a "tart reply made by Mr.. Silver to him, in
these columns, and proceeds
with your permission, Mr.. Editor, we would
say a word on the lecture OF Mr. OByrne on the
subject of Labor. In our opinion, the lecture
was, on the whole, as fairly reasoned as could be
expected for we do think II would be easy to
get the Gazette to tell the truth, or whiskey
merchant to peddle Temperance Tracts, as to
get lawyer to truly represent the cause of labor.
Waving all other matter, let us at once upon the
most important question now before the People
of Delaware. Mr.. O'Byrne urges the repeal of
all Usury Laws. II we were about to frame
new State OF Society and enter upon our lands
unembaTassed, we would,say away with all usuTy
laws let Capital flow to where it s needed; but
pause moment and view things as they are.
What il the situation Of the men who culti-
vate the lands in our State at this timer Many
of them are in debt for their lands, bought at
high prices, paying the half or three-fourths of
the purchase money and giving mortgage for
the balance at six per cent, with the under
standing that ample time would be allowed for
the payment. Abolish the usuary laws and
what would be the resultl Ademand would be
made for the money. AT the present prices of
produce it could not be raised What then ?
They must pay just such rates Of interest as the
money holders see proper to demand, or the
mortgage will be foreclosed. Thus farm after
farm will be forced into the market, lands must
fall in price and fall back into the hands Of the
holders Of the mortgage, and those men who
have toiled for years to make themselves and
families homes must he turned eut, or become
the tenants Of their oppressors.
Tell us not that men in this situation may ap-
peal to the generosity Of those men. Open the
door for this extortion and the mercy they re-
ceiye will be the mercy the vultures give to
lambs.
The objection entering into state of Society
is that the weak may be protected against the
strong. Now wealth is power, and that power,
unrestricted, will be abused and the very first
principles Of government violated
There is not farmer in the county who now
clears six per cent the capital invested, saying
nothing about his own labor and the labor Of his
family.
