The noverninent Hum o'i lalned 111 iidvanee Iho artlrles its needs reipiirod In enrryliiK on its opernl Ions, and the taxpayer obtained a eertillifilo or tux rereipt expressed In the "money" Hyinlsil. Hhowlnn that lie hud paid thai quaintly of value In advance d' any tax levy aualiiHl him. Tills eerllthalo was not evldelieo of it dehl or pronilHo to pay of tho Kovern ineiil, there liclng no purpose of re payment. When the lax levy for Iho next yfir was iiiiule, this taxpayer could deliv er up, not Hid Hperllh articles taxed, us other taxpayers v mild do, but illicit deliver to tho eolloetor tho cer tificate received by him, showing their payment In advance, nnd nilKht. re ceive another certificate In the other form, hIiowIiik ptiyment for the cur rent year. Hut the "deficit" and paling of the revenue" heen nn ever-recurring learn by experience; and Homo, tax payers, more shrewd than tit hers, and possessing a large surplus of taxa ble wealth, when Iho king was In straits for tho articles to support an 1 maintain his state and dignity, would Hlipulutthiit ho should deliver a large (piatitlty of taxable valuo In articles in-oded by the king, a quan lity which would pay his taxes for several years In the future; If tho king in return would ii-isue to him cerilllralos or lax receipts to that ef fect, in a great number of separate cei lilii utes, each for a small quantity o value expressed upon its face in iho "money" symbol, and amounting in tho aggregate to tho quantity of valuo received from him by the king, and would in addition set forth in th" certificates and In a law enacted for that purpose that they would be ac cepted by Hie government as coliclu nivo proof of payment of any tux levy against any person presenting tle'in for any year, to the amount expressed Uxm the face of each. Now, these cert i flea I es or tax re ceipts showing, in tho ''money" sym bol, that Iho !;ove riimciii had re i ived in advance of a tax levy the quantity of value expressed upon their face, were necessarily inserihiil or stamped upon some comparatively durable subsume, u might hav. been papyrus or iho skins of ani mals, or upon metal plates or piece of wood. Such ceriiiicates may have been inscribed or stamped upon plate of silver or of gold or of tin or cop per or upon parclimrnt. Of course, convenience and duraldlliy, as well as cheapness, were the Important con siderations III the M'lrt Uuu of the ni l t'-iial.

Durability and convenience resin on I In sld" of the ceri I Ilea l e, It Is clear that under sie h clrciim stances, Hint cert Ifhaie would bo sought after by people subjort to tax ation, with an eagrruct at least equal to that wllh which tlu-y would seek the possession of a cow. In short, they would sacrifice In ex change for the possession of Ihe cer tificate at least the soino quantity of service or of wealth, which they would kui rillco lor t he possession of a cow. Hut such nocking for Us posses sion would Inevitably generate a quantity of tho force of demand for the certificate equal to (hat generate, I for the cow. Hut the quantity ol thi force of demand for the iwo iirilrb- bring; equal, necessarily mines Iheic quantities of value lo I piul. Kqunl- lly of power in any two tilings to perforin a given lieiiefh lal service for man, generating an equal quantity of the foice of demand for them, noees sarily makes their quaniliy of valu.' equal. Several tilings must hen. be con sidered. The lirsi in impoiiaiire 'i the equality in quaintly of value d' a cow and of the certlilcute invinc ibly grows out of i heir endowment wllh an equal qu mliy of power It perforin a given servbe beuellclal t.) man.
