Dayton daily empire. [volume] (Dayton [Ohio]) 1850-1865, 1859-09-16

R0-A writer in the Journal Of this morn
ing, who has been raking the State for a
case upon which to make a 'por contra, y
finds one democrat in DOrke county whom,
II supposes, takes as much az he can get in
the way Of intorestp Astonishing And
that isolated case proves that the Democra-
cy in Montgomery and other counties in the
State are insincere in their eiforts TO secure
an usury law The writer Of this insuaer-
able nonsense is doubtless descendent Of
the man who undertook to prove that Tone
swallow made summer"
1t is notorious that money shaving is un.
der the especial protection Of the Republi
cans it has ever been under the careful
guardianship Of these gentlemen, no matter
by what name known while il is equally
notorious that the Democracy have ever been
opposed to the grinding praotices of money
sharks. He must have an unlimited stock
OF impotence who will attempt to show the
contrary, simply because democrats are to
be found here and there--isolated cases, and
the more noticeable because Of their peou,
liar isolation-who are engaged in private
backing. Mr.. Smith failed in more regards
than one, in his Horse Show He should
have offered premiums to impertinence and
impudence. The Journals writer would
have taken both medals.
IL is unfortunate for the Journal that IL
alluded to Winner, Of Greenville we will
state why The fact that Mr.. Winner re-
ceived the denomination at the hand of
Democrats proves conclusively that he is not
engaged in money-skinning after the style
OF Republican money sharks, and that his
general banking business is done to the sat,
isiaction of his neighbors and the commu
nifty 1.-The were "Shark" like into your
candidate for Senator, and his backers, he
could never have got the nomination of
democratic convention, or the endorsal of
democrats. You may put this in your bro.
ken pipe and smoke it.
The question now does not turn upon 6 |
Or 10 per cent. That has been settled, II
don't turn upon the vote uponthat measure
Tor that has nothing to do with the issue.-
It does not turn upon the election in Darke
county. 1t turns upon usury. And in or.
der to have our neighbor comprehend things
We will bring the matter home The democ
'acy Of Montgomery county are sincerely in
avor Of the enactment of a law to prevent
The taking of usurious interest. The imporf
ance of such law is felt by our business
men and others who have, by IneXorable ne,
'eSsity, been compelled 10 deal with money
havers its Importance is felt by every one
who has suffered directly or indirectly a,
he hand Of these Shylocks and these com.
'rlse large proportion of our population-
They are in earnest about this matter, YOU
nay be sure-in serious, determined ear
lest. The democratic candidates for the
Legislature are pledged to secure, il possi-
Die, such law; while the Republican can,
iidates, whose antecedents, sympathies, and
practices are with the money shayers, are
opposed to it The Journal is opposed to it,
Else why all this bosh about usury, and in,
'ineerity cfthe Democracy about it Why
narl about our professions in this regard,
while you and your candidates are making
Roadway with money lenders against us on
he ground of our sworn opposition to their
interests You can't accomplish your pur-
'ose in this way your shylocks will haye to
ome down. The people will it, and they
viii accomplish it.
