D. j, TREADWELL.

The vanity Of their fellows led them
to emulate the example of those who
thus bedecked themselves, and out Of
this spirit Of vanity there was born
that demand for gold and silver which
impaired to those metals a value which
did not exist until that demand created
it. The custom Of wearing ornaments
spread from person to person and from
tribe TO tribe, and possibly the ductility
Of the metals and the case with which
they could be worked up into various
useful shapes added to the demand
for them and conseqently added to their
value The traders plying their yoca-
tions from one tribe to another noted
that in all, or most Of these tribes,
there existed, for the reasons stated, q
strong and steady demand for gold and
silver As these metals were less bulky
and more easy TO handle than most Of
the wares they were accustomed to re.
ceiye in barter as they were less liable
to loss by decay OF rust; as they were
not subject to destruction by rain, or
frost or ERE; as they could not be manu-
faetured by human ingenuity but were
the product Of nature which the art Of
man could not duplicate and finally, as
the available amount Of gold and silver
could not be increased at win, but was
doled out by nature with a niggard
hand, and therefore were limited in
quantity, the trades began to take gold
and silver in exchange for their com
modities Out Of this traffic, born of
vanity and fostered by custom, came
the general use Of gold and silver as
what we now denominate money But
its use as money continued for many
centuries before the law undertook to
meddle with it, and even then it was
only for the purpose Of convenience
that the laws interfored.
This is assumed to be the history Of
the origin Of money Asst is an easy
and natural way to account for The use
Of the metals as money and as more
over, itis the only satisfactory way to
account for it, we must accept it as
true Hitbe true, then It presents for
oar consideration two salient facts VIZ
T. Gold and silver bad no value for
human being until demand for those
metals created that value

limited For bad gold Of silver been 90

ing as the decree Of fate. If this be
! true, how does it happen that this fixed
value attached itself to the gold dollars
alone, and not likewise to the silver
dollar? If it belonged to the silver
dollars, as well as to the gold dollars,
how did this fixed value" happen to
belong to the Spanish and Mexican
dollars in this country before 1854 and
how did those dollars happen to lose
| that value in rart before 1878, and suf
| fer a still greater loss Of value since the
great crime Of 1878 depressed the bull
| lion value Of the silver Of which they
are composed? Up to 1857 the Spanish
and Mexican dollars were legal tender
in this country In 1857 they were de
monetized, in 50 far as this country was
concerned Today, in this country the
American dollar will buy about two Of
the Mexican dollars, and our dollars in
this country, away from the seaboard
will probably buy two French Gve.franc
pieces, while in France one Of these
ltive-franc pieces win buy two Mexican
dollars Take one each Of the three
coins to come country where none Of
them are legal tender money, and the
Mexican dollar will be worth more than
either Of the other two, merely because
| it contains more silver than either Of
them There they would stand upon
their merits as a commodity, and with
no fictitious aid from law OF custom to
add to their value OF purchasing power
the Mexican coin, which even in Mex
leo is exchanged in the proportion Of
two Mexican dollars for one American
dollar is the most valuable of the three
coins. Now what gives to the Ameri

United statesl We have heard it at
