George Batledge Gibson, tha well
known New Tork banker, now vlsltr
lag Paris, gossip intelligently and en
tertainingly of the Bank of France, as
follows, in the American Banker:
"The present capital of the bank Is
183,500,000 francs, with accumulated
reserve, profits, special reserve and
landed property reserve of about 42,
000,000 francs in addition. Its shares
are of a par value of 1.000 francs, but
they sell at about 3,700, and last year
they paid a dividend of 113 francs, or
about 3 per eent on the investment
Here I may cite the progressive de
cline in dividends of the bank, which
were 250 francs in 1881, 290 in 1883, 22
in 1883, 214 in 1884, 185 in 1885, 155 in
1886, 150 in 1887, 143 in 1888, 153 in 1889,
157 In 1890, 159 in 1891, 130 in 1893, 124
in 1893, and, as I have just said, 113 in
1894. The effects of the world wide
panic in 1890, the destruction of enter
prise and fall in the rate for money
are registered in the earnings of this
bank during the past three years, not
to count the results of seriously in
creasing banking competition. In con
section with this it may be interesting
to note that French commerce has been
benefited for years by the steadiest
and lowest rate of discount of any
country in the world. The Bank of
France has the one central office and
an auxiliary place in Paris, Place Van
tadour, and besides this in the prov
inces it has 94 branches, 38 auxiliary
bureaus. 20 annexed localities or
branches of branches, 105 towns (villes
attaches) visited by the agents of the
foregoing branches, or 258 bank
ing locations, in all of which
the bank rate, as applied in
tha city of Paris itself, is equally in
force. Thus not only general accom
modation is granted to the extreme
outoosts of France, but this accommo
dation is at a uniform rate of interest
It is as if the Chase national bank, for
example, had branches throughout the
United States in which prevailed the
same discount rate on advances made
in Kansas City or California as charged
in New York city. This shows how
deeply the roots of the Bank of France
are embedded in the economic system
of this country. In 1890, when the a
erage rate of the Bank of England was
4.69 per cent and the average rates of
the great state ban Us in fans, Lionaon,
Berlin, Vienna and Rome were 4.54,
the average rate of the Bank of France
was 3, So in 1891 it was 3 per cent at
the Bank of France, against the gen
aral European average of 4.00, 2.07 in
1893 against 3.53, 2W in 1893 against
8.81 and 2tf against 3)tf. It is true that
in 1894 the average in London was
lower, but English commerce has been
ublected to changes that have never
been felt in France. The rate may
never go quite so love in Paris, but
it never goes so bjrh: the inter
est rate is always more equitable
throughout the year and over
a series of years in France than
elsewhere in the world. Not only
through its numerous branches and
uniform rate of interest, uniform
throughout France, at any given time,
as well as throughout the years, does
tha Bank of France furnish perfect ac
commodation to the commerce of the
whole of France, but likewise by its
regulations regarding the size of dis
counts it affords to all borrowers, of
low as well as of high degree. The
statistics of the Bank of France show
a gradual enlargement of its opera
tions in bills receivable of a small de
nomination, an enlargement dispro
portionately great compared with the
Increase in the number of such bills
discounted. For example, there were
discounted in 1881, 10,494,849 pieces of
commercial paper, all necessarily bear
ing three names and for a period of
maturity never longer than three
months, of an average value of 1,167
francs, or say $333. In 1889, 13,363,431
pieces were discounted of an average
Value of 714 francs, or $143, while in
1894, 13,489,506 pieces were discounted
of an average value of 646 francs, or
8128. As many of the operations are
THE VALUE OF GOLD.
It Is Flsad by tha Charter of tha Bank of
England and the Coinage un or tna
Nation.
In the Chicago Times-Herald of June
10, Mr. J, Laurence Laughlin, proles
aor of political economy in the Uni
versity of Chicago, published the fol
lowing article:
The idea residing In the words
value of money seems to be particu
larly open to misunderstanding, ui
course, value Is a relative tning. una
article can have exchange value only
in comparison with something else.
Its exchange value is the quantity of
other things for which it will ex
change. Gold, for instance, may be
compared against corn. The value of
23.23 grains of gold, expressed in corn,
is the number of bushels oi corn it win
exchange for. The value of that gold
(a dollar) in general is the quantity oi
goods in general for which it will ex
change. Now, what follows? It must
be as clear as a whistle that value,
since it is a relation between two com
modities, or between one commodity,
like gold, and all other commodities,
is affected by anything which touches
both of the things compared. If the
conditions affecting corn change, but
if nothing whatever has changed the
conditions affecting gold, then the re
lation between gold and corn has been
changed. That is, thevalue of gold
relatively to corn has been modified,
even though nothing whatever has af
fected the gold term. In other words,
gold can go up in value relatively to
corn, whenever corn is cheapened in
cost, even though there is as much
gold in existence as before.
"If this explanation of value be kept
clearly in mind, it will be easy to see
why a government stamp on money
cannot fix its value. The stamp, certi
fying that a gold coin contains 23.33
grains of pure gold, is not all that is
needed to give to the gold an exchange
value; nor is it even an essential. Gold
would have a value even if it were
never stamped. The stamp is only a
convenience to save weighing and as
saying at every use of gold. The im
portant thing, however, is the quan
tity of things for which gold will ex
change. How does the minting of gold
change the value of gold in the world?
The value of gold can be modified not
merely by causes affecting the supply
and demand of gold, but also by causes
affecting the cheapness and dearness
of all goods exchanged for gold. If
goods are generally cheapened in cost,
that means that gold buys more goods,
or prices fall; but it does not imply
that gold has been limited in quantity.
For the cause changing the value of
gold did not concern gold at alL Then,
if the value of gold, which is its rela
tion to other goods, may be changed
by fluctuations in the cost of these
other goods, how can a government
regulate the value of gold? It is im
possible for a government to govern
the varying costs of commodities in
general; it cannot say that goods shall
be made this year at higher cost of
production, and next year at lower
cost of production. Hence it cannot
possibly control the value of gold.
"The difficulty in trying to control
the value of gold and silver becomes
more apparent, then, the moment we
consider what value is. Since it is a
ratio to other goods, the value of gold
can be controlled only by governing
all the conditions of supply of and de
mand for gold, and all the conditions
touching cheapness or dearness in cost
of producing goods. To attempt to con
trol all the conditions affecting the pro
cesses of production is absurd. And to
suppose that merely minting gold does
this is fitill more absurd. But to attempt
to cor trol all the conditions of supply
of and demand for gold itself, iJ quite
as impossible for any go rernment,
tais law u-n-c-o-n-a-t-l-t-u-
t-i-o-n-a-V What wonderful instru
ments these constitutions are. The
supreme courts are discovering new
meanings in them every day that have
been concealed all the years since their
adoption and never before suspected to
exist These discoveries beat the
"great cryptogram" all hollow.

All new schemes of fiat money mnst

retirement of the greenback issues of
the federal government and to put a
stop to the constant and dangerous de

thus relieved from the responsibility

creased the total product of the world

tory of the precious metals, it is evi
dent, at once, that, even on the gold
side of the comparison, there are con
ditions of tremendous importance to
h vn.lnA of cold wholly outside the
control of any governmental legisla'
tion."
On June 11, in the introductory to
another article. Mr. Laughlin said:
"It might be supposed that when a
immrnmnnt fixed unon a metal nice
gold as the standard of payments, mauo
a legal tender and gave it tree coin

Coin' calls an unlimlted aemana.
This is a noint that deserves discussion.
"Already careful examination nas
shown how impossible it Is for a gov
ernment to control the value of a metal
bv selecting It as the material of mon
ey. It has become perfectly evident
that no state can control tne exenange
relations of goods in general, with all
their comnlicated conditions or proouc-
. . . ,;i
Unn as over atrainst one metal, iiko
either gold or silver. That goes with
out saying. But that is a large matter
affecting the value of gold.
"And yet it must seem natural mat
if a government adopts gold as a legal
tender and gives it free coinage it cre
ates such a demand for it as to perma
nently regulate its value. This Is cer
tainly a mistake."
It will be noticed that Mr. ljaugnun
nersists in leaving out "supply and de
mand" as factors in determining tne
nrices of roods and commodities. But
he is careful not to give the cause oi
the recent rise in the price of wheat
The "basic fallacy" upon which pres
ent monetary systems are built is the
assnmDtion that the present value of
gold is real, actual and natural, rather
than artificial and fictitious, the result
of monetary legislation.
Look at the facts. It is stated that
there are something like 200,000,000
ounces of gold In the world in the form
of coined money, and an unknown
onantitv in the shape of gold plate,
jewelry, eto. The annual product for
the post ten years has averaged about
6,000,000 ounces, about ne-haii ox
which has been used "in the arts.'
If gold were demonetized, as silver has
been, and coinage privilege denied to
it by the principal nations of the earth,
what would gold be worth with fifty
years' supply on hand and an annual
production twice as large as tne com
mercial demand for it? The gold dol
lar is essentially a "fiat" dollar, and
all talk about "parity" and "ratio" is
unmeaning and absurd, so long as we
balance against each other two metals,
only one of which has a fiat or legal
and arbitrary value. There can be no
natural ratio between two metals oc
cupying an unnatural relationship to
each other.
But not only is it not true that "the
stamp of the government upon a gold
coin does not make its value," but the
stamp of the government, impressed
by virtue of coinage laws, makes a gold
coin the value itself. We compare, dif
ferentiate and express all values in
terms of one, ten or fifty dollars, as the
case may be. Not so, however, with
the quantity of metal coined into a
gold dollar. We do hot say of it that
it shall be worth $1, but that it shall
be SI, and this privilege of being con
verted into a dollar we confer upon ev
ery 25.8 grains of standard gold not de
manded for use in the arts; with tne
result that no gold ean be obtained for
use in the arts for less value, so that
millions of gold coins are annually
melted and used in arts. Having thus
not given 25. 8 grains of standard gold
the value of SI, but constituted it the
dollar itself, we proceed to measure
the value of all other commodities, as
guaged by the law of supply and de
mand, with the gold dollar thus arti
ficially created by the flat of law.
The grotesaue absurdity of the me
tallic fallacy can best be recognized in
an attemot to measure the value of a
commodity in its own terms or by it
self. Under our coinage laws we de
clare by fiat of law that 25. 8 grains of
standard gold shall be one dollar, and
then gravely assert that 25.8 grains of
gold are worth one dollar. This is
simply equivalent to saying that a dol
lar is worth a dollar. Imagine lis es
saying to prove the worth of a bushel
of corn by Baying that it was worth
a bushel of corn. And yet that is
nrecisely what we do in the case of
the gold dollar. We never can tell just
what gold and silver are really worth
until we cease to use them as money
and allow their relative values, as com'
pared to that of other commodities, to
be differentiated and expressed in terms
of abstract and ideal monetary units,
. , , mi ,
or value denominators, ine vaiue is
in the commodities exchanged, and
not in the money through and by the
medium of which they are exchanged.
The mind of the average plutocrat is
fearfully constructed and wonderfully
made and its workings are past the
comDrehension of finite wisdom. With
the object lesson that wheat has re'
cently affordei staring him in the
face, and in spite of the fact that ru
mors of a badly damaged crop almost
doubled the price of wheat, Mr. Laugh
lin does not consider supply and de
mand as factors in affixing commodity
prices. .
By the way, an illustrative argument
can be based upon wheat and its price
that ought to cause even Mr. Laughlin
to blush with shame and confess that
the government's stamp on gold fixes
its value. It Is almost universally
claimed, and Mr. Laughlin will con
cede, that the price of the entire wheat
crop of the United States is governed
and controlled by the import price, in
England, of the exportable surplus,
such price being fixed by the surplus
supply of foreign wheat available for
her importation, the demand for con
sumption of her own people and the
value of gold money within her bor
ders. Now suppose, for the sake of
argument, that the English govern
ment should make an offer, by
law, good for five years, of-two
dollars a bushel for all wheat
brought to England. Would not
all wheat, everywhere, at once
become worth two dollars a bushel,
less the cost of transportation to En
gland? Just so, also, with gold. The
bank of England, by the terms of its
charter, is compelled to pay a certain
price in money for all gold offered at
its counters, while other nations do
the same Identical thing by virtue of
their coinage laws, whereby every
ounce of gold not required for the arts
has imparted to it a certain and in
variable monetary value.
The same argument applies to silver
under free coinage. If silver were re
habilitated and unrestricted coinage
privileges accorded to it the world
over, at a ratio of 16 to 1, every ounce
of silver would at once become worth
SI. 29, because, as is the case with gold,
it would become the measure of its
own value. The rule is this: When
unrestricted coinage privileges are ac
corded to a metal and a certain mone
tary value is given by law to a given
quantity of such metal, the commercial
value is merged into the monetary
value and the total output of such
metal acquires and commands the
monetary value into which it may
freely be converted by taking it to the
mint
The truth which the money power is
a i 1
anxious to moe Deneata a veu oi se
crecy is that the true money value is
auantitive, not intrinsic dependent
noon the number of money units in
circulation, not upon the material of
which such units are composed. If,
then, the abstract "unit of value" be
the gold dollar, see to it that the vol
ume of fnll legal tender money units
is sufficient to maintain prices. Each
additional issue of legal tender, paper
money units decreases the value of the
gold dollar, provided such money, so
Railed, is inconvertible and not redeem
able in gold, or is in excess of gold
held in the treasury for its redemption.
