THE UsURY LAWS OF THE DISTRICT.

We are glad to notice tnas persistent efforts
are being made by the Board OF Trade of
Washington and the Merchants Exchange
and Corporation OF Georgetown with q view
to the repeal or modification Of the usury laws
al present In force in this District. This law
prohibits higher rate OF interest than SIX per
cent under q heavy penalty, and though prob
ably sufficiently liberal under the old order of
things, is hardly suited to our present ext gen.
cies. While the Government is paying $40
interest in currency, and more than that on Its
bonds, with interest payable in coin, with gold
at its present premium, IL is not at all prob
able that parties will invest at six per cent on
business paper, no matter how responsible its
drawer or endorsers may be- Hence the cap
ital needed for the development OF our busi-
ness interests and the building up OF the Dis.
trict IL rendered unavailable, being either
locked upin Government securities or sent else
where for investment. In our opinion NO cause
affects these interests so Djuriously and ef.ctu-
ally as the present antiq uated law. When banks
and bankers get six, II not greater in tersst
on their balances in New York or else here i,
IS not likely they will loan IT out here at much
greater risk and expense. In most places
where business ideas prevail and the laws
have been made to develope, not dwarf them,
a legal rate of interest is established, but per-
suns biiONcu 70 OOTIOW money al SUCH
rates as their interests may dictate or needs
require, the price being regulated mainly by
the demand and supply, and this should be the
case here, otherwise our commercial and me-
chanical interests must continue TO languIsh
and suffer. Does any one suppose that Gin.
cinnati, Chicago, or any other OF the wonder.
full cities Of the West, could ever have attained
their present prosperity under the operation
OF our usury lawl
In this connection it may not be improper
10 oestow our hearty Communication on those
banks and bankers Of the District who have
all along done their utmost to accom- MEDIATE the
business interests with money al the present
rates of interest. We wish there were more o,
them. and though their profits or dividends NAV
not be so large as If they had dealt on the
''Shylockn principle, in the end they will lose
nothing, and may well feel pride in having
so materially aided the interests with which
they are so closely identified.
We bid those who are striving for the repeal
OF our Usury law, Goe-speed and hope that
tier efforts may be crowned with success, so
that our capitalists may use their money
amongst their own people, and in their own
city, for there Is no place where it could be
more profitable employed.

the action OF the Councils. and has arranged
for the paymen OF the arrearages of salary to
the teachers. This morning, consequently,
the teachers are being paid, and relief is thus
afforded to a large and meritorious class and
to those dependent upon them. 1t is to be
hoped that the Councils will promptly pass
the school bill, and thus enable the Mayor to
pay the salaries of the teachers regularly here
