Interest and Usury.

We learn from Washington that the House
Committee on Banking and Currency are in
favor Of repeating the usury clause in the
national banking law. That clause subjects
the national banks to the interest laws Of the
several States. 1t Is said that this clause Is
well known to be almost dead letter, and
its retention Id the stalute-book works only
injury 10 borrowers.
Should Congress repeal that cla,,ses what
then: We suppose some law applicable will
be passed: such. for Instance, as that pre-
vailing In several States where rate is fixed
to apply to all cases of borrowing and lend.
ing save where it is otherwise agreed,
The wrong inflicted upon the borrower
when the State fixes rate Of interest to pre-
vail In all caHcs Is this !: Tho danger incurred
Of exceeding that limit diminishes the num-
Der Of lenders and increases the rate Of In
terest. The capitalist who runs the risk OF
violating the law charges not only TIE value
of his money, but sddsa charge for his peril
The borrower Is the sufferer. lie gives his
note 10 third person, and that person sc!!s
1t for what il is worth in ft:s market. Can
the law reach tta' case? Or will the third
party .trn States evidence to convict him
self, without advantage to bis character or to
his purse? Such transactions were common
In this city when the State law made all over
six per cent. tSurious, and they arc common
in every State where 4 usury law exists. Aud
how many cases of conviction for violating
the law have occurred; Only epeueE t. mack
up the shavers in ci'a,-::n.:iis: excessive rates
for loans ard compelling the needy borrower
ID submit to an immense loss. That's I'll.
We have before us q paragraph from the
New York Ercni,l9 Post which is pertinent
to this question::
This experiment has been fried not hast
ly, nor IN an obscure place, Int in the most
intelligent, cultivated, and far-sccny COM
munity that Tc tlavc-that of Massachusetts.
Six years ago, i'll accordance with tho leach
ings of every enlightened p1litlcal econo-
mist that has written. and at the demand Of
the Agricultural no less than the commercial
classes i passed IN act fixing the rate of in.
forest ut six per cent. in all cases save when
il was otherwise agreed upon. and not a man
in the State would now 20 back to the old
law. Rhode Island has done the same, Con-
nect!cut has done the same. and other New
England States are prepared to do it, simply
because They have observed the good effects
Of the change. Interest Is not higher than it
was; on the contrary, is lower. the money
market Is less liable TO stringeucies. small
lenders and small borrowers meet Un better
terms, and the whole condition Of things is
improved"
This is the proper way to settle the quc5-
ton everywhere Freedom 70 lend and to
borrow on terms ngrerf! npon by the parties
| themselves Il the best protection to the bor-
| rover. The fixing of rate and prohibiting
any higher rate of interest inevitably sub
| mits the borr"wcrto the mercy Of the lender.

QHackery and Crime.

The Pennsylvania Legislature has up bill
for the protection of people against Quackery
and crime. That State led the nation in the
beginning of this century in medical educa'
ton, and now has become the homo Of quack-
CRY. There are rogucs in Philadelphia who
sell Diplomas, and who nave done an i'm
mcn.e business. In all parts of the country
there are incompetent and ignorant raScals
pretending to treat disease who bought their
Diplomas from hrmhng medical colleges in
Philadelphia, SO that it is peculiarly appro-
rrtaic that the Legislature Of Pennsylvania
should set about purging the State Of such
impostols. The Philadelphia fress gives Us
follows the rufport of this bill:
"rhc whole work of examining physicians
and their credentials, and allowing or for
bidding them to practice, As such eXlmina-
ton may decide, is c1ntidcd to the various
county and State medical societies through
out the State. The certificate of any one
society is good IN any part Of the State, and
bv the register Of each with the county clerk
OF the county wherein 1t is given, opportuni.
ty is afforded for velifcaticn tv correspond

clan not qualified by certificate Is liable to

Financial.

Nj. BUCKINGHAM, Of Connecticut. ON Fri
day addressed the United States Senate il
favor OF his banking and currency bill. L
provides for the issue OF limited amount o.
bonds bearing G5-l0o per cent. interest
convertible into United States legal-tcndcl
notes, aud recoverable at the option of tho
holder. This, he claims, would give elias
ITCHY to currency, relieve stringency, and
make it impossible to create corner. This
| is mainly the plan favored by the late Mr..
GREELEY. He favored Il three percent. bond
which should be convertible into United
States notes and be recoverable at the will
Of the owner.
The House Committee on Currency was
on Friday engaged in considering Mr..
MERRIAm's bill to authorize the organization
of national banks without circulation. 1t
was unanimously agreed to, and will DC re-
ported at the earliest opportunity.
The committee also agreed to Mr.. HoARs
bill to provide for the safety of the bonds of
the United States and to facilitate the buying

Secretary Of the Treasury to designate such
national banks in each State from time to

and provides that such bonds shall be regis-
tered i'll the name of the bank holding them
in the following form: National Bank of

The banks are TO keep book in which are
to be entered the numbers and other descrip-
tons of bonds held in trust and the names of
the owners thereof. aud are authorized to
issue to such owners certificates signed by
the president and cashier that they hold such
bonds in trust FIR them, and to collect the
interest and pay over the same without com
pensation. The equitable title to such bonds
may be transferred by II surrender of sach
certificate to the bank on the issuing of Il
new one to the purchaser thereof.

INSURANCE Lossis.-The losses by in
surance in the United States within the last
two years are enormous. The Massachusetts
Commissioner of INSURANCE, reports the loss
in that State alone within the year at s5G.-
5oo,Qoo. There cannot possibly be any such
loss in Virginia; but with such an example
before her, Virginia should conclude that in
surfing property would be poor way to
pay her debt. were it proper for her to go
into the insurance business under any con-
ditlOn OF things. The State should gorera
her people, and never become competitor
in any of their pursuits. What would be
thought OF her If she were to set up Il
laundry and 60 to washing dirty linen ut low
prices? The State has much dirty linen
herself, but she would find il more econ omi-
cal to put it out than to undertake the bust
ness herself. II she got into washing and
ironing she would lind both repuldTe; and
the latter she would decide, With ~, Min

National War on Intemperance.


Senator Wilson has introduced into the
United states Senate bill for the appoint
mcnt of commission of inquiry concerning
the results of the legalized traffic in intoxi-
eating liquors also the results of the sup.
preston OF intemperunce In supdry New
England States, and to suggest what legisa-
lion, If any, should be adopted to prohibit
within the sphere of national authority all
Intoxicating liquors as beverage.
Senator WILSON would hardly have led in
this national move against ardent spirits be-
fore the late e'eet!on. 1t looks little odd
to see t',c Anan who befoued himself with
The Credit-Nobilier attempting to cut off the
soldiers and sailors grog. He is attempting
