The Ten Per Cent. Interest Law.

The State Senate of Ohio has pass
ed an act recognizing the legality of
ten der cent. interest charge upon
loaned money. The idea of its advo-
Gates 10 that by the large legal inter
est capital will be enticed into the
State from States where only six or
seven per cent: is legally admissible.
One thing is certain, that, when the
United States ia paying a bond inter
est equivalent to eight or nine per
cent. in legal-tenders, it Is extremely
difficult to obtain money for six per.
cent. There is no question upon
which political economists differ more
widely than in regard to the nature OF
a legal policy which should be pre-
served in regard to interest. In the
discussions which have ensued, all the
old arguments of free trade on the one
hand, and usury on the other, have
been duly revised and again exhibited,
probably without making a convert on
either side.-Cin. Enquirer.
We are amazed at the curt and
apparently Indifferent manner in which
The Enquirer treats the usury ques.

lance to a Democratic Editor, who
processes to be essentially the friend
of the people, and particularly, the
laboring portion OF that people, wheth-
er they shall be compelled to pay six.
ten, fifteen or twenty per cent. inter
est, upon money borrowed from a
iard-fsted Shylock? We confess
that our symplthies are in the other
direction. Ninety-n;necases in a humid
red, six per cent is as much as any
thrifty man can afford to pay for
money in these days of grinding taxa
ton. In the place of encouraging the
bondholders, and other money kings
to increase their rates, the public
press, and the people, should demand
that those rates should be put down
to three or three and a half per cent
Legalize ten per cent. and your Shy
locks will have fifteen! The way TO
make money plenty is to stop specu
lation, encourage agriculture, the me-
chanical arts, and every other branch
of industry, and money will find it
say to the people. The people musi
have something to buy money with, o;
they will fail to get it. AS a Demo

foolish and needless legislation. I
