declared that they had not met a sin

40, says: For the value of money, in
general, is the quantity of all the money
in the world in proportion to all the
trade" The report of the BRITISH bull
lion committee of 1910 says: IAN IN

of that article will make it more valua-
bic in relation to all other articles. The
same quantity OF gold will purchase
greater quantity of any other article
than it did before; in other words. gold
will rise" Ricardo, in his "Principles
OF Political Economy" chapter 10. SAYS:
The demand for money is regulated
entirely by its value, and it's value by its
quantity" Citizen, in "a Chapter in

to say of any article that is bought and
