92 ON COMPARING COMMODITIES In this chapter I beg not to be understood as contending, either that the values of commodi- ties are to each other as the quantities of labour necessary for their production, or that the values of commodities are to each other as the values of the labour: all that I intend to insist upon is, that if the former is true, the latter cannot be false ; and I have endeavoured to ex- plain the source of the misconception which has regarded the two propositions as incompa- tible and contradictory *. The fact is, that the quantity of labour and the value of labour are in the same case. Any alteration in the compara- tive quantities of labour required to produce a and B, would alter their value in relation to gach other; and an alteration in their mutual value would equally follow from any change in the comparative values of the producing labour, * Of the two propositions, however, the latter is a much nearer approximation to the truth, for reasons which will be stated in a subsequent chapter on the causes of value.
