Hi " The propriety of altering the law, so as to make interest the subject of contract up, to eight per cent:,' has been extensively discussed, receutly, in this" State J has many zea Tlie proposed change bus advocates, who sup port it with earnestness and ingenuity. It is urged tliat this increased rate of interest would retain capital within the limits of 6ur own State. It is also argued, that instead of acting oppres- Isively upon the debtor cUss 6f the community, it would increase the fa cility of borrowing, and enable them to procure money at a less price than at present. If these two propositions be correct, the proposed amendment is a good one and our legislators can not adopt it! any too soon. Xet us examine them. ' In South Carolina, and most of the States j south of. this perhaps in all legal interest is at' a higher! figure than six per cent. Hence it is said our money-holders go there to seek investments for their capital. It is unquestionably true, that transactions of this kind have taken place!.,. 'It is also true, hbwever, that the! paper circulating njedium in the Southern States,! is abundantly sufficient to answer, all their purposes; and that the Iriends of any enterprize! which commands the confidence of resident capitalists at home, need not conic here or go anywhfere else to seek :pecuni-1 O Vl O V J 1 . rV, i k It 1 A - t ary aid.

To those who en- ' OT1g5. indeed, who would lend his aid tertaln this view, we would simply ; to the passage of any such bill; and, say, there is no law now existing in , in this lasf point of view, it seems to the State of North Carolina prohibit- us, all the merits of the subject are ing a man fi'bm lending his money at' as small a mte as he chooses.! The fact is, - we have no industrial occupation in this country, which can justify a man in giving more than six per cent, tor the use of. money, and we think that, of itself; constitutes a 'k 1o r.T.klr fi- t . ! . ! i . j that as the maximum rate.
