UsiriOus Interest.

tits currently reported that the assignee
OF 5. Ii. Anderson was preparing to bring
suit against the Bank of Bristol, one of
Mr.. Anderson's creditors, and that the
bank people, getting wind of the propos-
ed action, quietly settled the matter by
Withdrawing their claim so far as it was
based upon usurious charges. This brings
to our attention the law of Tennessee in
regard to usury, which provides, in Sec
ton 2712 of the new code, that IF usuri-
Gus interest have been paid the same may
be recovered By action at the suit of the
party from whom it wa taken, or his
representative or it may be subjected
by any judgment creditor of such party
to the satisfaction of his debt" The Su-
preme Court has decided that "a claim
for usury paid may be assigned by the
borrower"
1t is a fact well established among bus.
mess men of experience that no man can
carry IN any legitimate commercial bus
mess, with justice to himself and his
creditors, and pay uswious interest. The
very fact of his borrowing money at rates
of interest in excess of the legalized
charge develops his business to be of a
speculative and hazardous nature inse-
cure in its foundation and liable to fall
and hurt somebody financially. The banks
know this better than any other class of
business men. Yet they continue to lend
money at cxorbitant rates of interest, in
direct violation of the law and every
principle of sound business policy. A
few such cases as this of Mr.. Anderson's
assignee may open the eyes of our bank
ing institutions and teach them they are
running too much risk in charging usuri-
Gus interest. If they are forced by the
Courts to loan their money within the
rates legalized by the statute, it will be a
great relief to the people generally. Cheap
money makes good times. Besides, the
poor devil who is now forced by crowd
ing creditors to obtain money at any price
and who loses his head in his frantic eff
forts to preserve his business name, will
be protected from doing himself and his
friends an injury by being slowly taxed
to death by the owners and controllers of
the money. bags.

legend, brilliantly narrated In
verstegan's PROSTITUTION of Decay
ed Intelligence a narrative that
has experienced the metrical pow
ers of Robert Browning in his poem
christened "The Pied Piper.' The
legendary account reads like this:
A Enthusiastically attiTcd musician
came into the town of Hamel, in
the country Of Brunswick. 1t ap,
pears that this town was infested
by an innumerable army of rats.
Pied Piper offered, for a price, to
rid the town OF those troublesome
vermin by calling into play the
invincible power OF his musical
talents. Well did he execute his
task, but the people withheld the
promised reward. This ange-ed
him. To be revenged on the
treacherous populace, he drew 13C
children Of the town, by the magiN
cal tones of his pipe, To a cavern
on the side of a hill, which, the
moment they entered, closed and
sealed them in forever.
