A BILL has been introduced in the
Ohio Legislature to legalize ten per
cent. interest on special contracts.
For whose benefit has this measure
been brought forward? Certainly not
for the debtor or business classes. But
il is part of the policy that has been
First the currency is inilated to large
extent an men induced to con tract
debts Oil redundant currency, and
when thsx are fairly in the tolls Of the
money lenders then comes grinding,
oppressive contraction, and when the
people are completely at the mercy of
the creditor class, then come higher
rates OF interest, which absOrbs the
entire productions OF industry. TIE
mass Of t se people are already crushed
by an un ',earable burden OF debt, and
il is not they who are clamOring for
and incr .ase Of the rate of interest. 1t
has been found necessary in all civil
lied countries and in all ages TO have
some legil protection for the people
against the rapacity OF the money
cormorants, and never since the over
turning of the tables of the money
changers has there been greater ne
cessity for such legal protection than

lived with Mr.. Skidmore many years !;
Mrs. Titus, the honsekeeper, and her
husband-were burned to death. Skid
more was an old man, almost constant
