Specializing on Borrowed Money,

THE usual rate of interest in the West
is 10 per cent, and it is generally be.
lieved that this is the correct measure of
the value of money. If the measure of
the value of commodity is what it will
bring this is true; but if the true meas.
ure of value is what the article can be
made to yield it is not true. Expe.
rienced capitalists and business men give
it as their mature opinion that there is
no kind of property as valuable as money
loaned at 10 per cent.-which is tanta-
mount to saying that the average yield
of industries, enterprises and specula
tions is less than 10 per cent. on the
amount invested, or, in other words, that
money is not really worth 10 per cent
There are several considerations that
strengthen this conclusion Money
loaned at 10 per cent. will double itself
in seven and halt years; $4,000 will
grow into $4,000 in that time, and $780,
600 will grow into $4,000 That the
average investment in business ventures
and industries will not do this is too well
known to need a demonstration. While
hundred men who loan money at 10per
cent, compounded, will, with prudent
management, double their fortunes in
seven and q half years, 100 men
whG 1 so1 money sny,e a, If 'h al rate ,hs
prudence and foresight they may
exercise, to double theirs. So far from
it, fifty of them, if not more, will break.
There is nothing more clearly estab-
lished by the experience of business than
the fact that man who conducts his
enterprises on borrowed capital-whose
only resources, or chief resources, are the
products of bills drawn on his ship
ments-will. in four cases out of five,
come to bankruptcy, and farmer who
mortgages his farm for half its value to
secure money at 10 per cent. in the hope
that its net yield will pay the interest
and principal will, in four cases out Of
five, be sold out. These plain and we'll
known facts appear to prove that the
average annual product of money in
vested in commerce, speculation indus
try and agriculture is not 10 per cent,
and that, while it may bring that price,
it is not really worth it. If all classes
of borrowers in the West could be
brought to appreciate this important
fact, it would be worth millions to this
region. There is world of financial
philosophy in it. Nothing is more ab'
surd, and in the long run more disas-
trous, than the delusion that a man can
get rich by borrowing money to specu..
late on; it is the secret of four-fifths OF
the cases of bankruptcy that occur IN
business and of the Sheriffs' sales that
take place in the country.-St. Louis he

It's setting in the evening to defend every act
OF the PRESIDENT in connection with the recon-
struction OF these Southern States. He (Mr.
Logan would appeal to every honorable man
VINO fought against the country, II there was
honor in doing it, to verify what he said in
defense OF President Grant. He had built no
prlson-pen for Southern soldiers, nor pro-
vlded any dead line upon which to shoot
them down. When he captured the whole
democratic party Of the South at Appomat-
tox he turned them loose with their arms and
horses, and gave them provisions. When
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, and Others like
them, should be forgotten in this country,
there would be no country left. When the
Democratic party was dead and rotten in its
grave, the memory Of Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan would shine in the hearts of the
american people like the MONDAY sun.
Applause in the gallery, which was prompt
~ checked by the VicePresident.l
Resuming his argument, Mr.. Logan said
the Republican party should not be fright
ened. The President had recognized the Rel
logg Government; the Legislature of the
State had recognized it; the Supreme Court
of the State and one house of Congress had
recognized it. Now the duty of the Republic
can party was PLAN. Let the other branch OF
Congress recognize it-recogniZe the man
elected as Senator, and all would be settled.
Some people would say that this was strange
position for him (Mr. Logan to take; but
there was no other left for him. 1t was the
right position, and he took it because it was
right. 1t had been said that the Republican
ship was sinking; but with the Great Mariner
above at the helm she would not be wrecked.
He (Mr Logan could look over the broad

would ride the tempestuous waves and anchor
herself at the shores reserved for her-the
shores OF honesty and justice-and there rest
undisturbed.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Logan's
speech there was quite a demonstration
OF applause in the gallery, but the Vice
President announced that the rule would
be enforced, and order was restored.

Col. NJ Smith:
DEAR SIR-The CORE spondence Of
Pine Knot, Jr., from this place to you,
of June 23rd, was very good, so far as
it went; only he exaggerated a little
in regard to our hotels, still at the
same time, we always try to do the
best we can for visitors, when they
como to see US. He also forgot to tell
you about one great drawback TO our
place. Our saw mill king employs
many hands white and colored, and
pays them off for their labor with
brass tickets, which are only redeems
able at a certain store, at a certain
price, which is nothing more or less,
than q monopoly. The laborer is
worthy of his hire and ought to have
the privilege Of spending his money
where he pleases.
/ WOULD like you to notice in your
paper, whether a brass time ticket,
with the partyis name on it, is not tho
same as o note OF hand.
b We have a fair prospect for good
crops. Times dull and little business
