MANUFACTURERS rs. MONEY
LENDERS.

We find the following floating about in our
exchanges
'SuppOsing two men locate in a town, each
having 100000 cash. Then let US suppose
one of them loans all his money at ten per
cent. interest, together with the proceeds, for
ten years. Aud let Us suppose that the other
invests his 500 600 in good manu- featuring,
business and gives employment to one hundred
mechanics for ten years. Which has added
most to the prosperity of the town? The
money lender will have $500 900. and own it
all himself. That 100000 prof, will belong
to oEe man, and these who paid it will have
nothing to show for it, but many who paid ten
per cent interest will be bankrupt and broken
in fortune, while others will be no better off
than when they started, st the end of the ten
years. They have lived, and the capitalist
has the proceeds of ten years of their hard
and honest toll. The manufacturer in that
ten years will have paid for labor $3.50, GOO,
and much more for taxes and material. and
probably added 100000 to the taxable
wealth Of the town by reason of the earnings
of his employees. and the advance in prnperty.
and left labOrers with happy homes and
general prosperity. because he has given them
the money they have earned, instead of taking
it away from them. If this be the result Of
the two different modes Of using money, why
do not our capitalists use it to the advantage
of the town, and not to its detriment?"

Unanimously passed. After passage of the

the burden of sustaining the school in full
