THE HOSTILITY TO LOANS AT INTEREST.

ton Back of the question Of silver lies the
fact that a multitude Of honest but mistaken
debtors believe themselves to be the victims Of
Injustice Few of them could explain just
what that Injustice is. But If we assume that
their sense Of wrong has something 10 do with
their being obliged TO pay interest on the money
they have borrowed we shall pot be far out Of

pay f. or cancclng the debt altogether II the

thinkers gave expression to 1t. and for seven
