disk. which becomes the unit of money
by the fiat of the government, is the
standard of value and the thing of ulti-
mate redemption of pledges. while the
measure of value is the demand for the
commodity put upon the market. The
volume of the supply of an article has
nothing to do directly with fixing the
price. There might be conditions which
would so cripple demand that greatly
diminished output would have little or no
demand, and, again the demand might
exceed the greatest possible volume of
merchantable commodities. There could
be no fixed lines in the value Of COM
modities, hence 1t is mistake to suppose
that money controls prices. For all arti-
Giles of commerce there is point beyond
which prices cannot go because Of the in
ability of consumers to demand them.
There is also another extreme which
makes commodities valueless. because
the demand is withheld for prudential
reasons, as in epidemics of disease, when
certain articles of consumption are re-
fused at any price. So, it is demand that
measures values by standard of
value" which is the unit of money but
a unit of value is as impossible as is
a uniform yield of farm products or
never-varying air currents.
