UsuRY LNws.-SeveraI papers in the
state, we notice, have attacked our usnry
laws, while others defend them. and be-
tween both, there promises to he a pretty
thorough discussion of the merits Of those
laws by the press before long. We are glad
OH, for we are Of opinion that when their
nature and operation are thoroughly under.
stood BY our people, they will be brushed
away as relies Of bagbarism anl a foolish
and unnecessary restrain, on business.
II may be well enough to have a legal
rate ofinterest; as when a man fail, to pay
a sum when due aud no rate Of interest has
been specified. Bat that no man shall be
allowed 10 borrow or lcud money at more
ihan6 per cent. interest, is provision that
the very Legislature itselfwhich pa>sedit tao.
knowledged TO be wrong aud absurd. for
j fOrseIieve that same legislature passed

wise to pay such an interest than TO let the
canal 20 to ruin for want Of means to finish
t,and for exactly like reasons man often
finds il 10 his advantage to pay 10. or even
20 per cent interest. Money has its price,
and It's ilIctuation in price, Just a much as
the article Of wheat, and i, is as foolish 10
attempt TO regulate its price by law as it
would be 10 regulate the price of wheat.
The usury laws Of our state are no more
regarded by the mass Of our citizens than if
they were dead letter. yet their existence
has the evil effect to keep capital ont ofthc
state. And that is about the only important
effect they have. As for taking advantage
o. them, il is a trick reSorted to only by
scamps, anil although the law may be on
his side, We know this community, and we
believe every other in the state, would re.
gard the man who agreed TO pay 10 per
cent. interest and then plead u>ury, in the
same light that they would regard 4 man
who attempted to cheat somebody, or vic.
late his engagements in any other way,
and then attempt TO creep out through some
loop hole Of the law.
