expended large sums on draining and

derived from private sources, the money

distributed free OF cost; and practical
instructors were sent out BY the Royal

MANY as five broods in one season, which
fact will not only account tor their un>

TIE USURY Id ".

sf~Our bill, which passed the Senate some
weeks since, to prevent usurious pracs,
.ices, is sleeping what we fear is the
sleep OF death, upon the table OF the
House. Our old TREND Major Hotch-
kiss, of the Mower County Republican,
takes us to task becaure he thinks VIC
made too many concessions to the money
lenders to secure the passage OF the bill
by the Senate but even these concessions
did not secure the passage of the bill by
the House It is indeed astonishing that
q measure, conceded to be just and nec>
essary, even by the leading and respec~
table bankers of the state, 10 prevent
the practices ofthe harpies OF the frontier
counties, should be killed by a legislative
body directly representing the people.
We cannot understand it.
Some pretend that the price of money
should be left to regulate itself. 1t this
be SO why has the State of Minnesota a
law on its statue books declaring that
no man shall take more than twelve per
cent tor the use of money? Ii money is
TO be lett to regulate itself this law should
be repealed. 1t is q usury law, which
restrains honorable and conscientious
mon while for lack of an efficient PEN
atty it is no check upon the money
sharks. All the usurer risks now il the
forfeiture of the interest over II per cent.
and this is not sufficient penalty to the
debtor to bring the matter into court;
and if he does this creditor is sure of mis-
principal and legal interest in any event.
Hence we have law defining usury ane
declaring it to be illegal but not Furnishing
it. The state stands in the attitude o
the man who was s'in favor of the
Maine Liquor law but opposed to putt
ting it in execution What would be
thought of law against murder where
the sole penalty was the forfeiture of the
club gun or pistol with which the murde'
was committed. How soon would mer
cease to slay each other under the opera
ton of such law?
Butt is claimed that the better iudg
ment OF the world is against usury laws

1t will be rememb bered that few years
ago this bird was imported into New
York and Philadelphia to destroy the
worms which were rapidly turning the
shade tree sof these cities into nuisance.
They ACCOMPLISHED their work rapidly
and completely, and then proceeded to
multiply at such rate that all our
eastern towns and cities are now liter
ally swarming with them. They seem
to possess all the energetic, aggressive,
bullying, go+ahead characteristics of the
AnGlo~Saxon race, and are like their
human relatives, rapidly taking possess
sion OF the continent They have now
reached Minnesota. Some OF our read
ers may have already noticed the busy,
restless, audacious little strangers about
.neir farms or gardens. We cannot do
better than quote an extract from DR..
Hatchs lecture:
More recently we hear OF their arriv-
al at Albany. Utica, Syracuse, Rochester,
Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, and Chicago,
