The Interest Law.

Money, like water, seeks q level. If
Tennessee only allows 6 per cent. for
the use OF money, and another State
allows 10 per cent, it is very easy to
guess where the money would 90. The
natural result, then, is that money
becomes scarce in Tennessee. Those
who have it send it to be used where
it will pay them best. Those in Ten.
nessec, who have need for it in their
business, can not get hold Oft or else
they make a bargain, in their extremity
of need, with some old .niser in a dark
corner, and agree to pay him an ex-
t%ortionate price, which he is forced to
exact for fear Of his violation of law
being found out and subjecting him to
heavy penalties, and the borrower is
forced to pay or 60 to financial ruin.
In California there is no law regu-
lating the interest. In most of the
Western States the rate is fixed at 10
per cent. What is the result d? All those
States, from the bowling wilderness OF
twenty years ago, have becom thriving
and prosperous communities. A liberal
rate Of interest induces an influx OF
money. Plenty of money makes live
ly business. Mines are opened; rail.
roads built manufacturers Of all kinds
arc created; cities and towns grow
apace and everything is prosperous.
The great city Of Chicago was built in
twenty years on money borrowed at 1C
per cent. and to-day, though almost
swept Off of the face or the earth, she
is getting ready to rebuild her blocks
of marble business palaces and hel
rows of palatial private residences, on
money borrowed from the eastern cities
at ten per cent. The United States
Government pays about 7 per cent,
currency on its bonds, while q $40
bought in 1862 and held till the present
time, if sold, would pay it's owner 81
per cent. for the nine years he had held
it. Tennessee borrows money at ter
per cent. and with bonds at Csc, is pay
ing Oper cent interest on them. There
is scarcely a county or town in tho
State, whose bonds do not average G
per cent, while the bonds of Nashville
and Memphis, at present quotations
realize the holders u rate equal to II
per cent. A low rate of interest has {
tendency to induce rich men to invest
their money in these bonds, thus with
drawing it from business, whereas il
they could get the same rate for it, pub:
lie and personal pride would induce
them to lend it to energetic men who
would use it in the improvement and
advancement Of the communities in
which they reside, Plenty Of money

Sunday in New Orleans.

I was surprised ut the appearance Of
the streets. Half the business houses
and all the saloons were open. The
day seemed to be co~nsccrated to drink
ing and amusement, In the general
appearance Of things / could sec no
difference between Sunday and any
other day, except there seems to be
more gaycty on the Sabbath. | saw no
people going to church, either slngly
or In crowds. The street cars were
full, conveying people to the fair
grounds and the great base ball match
which came of to-day. Presently a
procession Of little children came filing
past, headed by a brass band. They
were going to the fair grounds. Then
another procession and another band
Of music, playing the liveliest tunes,
marched past on their way to the base
ball grounds. In an hour four differ
ent professions and bands Of music
had passed, all seeking places of
amusement in a body.

to Sabbath breaking, going in crowds

called pleasure gardens where the flesh
