USURY LAWS.

Are National Banks exempt IrOH
the provisions of State usury laws?
In view of the recent enactment OF
the six per cent. interest law by the
North Carolina Legislature, this
question becomes one of interest.
The United States laws upon the
subject appear to be conflicting.
For instance, the National banking
act gives no exemption. Section
5197 of the United States Revised
Statutes is as follows: 80
"Any association may take, re-
ceive, reserve and charge on any
loan or discount made, or upon any
note, bill of exchange or other evl
dences of debt, interest at the rate
allowed by the laws of the State,
Territory, or District where the bank
is located, and no more, except that
where by the laws OF any State a
different rate is limited for banks of
issue organized under State laws,
the rate so limited shall be allowed
tor associations organized or exist
ing in any such State under this
title. When no rate is fixed by the
laws of the State, or Territory, or
District, the bank may take, receive,
reserve, or charge a rate not exceed
| ing seven per centum, and such IN.
| terest may be taken in advance,
| reckoning the days for which the
note, bill, or other evidence of debt
has to run"
This seems very clearly to forbid
any discrimination in favor of
National Banks, but we are told
| that there are numerous decisions
upon both sides of the important
| question as to whether or not the
penalties for usury can be enforced
against National Banks. Among
the negative decisions is one from
our own State, in the case of "The
Mechanics and Farmers National
Bank of Charlotte VS.. Myers" in
which it is held that National Banks
are subject only to the penalties pre-
scribed by the United States Bank
ing Act for taking usury, and that
the power of creating such banks
being vested in Congress, is incon
sistent with a power in any State OF
Territory to affix penalties on the
bank for taking unlawful interest.
So it appears that in North Caro-
lima the penalties for usury cannot
be applied to the National Banks
and hence, as we said yesterday, tn,
new law practically places in theil
hands monopoly of the per cent
interest business in this State, thus
operating to the prejudice of Stat'
banks and private lenders of money
This, too, in the face of the rapturoul
claims of the fusionists of love for thu
people and their enthusiastic denun
citation of National Banks.
We are not opposed to State con
troll of interest and we are not op
posed to the maximum rate bein1
placed as low as six per cent, If i
does not prove a hardship to thos
who are obliged to borrow. W

A California Batter fiy Yarn.

From the Chicago Times.
Men of science are saying that
butterfly was lately found in a dor.
mant state under a rock in the
mountains of. California, which is
believed to have lived thousands of
years, or since the close of one of the
later geological periods. When found
it was believed to be the only living
representative of its species in exist
ence. Science has made it possible
to believe any lower strata, red
sandstone, or petrified snake romance
that may be told, but in the Cali
fornia case it woul" be great help
and comfort if the man who rolled
the rock on the butterfly could be
found.

FALLACIOUS PRETENSES.

The eagerness with which the re-
ceLt bonds were sought, both in New
York and London, doesn't argue
that there are suspicious that this
government is likely 30 become bank
rupt.
Before the bond issue there were
hints of an impaired credit and the
gold bugs cried aloud for the admin
istration and Congress to save the
country. 1t seems that they sue
coed in frightening the administra-
ton, but Congress didn't scare
worth a cent. The gold reserve kept
tumbliug, Grover had said he would
continue to issue bonds as often as
it became necessary to maintain the
reserve, private arrangements for the
sale of bonds were put on foot and
after Congress had turned deaf ear
to the horrible forebodings of the
gold-bugs and had said that this
government should not be pledged to
gold mono-metallism, the private
| bargain for the sale of bonds was
consummatej and the government
again became the victim of a syndi-
cate OF money-sharks, who bought
the whole batch at the low figure of
1O4.
The governments credit is all
tight now. OF course. So it will re-
main until the money sharks are
| ready for another tremendous profit
at the expense of the people. Then
another raid upon the treasury will
set in, another cry of impending
bankruptcy will be raised and an
other Issue of bonds will. likely, be
made, whereby the avaricious CAPT
talists will become still richer and
the government will be thrown still
deeper into debt.
How fallacious were the pretenses
of a loss of confidence in the United
States government is shown by the
accounts of the opening of subscrip-
ton books for these bonds. On the
morning of the goth the books were
opened in New York, at 10 O'Clock,
and just twenty minutes later they
were closed and it was found that
the bonds had been subscribed for at
least ten times over and the same
day 116 was bid for them on the
| streets.
The books were opened in London
the same day andso eagerly were the
bonds sought there that we are tolo
