WHAT IS MONEY
TO THE PEOPLE?
INTRINSIC VALUE CUTS NO
Figure With the Materials That
Have or May be Used.

What is money! Primarily, it is
medium of exchange, a standard
Of value for work, materials and
products. 1t is not necessarily
gold and silver. 1t can be any ar
ticle agreed upon as a basis for
trade. A mans chief concern
with it deals in the first instance
with one question: will it buy food,
clothes and things he needs for
life. Comforts and luxuries are of
secondary Importance. Yet these,
too, are matters Of barter. Re-
duced to its ultimate terms, all
trade is barter. Trade began in
barter through a medium of ex-
change. This medium of eX-
change has been different sub
stances at different times. Trades
in the pioneer days of this North
west used the Indian wampum or
the haiqua shells, or the beaver ;
skin. Since any one of these was
astandard of value and passed cur
rent as medium of exchange, it
was money. Skins, in fact, COM
prised probably the first money
used by the human race. Fol
lowing these, animals were used.
Cattle become currency. At Rome
ana IN Italy, oxen and sheep were
good money. So they were in
Greece. So they have been Of
more recent years in South Africa
and among the Indians of this
country. Rents have been paid to
the United States government in
cattle. Corn, maize, cocoanuts,
Tea, salt, olive oil, red feathers,
cowrles, or sea shells, and whales
teeth have all variously served the
purpose of money. The colonies
OF New England used tobacco at
one time. Iron has always been
used, the Spartans employing ii
exclusively. England coined tin
and Russia platinum. AS long as
'aese articles were standards and
Tue exchange of them produced
Tue necessities of life they were
sooo money. So the use of wheat
