He was always opposed to die mettfods of many merchants who lauuolied out In extravagant enterprises on borrowed money, for which fhey paid exorbitant rales of interes'. Onoe, while talking about a project with an aoqalntauce, the latter said be would have to borrow the money for six months, paying intereat at the rate of three per cent, a month. "Why do you borrow for so short a time?" Mr. Cooper asked. ?- "Because the brokers will not negotiate bills for longer." "Well, if ycu wish," said Mr. Cooper, "I will discount your note at that rate for three years." "Are you iu earnest ?" naked tho would-be borrower. "Certainly I am. I will discount your nole for $10,000 for Irce years at tbat rato. Will you do it?" "Of course I will," said tbe merchant. "Very well," said Mr. Cooper ; "just sign this nolo for $10,000, payable in three years, and gire me your check for $800, and the transaction is complete." "But where is tho money for me?" asked tho astonished merchant. "You dou't get any money," was the reply. "Your intcist for thirty six months, at three per cent, per month, amounts to one hundred and eight per centum, or $10,800; therefore, your check for $800 just makes us even. The forco of this praciicinl illustration of the folly of paying such an exorbitant price for the use of money was such that the merchant determined never to borrow at such ruinous rates, and he frequently used to say that nothing could liare so fully convinced him as this rather humorous proposal by Mr. Cooper. ~f "Roofr isn Rye"?Washington, July 14.?
