Energy Dollars.

One OF the superstitions with more

Is the superstition of fiat money. or
faith money, or trust money, or the
money that is unredeemable in the
money of ultimate redemption. 1t is
not correct in theory, and what is
not correct in theiy is not correct in
practice. On the other hand, that
which is correct in theory Is correct
in practice, the trouble being that
many things appear to be cirrect in
theory which are ot and the defect
can only be proved in practice. Fiat
money can be proved incorrect in
theory. 1t is contrary to human nat
ure and huma nexperienee. What
ever and whenever 1T has been tried
1t has failed. The crime of interest
has been inyeighed against during
more centuries than a man can
count, yet a man will not let an
other man use his money without
paying or promising to pay him for
the use Of it any more than man
will let another man use his house
and land without paying rent.
