uo,sr EN- rHEIR OWN PErARD.

The question with members OF the Cen
oral Assembly in the matter OF holding
q constitutional convention was not
would appear. as TO whether OF not such
a convention was desirable, but as TO
whether or not it would hurt the chances
Of some candidate TO vote ON this ques-
lion at a regular election
There Is no doubt that majority oil inc
,ne,nbers of both branches were willing
70 vote for the Withers bill to submit to
the people the question Of Convention
or No Convention" but there were grave
doubts and apprehcnsious AS to the time
at which such vote should be taken, and
betwixt the apprehensions OF the Senate
on the one hand. and the approximations
Of the House on the other the bin was
defeated.
The Times has never been in favor OF
the convention proposition. But I'm mat
Ter Of this character we DO Ike TO see
the measure considered on its merits ana
not from the standpoint Of partisan poll
ties. If the members Of the General AS
senbly believed thar convention was
necessary. or that the people were de-
sirous OF voting on tho question then
they should have passed the Withers bli
without reference TO fits effect on the
politlcal fortune of this or that candidate.
But we cannot onor our sympathies to
the friends of the convention movement
As we have so often observed, their
proper course was TO go IN earnestly and
actively for constitutional revision 10y the
amendment process. and II all the friends
in and out Of the Legislature. OF consti-
tutionaI revision had united cordially III
sucb an effort. there IS no doubt in our
mind that practically new constitution
would now be in process Of adoption But
II was clear from the beginning That the
convention advocates intended TO stand
or fan by their proposition TO hold
convention. Their plan was to do Moth
ing whatever In the interest OF revision
by legislative initiative, and having
shown that nothing was 10 be done in
this direction to use that as an argument
,n favor OF the convention. And so they
have lost all.
This is source Of honest regret to MS.
We have been entirely candid in dealing
with the question. and while We have all
ways been opposed TO a convention, We
have not been opposed to constitutional
revision and We are sorry indeed that
the opportunity 20 secure such revision
in the way provided by the constitution
itself has been permitted TO pass away
unimproved

Readers OF The Times have already dis
covered for themselves that we feel a
great interest in the question OF fruit cul-
ture I'm Virginia.
II has been absolutely established that
in many sections Of Virginia a hourishing
apple orchard viii yield more money than
can be obtained from the same quantity
Of land otherwise titled, and the apples
are produced at nominal cost to the
planter.
Much has been said Of the apples OF
Albemarle but it is apparent that apples
quite as good can be produced in many
other counties Of the State. Mr.. George
w. Via Patrick county farmer, has
been making some experiments for him
self. and has recently sent TO dis
ungushod clergyman at Danville a sam
pie of his "Albemarle pippins' in order
TO demonstrate the fact, as he asserts,
that the section IN which he lives can
compete successfully with any other Sec
ton on earth in the production Of this
variety Of apples as well as Of any other
variety of apples that is adapted TO that
latitude.
He declares also that a few hundred
or a few thousand dollars spent I'm that
section Of Patrick in the cultivation Of
pippins would pay upon the Investment
better dividends than on anything else
that could be grown on the land.
The trouble with the Albemarle pippin
is that it is addicted to speck rot. Mr..
Via says that in order to make the test
for himself he grated few small seed
ling trees with scions OF Albomarle pip
pin. with results entirely satisfactory. All
OF these trees were so heavily laden with
large apples. he says. that the limbs
broke under tho burden OF fruit and the
specimens produced were perfect Of their
kind.
But, in addition 10 pippins Patrick
grows other delicious apples-winosaps
and so on-and in Danvile and vicinity
the Patrick apple is preferred TO an
others.
Mr. Via says that he writes not directly
I'm the interest Of his own apple crop, but
by way Of inducing outsiders TO come TO
Patrick and engage in fruit culture as a
number Of orchards IN the vicinity Of his
own would I'm many ways be beneficial
TO him in prosecuting his work
We have repeatedly expressed the
opinion in these columns that o nrst-class
apple orchard in Virginia will, in the
long run. pay on the investment quite as
large profits as an orange grove under
Ike conditions in Florida There IS
money in Virginia fruit, and we are de-
lighted TO see that tho farmers are
gradually finding # out.

tho Rochester On. " Times. which de-
claros that the three questions are really
only one question. and proceeds TO an
swor It as follows:
There can be no Possible question but
that AZ our government by act OF Con-
gress should change the weight Of our
gold dollar from ono containing 2s.22
Grains of pure gold TO a coin Of half
that weight. and stamped IL as a dollar
with full legal tender power as 81 has
now. it would DE a dollar and OF noces-
sity would pass current at is full face
value" 10 controVert this fact would
be- TO deny the constitutional function Of
our government TO make money and reg
ulaie the value thereof Neither would
10 bo the first time that changes have
been made IN the weight OF our coins
True. such changes have been slight. but
on The same principle OF constitutional
authority they might II expediency so
required. be large.
That answer may be and doubtless IS
entirely satisfactory to free coiners and
others who believe In the omnipotont fat
Of government. with such people there
is no argument against the assertion
which IS here made
II the government by its fat and stamp
can arbitrarily make dollar by the use
Of certain quantity OF gold or silver, It
rs quite clear that It may make such
dollar by the use OF a certain quantity
Of any OF the less precious metals.
Our Rochester contemporary absolute
ly ignores the question Of intrinsic value
and with that question eliminated the
government may just as well make its
dollars Of nickel. or OF iron, or Of paper
Why q metallic currency at all? If 1t
is I'm fact within the power Of govern
rncnt to make money and regulate the
value thereof why not adopt the Popu-
lists idea altogether put the printing
presses to worR and grind out all the
money that the country needs, not only
10 supply the wants Of the people but
TO defray the expenses of government?
AS has been so portnently asked, IL the
government can make money why should
it tax tho people in order to raise money
to dcfray fits expenses?

FIAT MONEY.

Some time ago the following paragraph
was printed in these columns:
1T IS contended by free coiners that
gold has doubled in value-that a gold
dollar is now worth two dollars. If that
be true. then the gold dollar should be
cut in two, and instead Of coinins 25S
grains OF gold, it should contain only half
that quantity Of the yellow metal Now
suppose that that were done, Suppose
that the government should declare that
1873 grains Of gold constituted dollar
and that such dollar @as fun legal
tender for az debts-public and private.
Would such dollar pass current at its
face value? II not. why not? II the gov
eminent can. under free coinage, by us
s.anp and decree. convert hfty cents
worth OF silver into a dollar. why may Il
not by the same process convert hfly
cents worth Of gold into dollar? is II
not sheer extravaganza 20 use 25S grains
OF gold in making a dollar II 1928 would
be enough
