VOLCMK OF MOMKV,
In the study of monsy, we are
pi to give all our etlantion to
the volume of money, and to over
look tli importance of the money
rieoee. It i not the volume, but
the pieces, that do the business.
There it a correspondence between
the volurao of tnoney and tho
average of price. 1'be volume of
money may be increased, or de
creased, withoet affecting business.
There ia an equilibrium between
the number of money piece and
the number of exchangee. This
equilibrium i governed by a nat
ural law. We cannot disturb the
equilibrium without disturbing
business.
Tbeae facta may be readily il
lustrated. If we ran eichange one
bushel of wheat tor two buahela
of corn, and two buahela of wheat
for one sheep, we may take any
one of these aa the atandard, and
express their relative valuta ac
cordingly. .

Now if A telle corn to buy one
sheep, he roust aell four bushels
t 11-14.
If I) sells wheat to buy one
aheep, he must aell two bushelcs
of wheat at 1214.
A and It will require a total of
$3 to effect these two exchanges.
That is the . volume of money
necouary for theae - tranaactjona.

If II sella wheat to buy one

Now, if A sella corn to buy one

If II sella wheat to buy aheep,
he must-aell two bushels at 50

neoeaaary for these transaction.
The basis of all exchange it
their relative valuea. An exchange
is road between thinit of equal
vslus.
In the three foregoing example
the relative , value are the same.
Consequently A must constantly
" aell four bushel of oorn to buy
oo aheep, and B must constantly

on aheep. The exchange in the
three example are the same. V
can change pricea, because theae
r only term to express relative
Talue they are merely .name of
oi value. Our volume of money
fall from eight dollar to
two dollar and our prices fall
correspondingly.
Had wo repreeented the valu of
on bushel of corn by on cent,
then that of a bushel of wheat
would have been repreeented by
' two cent, and that' of a (heep by
four cent. In this case A and
B would require a total of eight
oent to buy one sheep apiece.
Bo far a exchange ar conoerned
price are immaterial.
But in these transaction there
ia a physical fact that is indis
pensableone that w cannot
change without affecting the ex
changes, and that is th number
of money piece.
If A may sell liia four bushel
of oorn separately he will require
four picoo of money, whother his
corn is priced at one cent or on
dollar.
If B may sell hi two bushel of
wheat separately ha will require
two piece of money, whether hie
wheat it priced at two dollar or
two cent.
The tlx piece of money are a
physical necessity, if A and B may

ell their
grain by th bushel
separately.
If there is only one piece of
money to represent A' four bushel
of corn, then he must aell his
four buahela in a lump. If there
ia only ' on piece of money to
represent B's two bushel of whiat,
then he must sell them in a lump.
It tho re is only on piece of
money to represent A' and B's
grain, be it eight dollar or eight
rent, then both men must act
jointly and lump tbelr grain in
one sale.
With aix piece ot money there
were six poeaible sales; with one
piece of money, be it eight dollar
or eight cents, there can be but
on sal.
It i clear that th number of
money piece is independent of the
volume of money, and that it is
governed by the number of poe
sible exchangee. The number of
exchange fixe th number of
money pieces, and if the money
piece do not com op to this
required number, then the number
of pueaible exchange is forcible
reduced. In other words, the
number of actual exchangee must
be less than the number. of poaaible
exchanges, if there ia a relative
ecarcitjpf money piecee.
