To its relative value as compared with

comparative cost of production. Judg.
ed by this test, the facts seem to indi-
cate that gold has not appreciated, but
that it has, il anything, slightly depre-
ciated. The cost of production is in
dIcated, not by the amount of other
things for which gold will exchange,
