THE HARLEM BRIDGE ,JOB.

Unless the Legislature comes promptly to the
relief of the city more than two and half
millions of dollars will be taken from the tax
payers for q bridge over the Harlem River that
will not be needed in this generation. In fact
the city would not suffer if il should not be
built for fifty years. Two bridges are now
building over the Harlem, at SccOnd-ave. and
Madison-ave., which will be completed soon,
but it is proposed to misuse $2,GS0,000 of
public funds in adding to the number by erect
ing an extravagantly costly structure only a
quarter of mile above High Bridge, where the
land on both sides of the river is hcld by a few
great estates. There has never been any public
demand. for such bridge. 1t is a scheme not
fo- public benefit but to ad vance tho value of
the property of few millionaires and enable
them TO dispose of it at fancy prices. The
most active agent in pushing the scheme is
former official who tried to earn q reputation
for economy in Office by fighting every Just
claim against the city that was not held by some
one of his friends political supporters. But
he was ready enough then, as he is ready now,
to spend public money prodgally when his
private ends could be served thereby He had
worthy agent and representative at Albany
in the Senator who introduced the Harlem
Bridge bill, a legislator fit for Tweed times
Senator Plunkitt has never hesitated to avow
his contempt for anything ike principle in pol
itcs or legislation, and he has done more
mischief at Albany in the last two sessions than
any other member of the NcwYork delegation.
He tried TO get a friend of his appointed q
member of this Harlem Bridge commission, and
remarked: why just see what IL chance there
ais for him The commission can spend any
aamount 1t is not limited"
That is perfectly true. Never was bill moro
loosely drawn than this one. 1t does not limit
in any way the expenditure for the bridge. No
mission may be guilty of the city must foot the
bills. And the commissioners have gone to
work in a fashion that may well startle the tax
payers. They have drawn up a most
amazing contract with the Union Bridge
Company, which IL to build bridge at
cost of $2,6S0,00O, the city paying
for neutrality-suspicious., labor, materials-and
adding 10 per cent to compensate the company.
The great Brooklyn Bridge, which is crossed
by more than 10000 people daily, cost New
York only little more than twice as much as
the estimate for this structure, which is to be
erected solely for the benefit of few private
estates Did the Tweed Ring nflict on Now
York any single job much worse than this
a peculiar feature of the matter Is the appar-
ent change in the attitude of the Mayor toward
this indefensible scheme. Last summer he was
extremely bitter against it and talked of apply

But that is not true. 50 careless are even us
lnguishcd men at times tnat in some recent
remarks one affirmed that this remarhaoie
stendincss was about 10 pence per ounce. but
he was about 20 cents per ounce out OF the way
Probably he meant 80 pence, but the average
prjce Of silver bullion in London, though
never below 80 pence from 1881 to 1874, rose
from 59I4 in 1915 to G2.OG in 1889, and that
was the average FOR the year. How huc"
higher the price went during that year Is
immaterial. Here IL a difference OF nearly . per
cent: in 1915 the value of the silver ID an
American silver dollar was lOO.4G, ana III 1907
it averaged 1922.
The broad fact is that for fifty years goi"
has been the only measure OF value III tllS
country, and silver and paper have had only Il
representative or subsidiary circulation. Inc
proposal is to change all that, and to make
silver the measure of values and the means OF
debt paging because the debt Of over 100 cents
in gold can thus be paid with less than 80 cents
in gold.

MISLEADING STATLNEyTS

There are few fallacieS often employed by
cranks on the silver question which need occa-
sional notice, because by their constant tier
alton some sensible men may be deluded. The
first is that the Government borrowed money
down TO 1878 and funded debt in bonds pay
abe in "cOin,' meaning either gold or silver
coin at its option, and that it therefore has a
perfect right to pay in the cheaper of the two
coins. Yet the same cranks who make this
plea are constantly asserting that silver COM
manded premium over gold for many years
prior TO 1878. The one assertion answers the
other Because the silver in the standard dollar
had been ovcrvalucd for forty years, 50 that
nobody had used it in paying debts and none
had remained in circulation here, the coins
being sent abroad for sale as bullion, every
body knew that Government must pay in gold
coin, il in coin ut all, and expected that it
would. The fact that when the money was
borrowed all parties supposed that the contract
meant gold and nothing else. and actually
expected that pay ment would be made in gold
and nothing else, settles the meaning of the
obligation for men who are governed by a sense
of honor That which both parties, when the
money was borrowed, understood and expected
to be the stipulated mode of payment, is to-day
the only mode of payment which honor permits.
Still it is asserted that there is no proof of
such an understanding but only presumption.
That is untrue. When the Treasury offered its
bonds, cautious foreign money LENDERS saw the
word cOn,r and being at first ignorant of the
fact perfectly known here, that this country
had no silver coin in use with which such
debt could possibly be paid, asked whether
