vestment, and would thereby tend to

House would pass it.
Mr.. Slade of Middlebury, moved
to amend SO as to make the legal
rate per cent, and argued that it
was better to establish that rate to
correspond with the laws of New
York and Massachusetts. He thought
the interests of the State demanded
that the rate Of the interest should be
raised to correspond somewhat with
the enhanced price of other commod-
tiles of the State, and instanced GER.
tain articles that have nearly doubled
within few years, and that we should
allow the money lenders to advance
the price of their commodity some
what. He offered this amendment
as partial compromise on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Grout explained his remarks
as not designed in any manner as an
appeal to the prejudices of the far
mers or any other class of represen-
tatives on the floor of the House. He
acted in accordance with his honest
convictions.
Mr.. Bull of Hancock briefly oppos-
ed the amendment.
Mr.. Hinckley disclaimed all inten-
ton of impnting unworthy motives
to any opponent of the bill.

the bill Oe ordered to lie and made
