UslsTy WIS,

We are glad to see that the aboli
ton of all laws restricting the rate o
conventional interest, is question
which il attracting attention i'll boil
houses of the legislature.
There seems to be a strong proba
bility Of the measure being carried
out.
We certainly hope so. The laws
how in force on this subject in most
of the States of the Union. can Meth
er be defended on the ground of prin-
ciple, or eypediency. Nor can it be
said that any effects are produced, ex-
cept higher rate of interest, and a
continual violation of law. Who, we
would ask, pretends to loan money in
this State at the rate Of eight per ct ,
Ii is not notorious that money SO far
from being loaned at that rate of inter
est, can scarcely be obtained at any
sum- At certain periods it is well
known that the amount of money in
the market is at least ten times as
