passes it over to the tax gatherer! No one will
deny that just in proportion as Legislation tends
to increase the safety and profit of business
by proper means, 1t also tends to induce compe.

holds good with regard to money lending as
well as other business.
What has been the operation of our stay and
exemption laws, which have at some times al
most entirely prevented the enforcement of just
debts? Simply to increase the risks of credit
business, and to compel those who give credit
to do so at rates of profit sufficiently increased
to insure them against such risks.

observed young man come up and present his
ballot, whom he had observed voting once, some
half an hour before. He accordingly challenged
the voter, and roughly removing his hat, which
shaded his physiognomy, so that it could not
be plainly seen, it became suddenly apparent
that the young gentleman who had already voted
once, and was ambitious to do so again, belong
