Valics; Or, the Science of Value George Reed

We know that we have thrown light upon the subject of value, shown the eternal foundations of a science, and added power to the machinery that shall yet destroy great wrong. We have taken up arms against that mental monstrosity, the gold standard, and we need help. Ve look for assistance to our college brethren of the University of California, for whom we feel deep affection, as well as to college men throughout the world. We hope they will take up the subject in the spirit of reform, and lead in tne attackagainst old errors, especially in regard to teachings upon the subject of what is called Political Economy. Public wrongs are but public errors, and true science is on the side of opponents of existing wrongs, and must and will triumph. We feel that the graduates of our schools should be quick in the advance, for unto whom much has been given, much is expected, and it is not just that the energies of the state should be wasted in educating annual litters of mere value chasers. The states men, especially her favored children, should know their duty to man and to God, which is to endeavor to make the world better, or what is -the same thing, happier, and to endeavor to earn the crown of leaving it the better for having lived in it.
