WV. COLUMBIA LETTISH.
(Knoll or? SPECIAL coitUESr?Nr.F.NT.]
COLUMIIIA, December in.-in thc Sonate to-day. the
discussion of Hie bill t-> repeal Ibu n-ury laws was be?
gun. Mr. Bunt opened In favor of (bc repeal, and was.
aided by Mr. TtMMAX, tho Senatorfrom Eilgeficld. Mr.
SCLLIVAN :.nd General KEESBAW were in the ranea of
thc opposition, Ii has been, for some years, n mystery
to your correspondent how any man could deny the !
sim'ploproposition thu irado requires no legislation, I
but, on the contrary, is far better regulated by the law j
of simply and demand. The expression of the French
' merchants, Sire laitiesntm*faire, let us mind our own i
business without any assistance, bolds as well with rc-1
I gard t-> tmld ns to any other article nf trade. Tho advo.
i cate of the usury laws sa.? s (hat Hie proposition is true ?
i with regard to otborotijccls of commerce: bni ?o?d bas :
not in itself a Taine, its value j; fixed by law, aun tim I
? same law which fixes tiie value can fix the interest or
I price of the use of this represen tatlve of values. 1 he re
i ply is simple; and would scorn in suggest Itself to the
; linmblestit^derstaudluK. Gold is the rcprc* n tat ?ve ol
raines, bul it has in ?t-.-lf n vain*. The cost of prodnc- !
Hon, the supply-end drnuind. eil i nter into Hu cal ' .

vSIne of oilier pradnets, since thc discovery ol Ame ii?,
and the further ib'crcisi ?nee thc minns nf falito ula !
have bien worked. Tine, Government fists tile nomi- I
nal value of money as it Axes weights ami measures: bul I
it no more pretends to nay whats dollar shall buy than !
it pretends to say what a yard, of cloth shall cost. "
Driven from this position,-which, ii he ? n mu? capa?
ble of'reasoning, he feels xs bo untenable, he says thc
debtor should bc protected. True! Ilia Jaw should
i proie.-t thc debtor, bul so, loo, should it protect the
creditor-md lu not fahr dealing with the creditor Ute
best protection of the debtor? Two things enter into j
tho oonsMa ation of the value of an article-the cost of
production or actual value, and thc supply and de:uand.
In thu loan or temporary sale of money, the ri d: nr in?
surance, os well ns the value of ?he use. eider into the
calculation. lu an open market, without usury law;:. |
the moment that money roaches a price that i.-; higher !
than usual, gold will How in, andLita value will be re?
duced! hut. iii a market ill which the usury laws are of I
force, competition j? shut out by the law. and the viola- :
Hon of the law must not only have tho value of thc i
money, caused by its scarcity through tho absein? of
competition, and the risk .har it may b.> los?, bu! also
thc insurance on Ute risk which lie" incur:; in violating
tho law. An open marke: will always bring chca|i goods.
Thin proposition being equally true with regard lo i:oi.l
as with regard to any ?Ute; com ? o-.lity, it is to he wish- 1
cit that it may be placed on exactly tho same footing :;s I
is every other article of merchandise.
The most interesting mattc_r in tho Ilonse was the J
discussion of Ol. Wagoner's bill to foster emigration, j
Mr. Warle?- said that he was not specially lu favor of ?
Gormans. Jfe did not can) to nen them here, beexusebe
had cen them elsewhere. When ho waa a prisoner,
Cien. Seymour s.:id to Mm, "We will whip yoi:, because
we have all Germany from which to enlist." They lad
fought us and whipped US. There wore some of that
nation on tills Roof who had fought side by side with
and he loved and honored them as brothers, nm!
vi ^??udost en omium that ne would ask would be to
--^_^jd that he had done as well as two that ho ?aw
k i
I 1 t replied b) ono of the ablest speeches that
I .fd during tho session. He said that he did
