81 man of ordinary business intelli-
gence goes to borrow he knows what he
is about. and any other should have
guardian.
LITTLE THOUGHT OF PAY DAY.
When a man goes to borrow, he OK
poets to better himself by so doing.
otherwise he is incompetent to trans
act business.
The borrower is. usually, anxious to
get the money as soon as possible, and
fear as q rule at tho time of getting
the money. he gives little or no
thought about pay day, or if he does
will think he can renew then, and we
know that a very small per cent of
loans are paid when due. ! have
heard it advocated that it would be n
good law if no one could collect a
debt legally. then all financial deal
ings would be on the basis of honor,
as to the borrower, and | am inclined
to think it would be good law, as
soon, no doubt, the wheat would be
separated from the chaff and the wheat
would have a borrowing credit but the
chaff not.
NEED MONEY LENDERS.
When it comes to a question o,"In
terest, many people cast reflection
on the money lender, of dishonesty or
unfairness. We should not forfeit that
wcru it not for such loanors, no great
enterprises could be carried out. 1t
seems 10 me that money in Il certain
sense, is like commodity, such as
corn. wheat and livestock.
When a man buys property, lie usu-
ally expects to make a profit by do
ing so, and unquestionably he does, If
he makes his living by buying and
selling property.
! ask YOU in all fairness. when he
goes and buys some money, or buys
tho use Of II, which is the equivalent
does he not expect to make a croft
on it"
In my opinion, the ordinary money
lenders should not be classed with
the Shylocks. Most money lenders
were at one time, borrowers and by
! long thrift have turned the tables
ENTITLED TO RECoMPENSE
Men Who with their brains, credit,
money and enterprise, back up banks
and other big institutions, are entitled
to a fair rccompcnse, and my opinion
! is that but comparatively few great
companies pay dividends of 10 per
cent big investors arc very glad, as a
rule, 10 get per cent or even less.
and promoters of big enterprises know
this.
Money lenders arc often misjudgcd,
as is told in the parable Of the talents.
in st. Matthew. Then he which had
received the one talent. came and said,
Lord I knew thee that thou art an
bard man. reaping where thou hast not
sown, and gathering where thou hast
not strawed and I was afraid, and
went and hid thy talent, in the Garth
: 10 there thou hast That is thine. His
Lord answered and said unto him.
Thou wicked and slothful servant thou
kncWest that reap where sowed not,
and gather where ! have not strawed.
Thou ought"st therefore to have put
my money to tho exchangers. and then
at my coming. | should have received
my own with usury."
You viii observe that the word usury
is sometimes used as a synonym OF
the word interest.
LEGAL RATE UNIMPORTANT.

interest cuts but small figures in the
ordinary transactions of business, and
