USURY LAWS.
Wc have been pleased to notice the action of
the Board of Trade ami Chamber of Commerce
upon the subject of the laws limiting the
amount of intercut to be taken for the uso of
money. "We have long folt asBurcd that if the
subject oould be seen for the first time without
the influence of traditional projudioc, it would
seem strangely inexpedient; strange thal, among
a people encouraged to the most constant com
merce, there should bo a restriction put upon
the use of ono of it. most common and neces
sary constituents, and that while money is a
necessary condition of commercial operations,
one man may not take or another receive, no
matter what their neocBBitics, moro than a cer
tain arbitrary amount for the uso of it.
That this provision of tho law is arbitrary
and unnatural is a sufficient reason of itself
why it should bodiscontiaued. Systems, to be
efficient, must be free', and it is manifestly im
portant that the system of trade, so necessary
to the well being of civilized society, should be
fetterod by no restrictions whioh may impede
its easy aotion. But there _ro circumstances,
at present, affecting the commercial condition
of our people here, which render UI?B restric
tion particularly onerous. Almost completely
without a medium. of e*chango-coin having
been carried off, and Confed?ralo currenoy ren
dered valueless by the result- of the war-it
was a matter of necessity that we should pro
cure such medium, and we have little with
whioh to do ao. There was but little cotton in
the oounlry; we have no other article of export,
and nothing elee to offer therefor butourorcdit
or our lands. For our lands there were few
purchasers, and they oould only be sold at a
ruinous sacrifico-for that sum, in fact, which
tho few capitalists ready for such investments
might have the charity to offer. Under BUOII
circumstanoes, it waa a matter of the last im
portance, that wo Bhould be at liberty to sell our
credit. It was only in that way that many of
us could take a single step in the way of busi
ness,-that plantations could be started, build
ings repaired, or implements or materials for
trade could be procured. It was not only
the privilege of men to offer for tho incdHun by
which these object- as much as they wero worth,
hut it was to public interest they Bhould do BO.
There bavo been places cultivated upon our sea
board, within the current year, at an expendi
ture of $6000, upon whioh the product will bo
$20,000. Thero are other places whieh might
have been cultivated, but for the want of
monoy, upon whioh the results would have been
tho same. Thero have been tradeo started, at
tho expenditure of a little money, upon tho
profits of whioh men have been living in oom
fort, with the promiee of a competonoy, while
enterprising men, without it, have boon in de
pendence) and want, and it is eminently impor
tant, therefore, that mon should be unfettered
in the use ef credit.
There is a general unwillingness to
violato the law. Men dislike to ask, or offer,
what the law will not allow, and ?npitnl
will not come to auch precarious scourity ;
if it shall, the capitalist will be sure to ask a
promium sufficient to cover the oxtrnordinary
risk. If scouro that they can enforce their eon
tract for a higher rate of interest, the owners
of money will bring it to the market in amounts
saffioiout to supply the want ; but without that
legitimate operators will bo kept away, and
mon with abundant eeourities in property, cn
torpriBO and character will bo left to the mercy
of thoso who, willing to risk tho chances _f
a legitimate business, will havo only tho more
abundant opportunity to prey upon their neces
sities.
It ia said, however, and the saying involves
everything in the nhapo of ?ti argument, that
if mon bo at liberty to pvy what they please for
money, they will ruin themselves. But is it the
office of tho Stato to protcot men from the
consequence"! of their own judgments in the way
of trndo ? Shall they make no bargains because
they may bo improvident? Shall the Stato issue
a declaration of minority, or a oommieoion of
lunacy, against all its peoplot Shall they be
allowed lo make no bargains of whioh tho Stato
may not approve? Is the Stato shrewder than
individuals in the management of thoir private
interest-? That is not tho preeept of exp?ri
ence Who has watched tho conduct of Stated
in the management of business enterprises will
bo constrained to confer that they are charac
terized by a "plentiful lack of wisdom;" and
there is soarco a measure intended to effect
material interest? that docs not ruin the miser
able victims of its benevolence. Or if it be not
the purpose of the Stato to issu? a general
commission of Incapacity, is there any reason
I why it should bo issued ia this special matter?
A
If men may ruin themselves by giving an ex
travagant price for money, may they not do so,
as well, by. giving an extravagant prico for
horses, mules, Molemente of trade, machinery,
lands and the likcV whiuh, for the wunt of the
money, they may be-compelled to buy on credit?
Or if it be true that some might ruin them
selves, is it not better that, they should take
their chances? Shall they be kept in leash for
fear they may do damage ?-allowed no
liberty of movement that they may not go
astray? Wo wanta community competent to
the responsibitics of self-direction ; and it were
better that half of every generation should
make shipwreck of.their fortunes, than thal all
should bo kept in that sts,lc of ?stagnation which
must result from the want of the liberty lo use
them.
Thcro in upon this ?ubjoct of money a strange
inability to net upon the precepts of common
experience and common sense. If it were
proposed that, inasmuch as our people are
poor, no one Bhall Bell them flour at more than $8
a barrel, or moat at moro that eight cent s a pound,
while thoy might bo in danger of starving with
out thom, it would be so unmistakably absurd
that no one with "discourse of reason" would
think of approving it. It would be evident to
any intelligence, Bhcrt of insanity, that no flour
will bo sold here at $8 a barrel which will cost
$15 elsewhere; that it shall be brought to us al
all, it can only bo brought at its original cost and
expenses; and If sold at all, in violation of pro
hibition, it will be sold only at costs and ex
penses, and an immense premium beyond, to
cover the risk of violating the law. The un
happy victims of such legislative favor3, there
fore, would in no solitary instance take advan
tage from the interference, but, on the contrary,
would pay for their commodities from one
fourth to one-half more than they would have
to pay without. If it would bo so with flour, so
is it also willi money. As a marketable com
modity, our people in many coses arc obliged to
have it. It will only come at its legitimate
value, where its ownerB can enforce their con
tracts entered into for its use; and our poor
peoplo have the right to ask of the Legislature
the charity of allowing them to take it al it?
worth. Wc heartily commend, IL rcforc, the
efforts of our townsmen who have taken the
matter in hand. They have no scifish interests
to advance ; they have no money to offer-, but
only ask tho liberty of buying it at ila real
value, and they aro too well instructed of their
interests to adm'.l a question that what they ask
is right.
WELL DONS roa T_t_ SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL
ROAD.-Wo arc glan to see, by the following
from tlic Sumter Watchman, that the South
Carolina Railroad Company has taken a step
in the right direction:
?'Wo are requested by Hon. II. T. TEAKE,
Superintendent of the South Carolina Railroad,
lo say that his line will carry cotton to New
York as oheap as any other route, and if neces
sary to do BO, will transport cotton over the
South Carolina Road freo of charge."
. ? ?
STAY LAW VITO IN MISSISSIPPI.-Governor
H.MPBRBYB, of Mississippi, in his recent mes
sage vetoing the Stay Law passed by the State
Legislature, takes the ground that the act is in
violation of the Slate and Federal Constitu
tions, which are claimed to be emphatic on Hie
point that no law shall be passed impairing the
obligation of a contract. In the act in ques
tion., a Btay is given to the debtor for the pay
ment of the debt extending over a period of
four years, and the Governor argues that if
this "power, thus to stay execution, exists in the
Legislature, ho can see no limitation to its exer
cise except in legislative discretion. If it.be
competent to slay execution during a period of
four years, it ia difficult to perceive what there
is to prevent an indefinito extension. The
Legislature postponed tho consideration of the
veto message till January noxt.
