COLLECTION WS.

We see that it is mooted in the Legislature
to abolish all collection laws. Now this is
a bold step and has the merit of attaining
directly what most legislators in these times
strive to accomplish indirectly. For our
part we must admit we prefer such a law
to wretched and unequal exemption laws
that reach the same result. With ex.
emptions and stay laws, and appraisement
laws and similar legislative toggery,a debt
or isjust as far out Of the way Of sheriffs
and executions, as total abolition Of all col.
lection laws will place him.
The system proposed and even tho prac.
teal effect Of that already adopted strikes q
deadly blow, at credit, which in every com.
n'ercial nation Of the earth, has been cher
ished and fostered as the developing agent
Of trade, commerce and manufactures The
enterprising poor, who iufuse into every
branch Of business its life-whose credit is
their capital, will to a great extent be ex-
cluded from actual business on their own
account, and the direct tendency is to
strengthen the hands Of wealth and oppress
the enterprise of poorer though more
active and intelligent. r.
These temporary relief expedients are de-
lusiye. The financial cancer was induced
by the wild spirit Of speculation Of the few
years past, and the outrageous usury asked
and payed in our flush times. The cupidity
Of the money lender and the folly of the
money borrower, have very properly en-.
|gulfed both in ruin, and it is melancholy
pity that these classes cannot pay their res
pective penalties of the violation of all
known business experience, without drag
|ging to the destruction they so justly merit
ed, those men who were engaged in the
honest and legitimate business Of the coun-
try, and have endeayored to develop its re-.
sources.
But We ask the Legislature what will
they do to relieve the merchant and the
legitimate business Of the country, if they
drive every one engaged in them to bank
ruptcy, by allowing the debtor to defiantly
Withhold the business mans capital for three
years or more. The certain result of these
expedients is to prevent both the giving
and obtaining of credit, and the evil of
such tinkering legislation will effect injur-
ously the poor far more than the rich.-
We regard it IS true progress and in &C.
cordance with commercial policy, to restrain
the free commerce in money and to fix
its value by legislative enactment, with Sc
we're penalties for the violations Of the law
Do this and you have cured the disease Il
but no legislative doctoring will supply
strength to the commercial and business
body polite, for the weakness produced
by this raging fever Of aYarice will give|
place but slowly to financial vigor and |
soundness.
