If they will stop and rest it will be a relief. Value is measured by the mind of mnn, coup ling his desire for an artijle with the re sult of the supply and demand for that article, and represented by a substance called money. For instance a man is in need of an article valued at a dollar If his need causes him to consider the article worth the price, the value to him is measured by his mind coupled with his desire or necessity and not money.
