If I had not comited five dollars of greater worth to me than the shoes I should not have parted with them. A curious situation this, where two persons draw advantage from one another ! But every sound com- mercial transaction proceeds on this as- sumption. In all honest trade there is a gainful partnership.
In my last chapter, after discussing gifts, charity, and the generous soul, I promised to turn to a moral situation hi^er still, one of purer altruism* Are we then keep- ing to the order pr...oposed? Can we sup- pose that a commercial transaction is of a higher order than an act of charity ? I beUeve we can. As we look over the his- tory of civilization we certainly find gifts understood long before trade. The savage is a not ungenerous person. When he takes a fancy to any one he gives pretty freely, not, of course, through any claim or duty but merely in deference to his native feeling. What he cannot conceive is the double gift, a transaction in which each is a gainer. He is ready enough to strip himself of advantage in behalf of one whom he likes and is pleased when he, too» Digitized by VjjOOQIC MUTUALITY 81 receives a gift; but that one and the same act can yield a mutual gain he apprehends slowly and rudely.
