THE VISCItY QIIESTION. ,
(Continuid from Frat
the reign of . Henry the Eighth, , the
rates were established at ten per cent.
They were . reduced from' time to time
until the reign . .of Anne, when they
were established at five percent., and
remained at this until the usury laws
were repealed.
e During all ,this period of stringent
usury laws the prevailing rates *ere
four and five per cent. I have already
iihown; by good authority, that since
their repeal the average rate paid has
been more than doubled:
- In Efindoostan, free, trade in money
prevails, and the rate of interest is
from ten to forty per cent.., probably
the average does not varymuch from
twenty :aer cent:, China is also with
out-law to limit,the rate of interest,
and it is very ;high, varying -from
twelve to thirty-sixper cent. Those
that are rich and have influence with
the government can' borrow at com
paratively low rates, but the mid
dling class; thd trade men and me
chanies .and manufacturers pay a
• very high rate. The same results
follow here 'as elsewhere when this
ruinous policy prevails; the profit of
labor and industry arid skill mostly
• findsits way into the pockets ofithe

Po those opposed to stringent usu
ry laws find anything in this brief.

questibn, that from this day she
ceases_ to be a. country of prosperity;
impereeptibly it maybe for a time,,
but the effect of its . withering curs
is sure to come sooner or later: Anil
here I wish to refer the House to a
very short quotation from Surgat,
one of the e most eminent economists
- that Europe has produced.- He Says:
"We may regard the rate of inter
.est as a sort"of level, belOw which all
labOr„ all cultivation, all manufact
ure and all commerce* cease. • I lt is ,
like a sea spread over a great cpuntry
of which the mountain summits rise
above the •katers, forming 14,..Ai1e and

abundance of capital that animates
to effort; and the. low rate - of inter
eat is at once the effect and indica
tions of that abundance."
Before closing what I have to - say,
I wish to call to the attgtion of the
' House to two more learned and emi
nent witnesses: The first is "The ven
erable-and learned commentator up
on American law, the late Chancellor
Kent, in a.very lucid opinion, which
he gave in 4 usury case then before

which is given, in a previous chapter
after examining the subject at con
siderable length and referring td the
history of. the laws• against usury,
from the earliest periods, asks: j' Cann .
we suppose that,a principle of moral
_ restraint of such tiniform and univer-,
sal.adfiption has no good sense in it?
. Is it altogether the result of monkish
prejudice? Ought- we not . rather to
conclude that the*prpvision is adopt
ed.to the necessities and the, wants
of our species, and grows out of tilt
* natnr.al. infirmity of men, and the
temptati in to abuse -inherent and
pecuniar • loans?' Ile then proceeds:
'The question of -interest arises con
stantly: and intrudes itslf into almost

cupidity for gain and sensibly effects

(1 Sch. Lef.:3l-2)• many years '
•after Jeremy Bentham, to whom the
learned,equnsel referred 'for an able
defense ; of usury, hail first published
his letters ,
that the 'statute of usury
was.,founder(ou great -principles- of - 151'11)1k! policy. It was intended,.
be said to protect distressed men by
facilitating the means of procuring
money on reasonable terms, and by
refu . sincr to men who sit idle as high
f
aate of' interest; without hazard, as
those can procure who employ money
in hazardous undertaking, on trade
and manufactures. I trust that theo
retic reformers have not attained on
this subjectany decided victory over
.public opinion. Mr. Bentham con
tends that we ought not so much as
to wish to:see the spirit of the project
. in anv degree repressed. It may be so;
but I hope I may be • permitted to
wish that the first experiments bf his,
projects may not . be made within/
these walls.- The statute of usury is
Constantly interposing its warning
. voice between the creditor and the
debtor, and teaches a lesson of mod
eration to the mit, and offers, its pro
tecting arm to the other. I am not
• willing towithdraw'such a-sentinel. I
hap been called to witness, -in- the
course of my official life, too many

Mr. Chairman, I have but little to
add to the historical -facts 1 hive
'brought to your notice, supported by
the opinions of eminent writers and
jurists upon this rynestion—supNrt
cd by,Scriliture,,the foundation of all
law. The'citizen of Zion was to be
one who "puttetli not out his money :
at usury."
In the law written for Israel by ,
the finger of Almighty God is the
injunction : " I yolk lend money to
any of my people that is poor by the.
law, thou shalt not be to him as an
usurer, neither .shalt thou lay upon
him usury."' And the New Testa
ment, covering-all law. and spanning
the moral heavens as. a rainbow of
promise, declares : "Do unto others
as ye would\that they 'should do un
to yon." I commend these Chris
tian injunctions to my Christian
friends, if any tliele be that intend
to vote against this bill. I must re

ONE of the best modes of improving in
the art of thinking is to think over some
subject before you read it, and then to
observe after what manner it • has occur
red to the mind of some great master.
You will then observe whether you have .
been too rash or too timid, what you have
o cecded, and by this process you will in--
sensibly catch a great manner of viewing
a question. It is right in study, and only
to thinklvhenever any, extraordinary in
cident provokes you.to Think, but from
time to One what has ipai3sed ; to dwell
upon it, and see what trains of, thought
voluntarily present themselves to the
mind.
It is . a most snperion,habit .of some
wends to refer all the particular truths
w rich stn e them to other . truth more
get eral, so that their knowledge is beau
tiful v methodized ; and the general truth
tat .an time suggests all the particular ex
'emplifi tions, or any particular
ezempli
tication a once leads to the genei-al truth.
. This kind f understanding has an im
mense and decided superiority over those
confused heads in - which one fact is. piled
upon another without. Om least attempt
,at classification and arrangement.
Some men always read with a pen in
their hand, and conibrit to paper any new
thought which strikes them-; others trust
to chance for its re-appearance. Which,
of these is the best method of the under
standing must, I sn vpose, depend a great
deal upon the pectin 3r understanding in

• One of the grandest principles is to put
in practice what is learned.
Everything that exists, is designed to
aid in developing and perfecting birth
body and mind ; the universe is oni. school

- FIRST TER3l.—Thoso whose first efforts
at teaching will fawn be made should re
solve to win success. There is no need of,
no necessity for failure. Be . earnekt,
be vigilant, be discreet, be conSciontious
in the. discharge of every duty.
During yourfirst term you can afford

and means to attain the greatest success

IT is the duty of the instructors of youth
to be patient with the dull, and steady
with the forward—to encourage the timid,
and repress the insolent—fully to employ
the minds of pupils without burdening
them—to awalten their fear, without ea
