Special order.-Housc -, relating to in
I terest.
I Mr.. Drake of Royalton, said he should ia
yOr the passage of the bill because he cOnsid-
cred it for the best interest OF the State of
Vermont. He was under oath to act in
/ cordance with his conviction of what would
tend to promote the interests Of the
State. Every comm dity is worth what it
will bring in market and if anything comes
4 in to obstruct the natural course of things
there will be friction and trouble. Money
/ is not unlike other articles of commerce in
this respect; supply and demand will al
ways regulate the price. If we should enact
a law that farmers should not receive any
more than % cents per bushel for their po-
tatOes, when they are worth so cents in
market, should chase the farmers out of
the State TO sell their potatOes-yes and to
raise them too. lie thought the argument
that money is monopoly was of little OF no
! force, and We must give it it's true value.
There are more farmers that lend money
| than there are that pay interest upon 1t. Ii
