Men who bought government land
in this state at from S1.25 to $3.50
per acre little dreamed that within
the life time of their children that it
would sell for from $3.50 to $500 an

reached. What may the next gen.

Concluding RemarkS.

And thus we have com to the end Of
our Journey. We have passed through a
Country which otherwise has proved OF
but slight attraction to travellers. The
ouestiOn is now, whether the journey
has been worth the trouble We have
been sightseeing like tourists, without
settling down anywhere long enough TO
know and understand the rules and laws
of the Country thoroughly. But yet, we
have seen something.
We saw the function of Money prlna-
rily as a medium Of exchange, as a cor
mon measure of value, as a standard Of
deferred payments, and as = store OF
wealth..
We saw the evolution of Money; spoke
of Goldfish and tobacco money, of VAN
pun, Metal and Paper money, and Ct
Deposit Currency; saw, how the Banks
were the large factories Of Credit.
We discussed the Equation Of Elk
change, that the level Of prices will vary
with the %quartity of money In use. We
spoke of productive and non productive
expenditure, of the Foreign Exchanges
the Gold Points-the exchange between
two towns the initiation OF credlt-the
issue Of paper Money and OF lnconVertl-
BILE. Notes whose value will depend on
the price which the principal exports
fetch in Gold in foreign markets, as com
pared with the price which they fetch IN
paper in the home market.
We dwell 3With pa ticular interest on
the General Level of prices.
We saw how the money-currents flow
ed towards the large monetary centres
of the world, from thence to circulate,
as the blood from a large heart, out to
, 1919-12-03

the remotest parts of the earth, to work
there for human progress; for better or
for worse.
We saw how the monetary system
worked like gigantic machinery, with
mighty steel cylinders, where pistons
moved up and down, according to the
pressure inside; noiselessly, pitilessiy,
confcrmable to the laws of nature.
W. saw how the credit Influenced the
pressure in the cylinders; how the ere
dit would lift the price piston if the bot
tom area of he cylinder was not i%ncreas-
ed proporti0lately, i. e. if the production
and volume )f trade was not augmented
CORE jpondIrgly.
We saw how the velocity Of the water
in the monetary river was equally i'm
pOrtal 1t to the volume of the water; how
the ptessure could be regulated by the
%spring~coil called the rate of interest: by
the gGs-bag Of Creait; and by Jhe valve
that is called the rate of Exchange.
We have seen how this mighty, sansi-
tive, and highly developed machinery
was harnessed before the heavy wagons
of wa; how it WAS speedad up and ran
sm0otaly and will lgly along the trails,
drawing everything along. Ever greater
became the speed. The engineers became
serious but Winnin.s the war was the sole
aim. Therefore more pressure was put
on-With the help OF the combustible cred
jt-gas Then Arm stice came-but the

Forward it went along unknown trails;
although, it was not even unknown trails.

Every man (wno deserves the name OF a

And he produces more than he consumes
