the chief value Of these
metals comes from the demand for
them for money, and that any change
III the monetary use OF either of them
must necessarily affect its value
When, therefore, we hear people
talk of "intriusic" value, it may be set
down at once that they are us ignorant
of the principles of money as they
would show themselves to he ol
geography or astronomy il they talked
ot the earth as il it were flat.
