National Bankrupt Law will SGT once moro on
their feet, andrestore to hope, energy, and indie
pendence. Keep them under the harrow, and
they never can pay; let them uP, and some oil
them will make good every dollar they owe.
For Bankrupt Law discharges no debt; it only
forbids the further use Of legal machinery for It's
collection. The moral obligation TO pay when
ever able still remains. And we firmly believe
that more money will be realized by the credit
ors of insolyents under a Bankrupt Law than In
its absence.
We hope Judge Spaulding and his Committee
will be especially stringent in their precautions
and safeguards against fraudulent bankruptcies.
1t is here that former Bankrupt Laws have
failed and incurred popular odium. Nobody
Or next to nobody-really desires that the
nose Of honest poverty shall be held to the
grind.tone; but there is general and whole
some prejudice against permitting scoundrelS to
put their property out Of their hands, undergo a
legal withdrawing, and ride in their coach-and-
four ever afterward on the wealth that they
have stolen from their creditors. But for this,
there would be no serious opposition 20 Bank
rupt Law, and no act can be too stringent on
this side.
We expect to see good bill reported by
Judge Spauding, and to have it become law
before the close Of the Session.
