At Rome, during the period of her Re-
public, and those were her pa'miest days,
she had in force the most rigid usury laws,
and yet interest on money was enormous and
this is what we might naturally expect, even
if il were not matter Of history.
The laws Of Mahomet prohibit loans at
interest altogether, and what is the effect in
the Musselmen domnions? 1t Is this--the
lender must not only be Unidentified for the
use Of his capital, but in addition TO that lie
rntts be paid for the risk incurred in viola
ting the law. Such is the history Of all
countries, where loans at interest have been
either fixed or prohibited by law. BIT in
other countries where there have been NO
interest laws. the reverse is truc.
In Holland FOR instance. where there has
been no interest law for half century, in
terest on money is cheaper to-day. than in
any other country in the world. Hence we
must infer that al u>urv laws. enacted for
the purpose Of cl,capcnirc the ratio of in
'rrrst must have exactly the contrary er.
rcc.

certain fixed rate ONLY. IS both wrong ir
rrircin'o onA mischcrous in practice. It
is setting m arbitrary value on their com.
modify IMPOSING maximum Of price upor
it and nsequentIy excluding from the mass
of floating or circulating capital all thar por.
ton whose proprietors cannot or will not ac.
cept of the limited rate Of interest.
Laws of this description are nccessari',
mischievous in their tendency ard it is wei
for society that they are so universally dis
regarded as they are.
And it is not less amusing, than instruc
tive. 10 find, that those very government,
that have fixed the ratio of interest have
themselves almost invariably, set The
noble example of breaking their own laws
by borrowing at higher than legal interest II
their own case.
then conclude that interest should bt
fixed by law only in cases where there is nj
previous contract or agreement between TIT
paities, as in case of legal recovery of
sum with interest. And for all such case.
the rate Of interest fixed by law, should b'
the lowest paid by individuals, because th'
lowest rate is that paid by the lowest in
vestments. But this rate should not be call
ed the legal interest, because the rate of in
terest in the business transactions of lif
ought ro more 10 be fixed and determined
by law, than the rate of exchange, or tn
price OF tobacco, wheat, linen, wine, sugar
coffee, or any other commodity. This sub
ject is one of practical Importance and de
lnands the attention and investigation Of an,
one who would pretend 10 teach or expount
the subject and instructive science of polit
ical economy. Buried in obscuriy as it wa
for so long time, it is but the fresher an,
more attractive now.
