CHAPTER XI; It thus becomes manifest that when ever the articles subject to taxation are empowered to pay that' tax, at the same "price'' at which they are listed for taxation, that price necessarily de termines their price for all purposes, la all private transactions between the citizens, these animals would be ex changed for each other on the basis of the "prices" thus fixed, by the "valu ation" or appraisement "under the laws regulating the exercise of the taxing power, and those prices' would be ex pressed in the term of "money" thus adopted by the government, whatever that term might be. - The citizens woula not thus, in pri vate exchanges,' use " the . "prices" ex pressed by this term because such ac tion , would be - mandator y, but because it would be convenient. In thus applying the term, of . money to express the quantity of valuation, and using that expression which is "price," exchanges would be "facili tated."' But such use of the "standard of money" would be entirely volun tary and it never was a necessity. The device for expressing quantity of valuation, therefore, arose out of the necessity to overcome the diffi culties surrounding the equitable ex ercise of the taxing power. It is a necessary device, as we have seen, even when the system of. taxation in volves the simple process of taking a portion of each specific article taxed. How much more necessary where all articles of taxable wealth " are ap praised or "valued" and the percent age of the tax taken in "coin," and in nothing else! It was proper, then, that the 20th section of the act of congress of April, 1792, made the use of the symbol, which constitutes "money," compul sory "in the public offices of the United States," where it forms an es sential part of the machinery for the exercise of the taxing power. Its use is . mandatory there. , This ; is one of the offices for the performance of whose functions the "standard of money" is created; the other , is its use in the courts. It is safe to say that no imaginary difficulties of ex changing commodities for each other ever caused its invention. It sprang from the fact that no system of ex ercising the taxing power . can be equitably employed without some such device. It was for this reason that the use of the "standard of money" was made compulsory "in the public offices," where it performs its official functions.' We may, therefore, safely conclude that the standard of money is created in each nation as a device es sential to the exercise of the taxing power, whenever that nation attains to a condition of stability and order, under laws for Its regulation, and nev er exists except under these conditions.

The best land Investments In United States are to be found- In the Big Bend Country of Eastern Washing ton, write for Information. -WA5HINGTON LAND CO., Wattrvlile, Wish. Having ascertained the origin and the characteristics of the device prop erly called "money," we discovered that its official functions are per formed "in the public offices and in the courts." We followed it into the public offices and found it there mak ing it possible to , make equal quanti ties of valuation of the force of de mand bear equal burdens in the sup port and maintenance cf government. Let us next follow it into the courts of this country. The same law which makes its use compulsory in the public offices, in the exercise of the taxing power, also makes its use compulsory in the "pro ceedings of the courts" in this coun try. .. ' We have seen that even in a coun try devoid of "coin,"T and where all taxes are made payable in the articles taxed, some rude "standard of money" is a necessity in the exercise of the taxing power, and must be fixed by the governing authority. It is clear ly much more necessary where "val uation" alone is taxed, and all taxes paid in "coin" alone as it is with us. There is but one lawful method known among men; living under or derly governments, for the enforce ment of the payment of - claims be tween private persons, whether such claims arise out of contracts or out of torts. That method is by a judicial proceeding in the courts. It is evident that in those coun tries where taxes were collected by the seizure ana appropriation of a por tion of the specific things ' taxed, and where, as a consequence, no "coin" of the modern, kind was used for that purpose, no such "coin" would exist It is also evident that under sucU con ditions, all claims between citizens, arising out of torts or contracts, would necessarily be satisfied by the deliv ery of such commodities as the people possessed, at the same "price", at which ', they were appraised and re ceived for taxation. , - After the adoption of a standard of money in order to make possible the process of taxation, the ''prices" of all taxable , articles would be ex pressed in the term of money. All claims between citizens must either be satisfied by, agreement or else by ad-, judication in the courts. . If by agree ment, then anything- agreed to be taken would satisfy the claim. Whoever appeals to the courts there by submits himself to their jurisdic tion and is bound to accept what jus tice, so, administered, awards him or nothing. When no coin was in ex istence, and all taxes were paid in the specific articles taxed, the courts de creed payment of all claims in the commodities which were received in the payment of taxes. The quantity of valuation decreed - by the court would be expressed in the judgment of the court by . the term of "money" in the same manner as it would be ex pressed in the tax levy. But we saw. that the ODtion of se lecting the articles to be deliverer! in satisfaction of the tax levy is with the government' A tax lew. for ex ample, expressed . as having been made upon 4,000 "hogs," might in fact have been made upon 1,000 hogs, 100 sheep, 10 cowsand 1 horse. It would be satisfiable (at one-tenth) by ithe delivery of 400 hogs. But the govern ment mignt preter cows or sheep, and in that case the taxpayer would have no option, as it is the government in all lands and in all times that deter mines in what things tax levies shall be paid. But where a judgment was rendered by the courts, against one citizen in favor of another, under the v condi tions named, for the same quantity of value as the-tax lew above referred to, it would be expressed in the term of - "money" supposed in that case, and would be "400 hogs." It would be satisfiable by any taxable goods of that quantity of taxable valuation, Dut . tne option of choosing . the ar ticles in which it should be paid, would rest with the debtor; and he could deliver in satisfaction of the judgment any articles capable of sat isfying a tax levy, . at the price at wnicn tney were taxable. llie courts employed the same mon ey symbol which was used in levying taxes, ana tne judgment was rendered in that "money." i olio wing this ancient and natural rule, the Btatute" above referred tn re quires that "the proceedings in the COUrtS Of the United SrntPa shall Vw had" in the "standard of money" tueu aaoptea. mis makes the use of the symbol, constituting the "stand ard of United States money," ma n- aatory. in, all our. courts The ef- feet of that statute is to require that all judgments rendered in the rniirta Of this Country Shall he. AYnrecoorl in "Dollars," aided by the numerals. And so it is made mandatory that the quauuiy 01 valuation ot all tax levies and of all Judgments, "in tho offices and in the courts," shall be ex pressed oy the use of the term or symbol which is "money" and in no 01 ner manner. , . - - . , .. : In fact, a fixed quantity of valua tion cannot be expressed in any other way; in this country, for,, the reason that we -have no other 'iwnrd". whiM, we can jjse for that, purpose,: and the .. ,,e ;,maKes tne use- -the word Dollar, compulsory "in the. publb offices and in the courts of the United States." Thus it is apparent that the money of the United States, consisting of the symbol and the requisite nu merals, was by the statute appointed to an office in furtherance of the ex ercise of the taxing power and of the administration of justice; and that the performance of the duties thus as signed to it constitutes its function. As it has been appointed by law to the performance of no other office it follows that these constitute its only; functions. " - - (Continued Next Week.)
