TIE USCRY LAWS,

We are strong in the opinion, that it
would conduce to the mutual benefit Of
both the borrower and the lender, if the
usury laws of this State were in some way
modified or altered. There need not be a
sweeping repeal 10 as to affect mortgages or
bonds 10 which = mortgage is collateral.
The interests of the farming class who
are most hostile to any change, could be
amply protected against hard money len
dsrs. The industries Of the State can never
grow 20 long a. the usury laws continue in
existence, - money will not be lent for the
purpose Of manufacturing, or any other in
dnstrial purpose at rate Of interest fixed,
and perilous if more than six per cent. is
taken. There are scores Of small manu-
facturers, and pushing shopkeepers who
would BE- glad to borrow money occasional
ly At special rates; but are now debarred
from 70 doing by the dread Of the penalties
Of our law. In consequence OF our usury
law, large blocks Of capital are invested in
seven and eight per cent. securities, such as
bonds, stocks, &c., in the City Of Whining
ton and throughout the State.
We ask our country friends, is it not an
absurdity unworthy Of an intelligent peo-
pie, 10 forbid our OWE citizens making the
same bargain about money - strangers
make every day in the week? Will some
one speak out? ..
