MONEY SHOULD BE REDEEMABLE IN ALL THINGS.

Money should be redeemed in all things; not in one thing alone. The

peculiar characteristic of true money, that which distinguishes it from

all other things whatsoever and constitutes it a prime factor in

civilization, is that it is at all times redeemable in any thing that is

on sale. Being an order for property, it should be redeemed in any form

of disposable property which the holder may desire.
