The UsURy LAVA report from the Ju-
dietary Committee was made to the Senate
on Friday, recommending that no change be
made in the law of Usury, led to an animat-
ed debate. Most of the Senators who spoke
on the subject, were in favor of the change,
except Mr.. Marsh aud The enlightened lie
compton Senator from Posey and Wander
burgh- He said :, he thought we had bet
ter be money lenders than money borrowers.
Legaiize a larger rate of.inierest and labor
woulfcease in proportion. He was for a
low rate of DEMONSTRATING we should
have more productive labor with low inter
est than with high interest"
The Hon, Senator might enlighten some
ofhis constituents by, citing some instances
where low interest and an active demand for
labor prevail OF where low interest and
high wages have ever been known to exist
together. 1t is the profits that labor makes
on capital, aud its demand for il to work
with, that makes interest high, and not the
laws allowing labor to hire money At its
own rates.
