Laws which are No Laws.

laws HUH uIC NV AWVSs
Governor Washburn gave tho Vermont
legislature this sound advice in his inaug.
dral message, on the moral subject of
laws, which are never enforced, of which
the usury laws of the State is q striking
example. "The certainty that an existing
positive law cannot be- violated with i'm
punity, that transgression, if known, will
surely be followed by punishment, has as
much influence in promoting respect for
the law and preventing its violation, as
the example Of visible actual punishment.
And the continual existence upon the
statute book of positive law which has
become so far obsolete as to be wholly dis
regarded and openly violated with entire
impunity, has tendency to weaken re-
spcct for all law. The law in this state
prescribing the legal rate of interest for
money loaned, and positively prohibiting
the taking, either directly or indirectly, of
a greater rate of interest than the rate
prescribed lie now in this condition. 1t is
daily and openly violated by banks and
10y individuals, and its violation is entirely
disregarded. 1t serves only as check
upon those who are too contentious to
knowingly disregard any positive law, and
operates as an inducement to them to
send their capita! abroad for investment,
instead of investing it in the State for the
promotion of its industrial manufacturing
and mechanical interests. 1t is thus d.
rect element Of harm and practical mis-
chief. The only remedy for its enforce
ment is given to those who consent to
borrow money at rate exceeding the
lawful rate, and involves the necessity Of
their bringing suit to recover. back money,
which they have paid in pursuance 10
their voluntary agreement. 1t thus oper.
ates mischievously both ways. If allow
ed to be violated with impunity it weak
ems respect for all law; and remedy fol
its violation can only be obtained by san-
ctioning the violation of the promise, in
reliance upon which the loan was effected,

SLURs ON WoxEN.-Of oil the evils
prevalent among young men, we know Of
none more blighting in its moral effects
than to speak slightingly of the virtue of
women. Nor is there anything in which
young men are so thoroughly mistaken,
as the low estimate they form Of the in
tegrity Of women-not Of their own moth
ers and sisters, but of others, who, they
forget, are somebody else's mothers and
sisters. As rule, no person who sur
renders to this debasing habit is to he
trusted with any enterprise requiring in
tegrity Of character. Plain words should
be spoken on this point, for the evils .
general one, and deep-rooted. IF younl
men are sometimes thrown into the soci-
ETY. Of thoughtless or lewd women, they
have no more right to measure all other
women by what they see of these, than
they would have to estimate the charac-
ter Of honest and respectable citizens by
the Developments Of crime in our police
courts. Let our young men remember
that their chief happiness of life depends
upon their utter faith in women. No
worldly wisdom, no misanthropic philoso.
ply, no generalization, can cover or weak
en- this fundamental truth. 1t stands like
the record Of Go itself-for it is nothing
less than this-and should put an ever
lasting seal upon lips that are wont to
speak slightingly of woman.

the Plantation Bitters:
"We had no conception of the wide
spread suffering which exists, or of the
almost infalliblc cures produced by the
Plantation Bitters, when we first com,

find that every house has weak child, an
ailing parent, or debilitated aged member,

and we are glad to know that they have
done you SO much good.

A Good Word for Iowa.

The editor of the Methodist Record
er says:
Iowa is destined to become great
State. During the past year 600 miles
of railroad have been constructed with
in its bounds, and along its different
lines of railroads, towns are springing
up as if by magic. In the production
of corn the State stands third in order
in the aggregate amount produced, and
in the average per acre it leads all 9TH

ricultuaal department it appears that in
1864 the State produced total of 49,

The Critical Condition Of the Country.

During the past Eve years the people
have been treated to elaborate essays upon
tho unexamplcd prosperity of the country
under Republican rule. The claims of the
PARTISAN press that all the people were
making money faster than ever before
have heretofore been assumed to be true
by the mass Of the people, and it is only
recently that the claims have proved to lie
false. The truth is that the commercial
and mercantile interests of the nation
were never in more precarious condition
than now. The seeming prosperity Of the
country was purely fictitious, produced by
deprecated paper currency always fuc-
tuating in value, unstable markets and the
speculative mania that these causes pro-
duced. The awakening of the people is
likely to be bitter; for few are prepared
for the great crisis that is imminent.
Three or four years since all our farmers
and business men were able to live in a
rtyle that they had not been accustomed
to, but there are few to-day who are able
t. make both ends meet. The farmer re-
ceives but SIS to 10 cents currency per
bushel for his wheat-less than he re-
ceived previous to the war, while he is
obliged to pay an average of so or GO per
cent. more for his tools, his household
goods and the necessarics of the table
than at that time. Few merchants now
doing business on our streets are paying
expenses, and none are realizing the right.
full returns upon their investments. So
far from being prosperous we are rapidly
apr aching to bankruptcy.
Much of this can be rishtfully attribu>
ted to the policy of the present and past
administrations. Congress, by its profit
gacy in the expenditure of the peoples
money; by its creation of a vast multi>
tude Of new officers all anxious to prey
upon the public treasury; by the main.
flamenco of the supremacy of the military
oyer the civil power; by its expensive and
granting immense trscts of the public do
main, to giant monopolies, has extracted
tho substance from the people and left
them poor indeed. And the present fnan-
cial policy Of the administration seems to
be directed in the same way-to burden
the people for the benefit of the rich
bondholders and the unsuitable cormor>
ants who feed upon the public treasury.
The thing Ia evident: unless our gov
ernment 10 administered with more econ
omy than it has been in the past unless
the burden Of taxation Is reduced unless
the rich are compelled to defray their
portion Of the expensss Of the government,
we will be involved in financial ruin.
Yhis has long been evident TO all thinking
business men, and IL we could avert the
impending calamity the whole people
must mite in demanding reform on the
part Of cur rulers. The republican party
is responsible for the present condition Of
Affairs, while the democratic party is pow.
