JUNE 21 1876 XotarMi and Usury Laws. r I "'ilw *x eotAitr" In the Charleston Jomr#ntof Commerce, writing serial It no thia subjeot, appears to oa to dircuw ? il rather loosely. lays down the fbllowtafr aoumt proposition, bnt manajj; aa to dednce from it tho fallacious con elusion that law should impose no re etnotions upon u?ury: Wbnww the wnnl* of roelcty create a <1e aund *?r any Nrtlele, whether hna?o? or mer riisndlM, either for eonnumptlon or ?pwnln ttve purfMMWM.the holitrr Is wtrr<nlo?i tn ?taking whnl#\tf price tne article will I'Hnr, ?lot eteeeillnr however, n rate which In fc?ro cnnaotrntlne. would l?c dermcd extortion. li 'akin* iiflvnntaffv of the n?o*w>tt{en of olhcrw. of course this In the aortptuml rule, by wMch we are all bound In our tmnmctlon: with c*rh other. 'With this qnallflcntlun wr know of no raUnUnt upon tho nuking nrlcc of nnjr article. whether money, or unythlnp subjectto n?e or barter. Now, in thia proposition there is noth ing to object to, except, perhaps, it? vaptcnMs. What is meant by 'extortion' in t}>W oobnecilon ? la It nut the tuk in^' advantage of the nec^sine* of an individual to trench from hint's hi$hci imtfc of usury than would otherwise k*i demanded ? And If* snob conddct to wards aa individuaUwouM be 'extortion'; would it,npi be the asms r towards a hundred individuals, or awhola people I ,"Not precisely." it may be answered., ?'for in the latter case the law of supply ind demand would come into pulpabh oporation. and in as much as the demaml Tor money Would far exooed tho supply, the rnte of usury would naturally and justly be varied." This wo concod<? within certain limita; but what is th< limit, whicti the rate of usury and the utmost exigency.of demand and ?uppl.\1 cannot rise above witl out beoominn 4,ex tortion ?** ti'is tho rat'rnf profit which may reasonably be expected from em ploying in busiuofs or industry, the money on which u?ury is exacted.? Usury may rise into "extortion* lnn<? be fore it reaches that limit. Under other circumstances it may closely approach that limit; but under mo circumstances run it excoed that limit without bcinir extortion^ This is so obvious that if needs no anrumont to sustain it. The rate of profit, tlwn, 'it 'he utmrmt poxxiht* limit of legitimate nmiry. l*ut how shull we ascertain the rate of profit ? By stn tiatics. The statistics toll us that the* j rate of profits on capital, ont) year with mother, orer the entire country, is but a fraction over three per ccnt. Allow -ifc>out double this and we shull have aereo per oent.. our old legal restriction rate ef usury, under which thcro was never taueh difficulty in borrowing mon ay on accommodating term* a? to time. i if the security *U good. As wc have had do tiling but "extortion" and extrav agaut usury shoe its repeal, why noC try the experiment of rcenactinR it for a few years? 'It can as-uredly not muko mat. tors any worse, and wc feci confident that it would act a* a p inneea. The ways in which the absence of legal restriction upon tho rate of usury operates to keep it up fur above the just standard are ninny and various. No commodity is so liable to tho man. ipulaiion of rin^s and cli<"|iios, as mon ey, and if "an ex.cashier" has been at tentive to the financial history of this country, ho can not but be awaro of the disastrous influence they ure constantly exerting over our interests through tliif means. Much of the money of the eouotry; moreover. In hid away in the tills of private lenders. Let us suppose that one of theso is called upon for a loan by ifpsrt^ who can offer undoubted security. His neighbor has just before, jj^rbsps, made a loan to.a party whoso security is not,goqd, and who, never in tending to pay principal or iuterest. am of coulee, promise an extravagant rate of usury. Our lender hns heard of tho rate without "being made acquainted with the ri?k of his neighbor's loan, and thinking It Unfair to offer him a less rafe of intent, ^h an his neighbor has obtaip e4? refuse" to lend at an equitable rata On good security, and either ke*>ps his mon ey locked- ufl, or lends it ns his nelirldHof eitmvagAnt promise, outy to lose it; tfhus bonest applicants for laatis being fiw the most pait n-jectod and the reek'ess for the inost part aceeptod, the rink of leuding is made to appear greater than It should be by these frequent fail uros to pay. and this, again, operates to raise the rate*. Many conscientious people, too, who hare money to lend, would not conscious ly commit so great a sin as "extortion," bat having never examined tho subject olosnly, thoy think what the law permits is right, and exoot whatever they onn get. To such, a legal restriction would roader a service by pointing out a limit which thoy would not doairo to transcend A ad what possible hsrm csn a legal re Strict ion on saury effect, if it is placed so high that there is no prohsbilhy of its being ex ?ceded without '?extortion ?"? Shall ws be told that it is MMMmmy, bees use the tew of *u)>pty snd denisnd will beep the rat* within this limit,? We have only to point to the fact that ever sine* the fwpesl of the nsory re striction the rate of usury has uniformly teen extortionate. Kvery lender who sxasts twelve, or even ten per cent, per annnra la an extortioner, if "extortion" consists, as we think it clearly does, in' exacting tnore for the dm of the money than the rate of net profit which csn be reasonably expected from ?'J employ ment Uie* matter of the highest oMMtrauwut lo the peopleyt every aba end moa bat especially to the poor aad mo jr. to ope* their eye# to tbia (nee aril of emmfara ua?ry. which in Mppiog til i Itfa-blood ld.I pjmllr g 1 ? t4du ? piea; and to demand ?>? sappr shou at I'l ? baoda of their legislator.* by t be en - actment of well cousidrrsd aod adequate reatriotite lawa, prohibitory aud penal. The Rapublloaxi Ifcmineoa and Platform. The Jfa-puUiaio convention at Cinoio cinnati has made a judicious nomination tor President iu the peraoo of Governor llayea, of Oh\o. Not only ia he the most! available, but ia our judgment, the best ol the proaiiaeut ui.-u ot t.i? party. IK parted the severe ordeal of the hardly contested Governor's election in O;?io last year, and emerged without the dis covery of a flaw in his character worth) of remembrance. He will therefore enter upon the Presidential canvass not ouly with eminent qualification* for the h'gh position to which he aspires, bui with an unspotted escutcheon. This i more than cau be said by the utmost stickler of charity, iu behalf of any of lib recent competitors. The New Kiiglamt prestigiateur, Blaine, even if houcst, is unfit to be President. The Very quali -ties which have made liim so successful iu the liouse of Representatives, iuipu~ deiico, impudence, IMi't'DKNCE, unfit him for the graver and higher position ot Chirf Magistrate; apart from his notori ous detection in flagruut dishonesty and corruptiou. Couklim; is uo better, 'flu uurulellism of Iiim and (irunt with Le jnnus aud Tiberius ia too close to have admitted of hii succession. Mr Secre iary Uristow is great on crooked tthis ?ey butoo n 'thing elae. Mr. Post:nas er Gcnerul Jewell in not ^reat on any thing, Govern ?r Hnrtianft of Pennsyl rauiu. is ditto, nr.d Mr. Oliver P. Mor ton, with hits bloody shirt, ia a copul mortittira and his party know it. Mr. Hayes, if electvd, will inaugurate a very liifc-reut Republicanism from that of tho past. While, therefore, he is the lust inan of his party whom we would have had uominuted, because he will be the hurdest to beat, he would havo been our first choice out of his purty if nominu tion must necessarily bo followed b) election. The nomination of Wheeler lor Vice President ia also a politic and judicious one. The platform is such as might have been expected from the well known an lecedeuts of the Republican party. It it a vote sein, madu as well us the ingenu ity of its makers could make it, to catch all sorts of voting fish, from the minima up to the ?whulu: Tho specious and plausible, yet vague, languugu in which its resolutions aro couched would justify the best, or authorite tho worst legisla tion which a patriotic, or on the other hand, in unscrupulous congress like the ^last, may chooso to indulge in.
