THE STATUS OF GOLD.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The letter of Mr.. Jamesbie in your
issue of February 10 tells us that lit is
merely assize of gold which gives to
gold of certain ineness a definite value"
1t would have been better If an ordinary
word instead of "assze" had been used
we could then have told better what the
meaning is. The generally accepted under
standing is that the use of money in any
form Is simply convenient form of barter.
A pound of gold and pound OF gold coin
of equal fineness are of equal value in the
exchanges of the world against any goods,
with the exception of the cost of coinage,
which is sometimes met by the government,
sometimes by those demanding coinag for
their bullion.
In other words, it is question Of bal
ancng the. value of gold against the total
value of all other commodities, for should
an excessive amount OF gold be found with
in the next three months it could all be
coined under present arrangements by the
lucky finders, who might therefore be large
bidders for all the necessarIes and luxures
OF life, but the presence of such an I'M
usual demand would, of course. drive up
the prices of such things: that is, excess
of gold increases prices. The argument
against silver was that its value was less
constant than that of gold.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1910-02-23

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: There can be but one right remedy
for the high cost of living and that is TO
make 1t SO that those who desire TO farm
may buy farms, seeds, stock, implements,
etc. at right prices, and then that the
farmer may get right prices for his produce.
In order to do this must first make it
possible for capitalists to build and operate
railroads at right prices; that is. TO give
railroad builders and operators free hand
by making it impossible for land owners
TO demand exorbitant prices for right of
way through their farms, pastures, wilds,
etc. Then we must stop taxing franchises
and stop unnecessary interference with
railroads by legislatures.
The railroads are nothing more than inn
proved public highways. Because they
work twenty-four hours a day and 500 days
a year and make much money cannot be
offered as good reason why they should
be taxed off the earth
There seems TO be an everlasting increase
in commissions, committees, conferences,
consultations. rigid Investigations, inquiries,
hearings, probes, appointments of experts,
fines and concentrations. which amount TO
little more than considerations for high sal
aries-another big item to be added to the
already dreadful cost Of living. The pro-
Queer must foot these bills. whether he be
farmer, mechanic lahorer.

REFORM IN THE NAVY.

AS The Tribunes Washington dis
patches predicted several days ago, the
House Committee on Naval Affairs has
voted in favor of giving Secretary
Meyers plan for the reorganization OF
his department years trial. Though
tentative approval like this does not
possess the value OF a formal enact
ment with no time limit, it Will serve
good purpose. The advantages when
the country will derive from the pro-
posed reforms cannot be revealed fully
for several years, but in twelve months
they may become sufficiently manifest
to Justify legislative sanction for
longer period While, in our Judgment,
the House committee might well lave
taken more decisive action, it is to be
commended for its evident willingness
to let Mr.. Meyer demonstrate the prac-
tical merits of his plan.
While it was practicable to put
large part of the programme recon-
mended by the Swift board into effect
by executive order alone, Secretary
Meyer has naturally and properly hoped
to secure the cooperation of Congress.
There is good reason to believe that a
fair trial of his reorganization policy
will lead both branches to approve at
least its main and essential features.

There has seldom been - more note

Ily court proceedings, and now n bill *
before The Legislature of that state
which is intended Ia make any such di-
version of the states waters impossible
Meantime statements. arguments and ap-
peals of the most positive character
abound 9n both sides. We are told on the
one hand that Staten Island is in a pitt
able and all but desperate plight for lack
of water; that the United States reser-
vations there are 80 much in need Of it
that the federal government is pleading
with New Jersey for q supply: that the
only possible source OF supply at present
and until the Garshill aqueduct is fin
ished is in lew Jersey. and that all that
j. asked is the privilege of securing such
q supply for a few years ON the 0ther
hand il is as positively declared that no
scarcity exists on Staten Island, or none
that cannot easily be met from local sup
niles: that there is no real demand there
for New Jersey water; that the great eA-
r,ense Of The PROPOSED extension disproves

\ second is that the state ought TO pro
hibit any such diversion of water WHICH
is or will be needed within Its o"h
boundaries. A third is that IL Sta'ei'
Island and its federal reservations are
really III need of water which they eau
not get from any other source for seNea"i
years. and if New Jersey can for those
several years spare the needed amount

state service will be stopped ana All vi
New Jerseys water Will be restoIeu ~

graceful and commendable thing for New
Jersey TO heIp New York and the federal
government out of their predicament by
letting the mains be laid from Bayonne
to the Borough of Richmond But inns
conclusion hangs upon series of three
ifs
Ii ought to be practicable and not par
ticularly difficult 10 ascertain olnciahs
the exact facts in the case. New jersey
certainly does not want TO be seinSn anu
unneighborly in the matter But neither
does she want TO be tricked into losing
ar essential and invaluable part OF her
natural resources which in a few years
may and probably will be Indispensable
To her welfare. The past record OF water
operations in that state, it must be con-
fessed. does not inspire high degree or
confidence in promises that the privileges
which are now sought will in a few years
be relinquished. Yet if permission
should be granted for the temporary dl-
version of New Jersey water to Staten
Island il ought TO be possible for the
state to enforce fulfiIment Of the agree
ment and to stop short such diversion

PROSPECTS, AT WESTMINSTER

Some Of the less judicious spirits in
British politics appear To have been IN
duly peTturbed 10y the utterances of the
leaders in the first sitting of the new
Parliament. 1t is. of course, possible for
almost anything to happen. but surely
the strong probability is that there will
he no immediate crisis, and that the pro
gramme indicated in the Kings speech
viii be followed out with large degree
Of success Mr.. Redmond. in the resolu-
tien which he has caused his followers to
adopt. does not threaten to oppose the
government. but merely TO refrain from
supporting it. Well. in that case the
remainder of the coalition will have
enough votes 10 pass the budget. And if
a.; has been suggested. the IIaborileS and
Il score of extreme Radica.s should also
refuse Ia vote, there would probably be
enough either active or passive support
from the niuniSt side 70 save the king
dom from fiscal chaos. Mr.. Balfour'S ref
erenoe to the expected passage of the
budget by n cold and chilly but numer-
io4liy adequate support" was sufficiently
significant
Next viii come the question of the
House of Lords If then the Nafiona lists
refrain from voting, as they probably
viii. the rest of the coalition will still
have votes enough TO pass a bill If the
l.ahoriieS and extreme Radicals. how
ever follow the Irish example the gov
eminent viii he placed in d minority.
unless it prepares a bill for the reform

san bias as 10 command non bipartisan
support Nor is that altogether improb-
able. The definite abolition of the veto of
the Lords on purely financial measures
may be agreed to without serious dissent
particularly if it is coupled with pro-
hibition of the practice of putting non
financial riders" on such bills. As for
reformation of The constitution of the
upper house. there is no doubt that
much Of the best sentiment of that house
itself is in favor of it,. Lord LansdoWne
declares thai - il can be Shown-as sure
Is IL can-that reform of the upper house
would increase its efficiency the peers
themselves stand ready TO cooperate In
making such reform, while Lord Rose
berry has for years been one of the fore
most advocates of a pretty complete
transformation of that house If the
I'nionists are willing TO have the consti-
triton of the House of Lords chang
and if the Liberals are willing TO have
the reformed house retain a reasona Bile
degree of legislative authority, il ought
L" he possible for them 10 agree upon

constitutional revision.
