tject of Political Economy is
mil properly diviilcil into many
only be tin Al'mul a B, but there must also
be ownership or property in the thing or
things desired to bo exchanged: other,
wise no legitimate transfer can be made.
An action of exchange is also necessary
to 11 x Value. Though there may be n
prospective exchange of commodities be
tween certain parties and even a contract
made to aid the same, yet no value can
properly be said to attach to any of the
tilings about to be exchanged until they
have actually parsed from one person to
tne other: inUil A, or It, can say", this
thing is mine: it has cost me such an a
mount. Perhaps we can best study Value
throuuh the term service I mean one
service as exchanged for another. If, by
this means we can show that value i al
ways and everywhere the same thing; is
always and everywhere the relation of
mutual purchase estaldiedi-wjen two
services by th&r cxohdngiS't ho great atunu
bliug block is removed and we ee thii
science of Political Economy inlTs sim
plicity. And this I think is not dilllcult
to show. The lawyer -serves his lient
and is serveK in turn. Tlie doctor serves
his putlcnf and receives his service. So,

competition is increased and market, val
ue i said to rise. If, on the contrary, de
nial 1 is sluggish, supply remaining the
sanp there Is a desire to dispose of stock
on (and and market value tends to sink.
Thisnmu is true of supply. With this
im .Tl'ect analysis of Value I leave the

will perhaps be of greater inter-
mine exhatihtlvu discussion of
tlie )lit alone.
As a basis from '. liicit to argue these
(luostjons, I derine Political Economy, as,
"The Science of Exchanges or Value."
"When Adam Smith taught Political Econ
omy in the University yf Glasgow, he re
garded it as a branch of Moral Philoso
phy, and classified it among "those politi
cal aiid social relations which a if founded
on expediency. and which tend to iucrcabc
the prosperity and power of the state."
Util expediency and moral obligation or
di3' are so decidedly distinct that, it is
not worth proving llial Political Economy
is no part of Moral Philosophy at all; un
less, we accept the theory that self-interest
and expediency arc Hie motives to all
human action.
I begin with the first named topic, i.e.
Value. 1 dclino the value of any econom
ic quantity, to bo "any other economic
quantity for which it can be exchanged,"
a definition which stands the severest
test and divers all auomolous cases.
