, CHAPTER XIII.
Before there was a "coin" on. earth; :
before any device existed of the
nature of the symbol which Is "mon
ey," it could not avoid happening
among men, developing under the con
dition of private ownership, and a
selfish ; struggle' fof I exclusive... posses
sion, restrained fromvlolence by law,
even though those men were naked
and savage, that a more or less defi
nite quantity of one commodity would
be given in . exchange , for a more or
less , definite quantity ; of some other
commodity. Before any system of
weights and measures was established,1
it would necessarily happen that one
savage would give one haunch of veni
son, for example, in exchange for five
pheasants. The ability to count even
as high as ten would render easy such
exchange. :
Such . transactions, like every other
exchange under every system, would
be consummated because and solely
because of the agreement of the par
ties to it. Neither in those ancient
acts of barter, nor in our modern pur
chase and sale, can any exchange of
any nature take place, except as
the result of the agreement of the
parties in each particular case, j : .
i The essential conditions of exchange
between ; commodities : must always
have been the same under every sys
tem, and always rest upon agreement
of the parties in, each specific trans
action. It is only as to details that
the process has been changed. It was
barter between ' savages who had
neither "coin" nor a "money," and it
is still barter among is of today, who
possess both a "money'' and "coin."
The fundamental conditions of ejP
change of commodities-for each other
must always remain the same, and
rest upon agreement it. each transac
tion. All articles endowed with util
ity, susceptible to exclusive posses
sion, must of necessity have borne
from of old some sort of relation of
"exchange equivalent" to each other
in the estimation of savages even. It
was a necessity, .under any system of
barter, no matter, how primitive, that
some more or less definite fixed
quantity or fixed number of, any one
commodity must have teen at a given
place and time recognized as the "ex
change equivalent" of a more or less
definite fixed quantity or fixed number
of other commodities, and agreement
to "swap" would fix that equivalence
in each specific case.
It is true that this relation of ' ex
change equivalence could find no
means of expression before
the adoption of a "money term." But
a means of expressing the relation of
equivalence in exchange was never a
necessity to actual exchange, . which
depends upon nothing but actual
agreement. Such a device is always a
great convenience and "facili
tates exchanges" of commodities for
each other. Nevertheless it was al
ways .possible, even for savages, by
agreement to exchange, for example,
one dozen eggs for one wild duck
and without agreement no such ex
change is possible today.
It is clear that if at any given time
and place the quantity of the force of
demand for one wild duck was esti
mated to be exactly equal to the quan
tity of the force of demand -for one
dozen eggs, they would be the ex
change equivalent of each other,
whether a "money system" exists or
not. ..Still no actual exchange of the
articles could take place, either with
or without a "money," except as the
result of agreement in the particular
case. In, matters of exchange, there
fore, there is no authority and no com
pulsion, except insofar as the needs
of the parties coerce '.hem to come to
an agreement ; : . . : :

The relative quantity of the force of
demand at a given time and . place
might cause one bushel of wheat, for
example, to be the exchange equiva
lent of five bushels of corn; and this
relation would be as. well perceived
without any "coin," and' even with
out a "money," as with botbJ r ;
But to say that the quantity of the
force of demand in action, at a given
time and place, for a definite quan
tity of wheat, is equal to the quantity
of the like force, at the same time and
place, for a definite quantity of corn,
is t n o. t ! to r x jtre a s what the fixed
quantity of that force is. '; To say that
the force of demand for one bushel of
wheat Is of the same quantity of val
idation as the Valuation of that force
for five bushels of corn doe3 indeed
express the relative quantity of "val
ue" of each.'; T' ;..;.? :
It declares that the fixed quantities
of each article thus named ; are the
exchange equivalent of each other and
are acted upon by an equal quantity
of the force of demand.-whlch consti
tutes: equal valuation; but ' it utterly
fails to express to U3 w h a t that
quantity of the force of demand, thus
valued, is. It merely shows the rela
tion as to quantity, in : which those
particular articles should exchange for
each other. ; There is among the sup
posed people no word, by the use
of which a fixed quantity, of the force
of demand may be uttered or ex
pressed. ; " .' '.. ' -,
In the absence of a "money" term,
there Is no "standard." What is need
ed is to 'fix upon a definite quantity,
of that force and choose a term to ex
press it which shall be a "unit" .
It is out of the perception of this
"exchange equivalence" that some
thoughtful persons ? have drawn the
false notion that rvalue - Is a gela
tion," or that "value is a ratio." But
it must be observed, too,' that the re
lation is . not a relation between the
commodities. . The relation is be
tween the quantity of the force of de
mand in action for each, inducing a
"valuation" or estimate of its relative
degree of intensity for each, and so
begetting a different "valuation" of
quantity of that force for each. The
two quantities of demand do
stand in a relation to each other; but
neither quantity of that force can "be
said to be a relation.
Just as we saw that the degree or
intensity or quantity of force of de
mand is always estimated by human
beings; yet the force of demand thus
"valued" cannot itself be human es
timation; so here the two "valuations"
of that force of demand, standing in a
relation to each other, cannot them
selves be that relatoin. : ;
What we call "value" is simply hu
man appraisal or "valuation" of the
degree of intensity of the play of the
force of demand for commodities en
dowed with utility. -
The quantity of the force of de
mand, in the case last supposed, was
five times as great per bushel for the
wheat as for the corn. . But neither of
these could be a fixed standard for
the other, although a relation between
the two quantities of the force of de
mand would be plainly perceivable and
a simple ratio would express' this.
But where there are a countless multi
tude of "heterogeneous commodities to.
be exchanged, the thing required is
not a means of expressing the rela
tive quantity, of the force of demand
for any two specific commodities; but
a means of -expressing a quantity of
that force, which shall be fixed and
unvarying and which, may be applied
as a common standard to express
quantity of that force for all commod
ities. A
Such a device never could have been
and is not now a necessity in the
exchange . of commodities. It always
must have been and is now a great
convenience and greatly "fa
cilitates" those exchanges.
The governing body of a nation hav
ing been compelled by the necessities
arising out of the exercise of the tax
ing power to instituto the device
called "money,"- it is soon siezed upon
and used as a means of facilitating
exchanges of commodities for each
other, by expressing a fixed quantity
of the force of' demand for any
commodity. 1
