we have nothing in either of these direc-
tions, viewing these from the most fav-
CRADLE standpoint; and exercising the
broadcast charity, to justify the hope that
there will be any marked change in the
direction of ameliorating the condition Of
the people. Then the duty of the pa
riot is clear. A party made up of the
two. leaving in the background the pollti-
cal hacks, similar to the republican party
will give us the needed reform. Hence
l am. for Peter Cooper, and a new party.
This party has already created much en-
thusiasm, and appeals to the best inter-
est of the laboring classes against the
threatened aristocracy which class legis-
lation fosters, | have looked the matte
carefully over, and cannot see any issue
from our financial distress, only in the
national greenback currency founded up
on the wealth OF the nation, and a wlth>
drawal of the national baEk circulation.
With this broad-brained humanitarian
as president, with the men that he would
call around him to administer the prln-
cipal functions Of the government, our
para]gzed interests would awake as from
the dead, and spring forth with vigor
unprecedented in the history OF financial
prosperity, so let others do as they may
in the coming contest, here is one vote
for Peter Cooper and honest govern
ment.
Yours,
f. w. b. HARVEY.

Some Thoughts on Getting into Debt by an

The effects OF loaning money for pay
on the high and noble sentiments OF man.
are such as described by your cores
pondent Locke, in your last issue. The
history OF ancient nations prove this;
and the people OF modern Europe and OF
this country feel this to he true.
The effects on the passions and sentl>
ments Of man, who pays interest for the
use of money, are as injurious rs on him
who takes interest. 4 vast majority OF
men who pay interest tor the use OF mon
ey lose portion of their independence
and If they avoid xtravagance. idleness,
dishonesty. cunning and fraud they DO
well.
We should have an uniform rate OF
interest for the use Of money throughout
the United States. fixed by the federal
government; and that rate should not
exceed three per cent premium. the con-
sequence would be that most men would
use their own money in farming, stock
raising, manufacturing, merchandising
or whatever else it might be.and employ
the man, with no capital, but his brain.
skill or muscle. and this is rs it should
be. to leave anything like an equitable
distribution OF property, harmony and
happiness. and good feeling between
the rich and poor.
No doubt but Grenier, of Paris, in ex-
pressing his own sentiments towards the
creditors ofthe government. in Europe
expresses the feelings of large part o
the common people; we know he is cor
rect in his estimate of the sympathy o
the capitalist for the people.
The heartlessness Of the capitalist OF
one side and the fate of the people or
the other, may cause the time to come
when the people OF Europe will repu
date their national debts
We can pay ours and must, and mus
keep out OF debt. or the republic will

that were. We. OF the west should qui
borrowing money OF the east.
The actions OF the milliunares an
capitalists of Europe and this country
have Just been approved By national cor
yentions OF the too great parties OF tn
country. This should cause all men I
