'.Possibly the most 'damagig law that has
- been enacted by the law making power of
. North Carolina was the passage of the six
per cent Interest law 'by the legislature of
1 1895. The law, it will be conceded., Isihe
worst law, which affects most injuriously
: the greatest number of people who&ali with
' in the legitimate "scope of its operation.
v . , " i '
Tihese oroDositions will be maintalnedV.ifi.lt
is shown.
5 V
" First; Thai lie law was -. intended; to
benefit, at least, 95 per centtof the inhabit
iants of the state.
. Second, That every man; for whose bene
. fit the law was intended has been greatly
injured. ; ' ' V '
Third. That a very large per cent, of that
class "have been finally ruined. r
Fourth, That that class": (less than 5 per.
cent of the' people) against whom the 'law
I was. in tendta. to operate has ;? gained! : by
that' law, "all 'the advantages, which ;"the
larsre -class hats lost. , '
' , ;Now the proof: 1st.-, It ';was " claimed
by those politicians who , advocated the
passage of this law," that a very small per
-cent of the people were devouring, the poor
men who had ' to borrow money and go in
debt, by charging' them. 8 per -cent ifhe
rate then allowed Iby law, and that io
.per cent woujd ireljeve that large oppressed
.class from the ravages of that small .de
Trouring class. ; Will the advocates pf the
Jaw, deny -this- assertion? .Ifjso, why vdid
they pass the law? S , s
2. Has any man been able to get money j
at a lower rate, since the passage of this
law than he" had to pay before .ita enac-
ment? j-Have not hundreds and, thousands
of that class been forced, to- pay twice,
three times and often, five times as much
'funder the old? . : j, - ,.- .
t - This question must : be answered ainr
matively hy every man who has ? been ,
forced to get; not borrow money from: the j
.aforesaid devouring class. If any man de-
nies this,' offer him a mortgage on 'your
'? property, and ask him to lend you money i
to the. amount of . one-half the .value of the j
' inujivn;, uivi keaavi, r, , i
-taxes, at 6 per cent and . if he says that he :
- has not ,the money v then offer to pay him .
a 'commission of 6 per cent, to find you
aan who. will take 4 the mortgage and,
furnish the -money at 6 per-cent, and see
if you can1 get "it. "If you are a poor man,
for whom the law was passed, and have no
land, offer him a mortgage on your per
sonal property;- ask for one-third its 'value
and offer the patriotic advocate of the- new.
io, mniipv ' and e 'if he can find it. for
: you. ; If you are solvent, offetf. h4m your
note hearing 6 per cent-Interest endorsed
by your solvent friend, and. have-him go'
to tne man or wan, ma ioa-uTTurwu:",
at 8 per cent under, the old law, and see
il 'ne can sen it, sui b wkwiuw .'um . huv
-.your money cost you less than from .10 to
20 "per cenf (Demagogy, gets, votes, but
it takes logic to get money.) Then, ' if
- this fails or succeeds with dificulty, we
have- the assistance of all"-the eloquence,'
- logic and argument of the advoctes of the
new. law to prove that the' whole body
politic of the state; save only the devour-
- ing class, haa been -greatly injured by It;
for did they hot- tell the people that-, the
money lenders under.-the old 'law- .were
- bank-rupting - the people and running title
'state? - 1 , - ' '
. Z. That a very large per cent!-pf that
class, that the new law unaertooK -to save
have -been finally ruined, needs no" further
proof than can be found upon the recorda
at every court house" inthe stated .Find
the mortgages that have'heen foreclosed
by s,ale of the property ofgood men at the
court'' house door at, less than one-half,
often le&jjthan one-.fourth its value, - and
ask'the poor sufferer why, he did not. bor
row .money and. save his property for 'ad
vantageous private" dale; tandhear him tell
. you how he triedrto borrow money, offer
ing any rate of interest, with unquestion-
- ab Le secerity, and how his neighbors off er-
ed to' assist him to get the money if he
could find it, and how he finally failed a-nd
lost -all; hot for the want of ecuritj, hut
because the law bad driven all the fcreign
capital out of the state, leaving the home
capital with more work to .. do than it
. couldDOsibly' nerform: and how his re-
v presentative, under the preitense of saving'

crops, his land and his borne; and deliver
ed them over to that devouring class whom
he so loudly denounced upon tne stump.
4. That; thatclass, lesj 'than 5 per cent.
f the people against whom $ the law was
- fil the advantages-'Which the -large class
have 'lost is self fvndent to every man of
the slightest common knowledge and gen
ai information. This proposition will not
be , denied hy a man. who thinks, to a. man
whom IIC THINKS thinks.
, Go to the register of deeds of your coun
: ty and ask him to examine the records of
mortgages and give you a list of the men
in your county to whom 'building -a.nd loan
essociations from other states have loaned
- money at 6, 7, and 8 per cent; then see 'the
V3r?t -amount of money put out in your
county by The British and American Mort
- gage -company, The Equitable , Mortgage
company, and. all the other: companies,
firms and men living out of tie state, in
IS 94, even up to March, 18S3, when the
' new law went into effect, and compare the
total foreign capital loaned in your county
. with home capital, and., see which is the
greatest, then .examine 'crrsfully and e:s
if you find that every ccmpxry nl every
man' catsida cf th? state, -en ;h3 J;.y c

North Caroli-a,, where thsy-rc-ain to thia
good ay, returniEgtnly to collect their
money as fa.st as it fall3 due, .which- i3
quietly, but surely with, drawing from our
.people every year hundreds of thousands
of dollars, , and returning none. This,
owing to the fact that the debtor must
borrow at home, to pay abroad, is taking
all completion and restraint out of the way
of home capital, which is not half -enough
to supply the demand, gives 'the small 'claiss
an advantage better than e Klondike, and
puts the large class, intended (?) to "he
protected, at the mercy and within the
power of those men whom our wise ( ?)
law makers aid were trying to devour
them.
. The law was made to prevent men from
loaning money at more than 6 per, cent,
but its effect is the same as if It had been
passed to prevent men from loaning
money at anyrate. If it is shown that
tnen do not loan , money at 6 per cent or
less, -tnisx proposition' win ne estaDiisned.
It' Is affirmed that they: do not, end all

where a single man ha gotten money from
a -single member of that small devouring
class that did not cost that man more than

Hundreds end thousands of poor. men,
heretofore well-to-do citizens with their
dear r wives and helpless children, ,-made
homeless and destitute ,hy 1 this monstrous
abortion, are crying -. out; in melancholy
voieei3 for a reason for .their destruction
at the hands of their-representatives. ; "; '
- Some may wish to know why this law
has "driven out foreign capital end made
money scarcer JLn North Carolina ' than ; in
any : other state.- The answer is,: .that - a
man in London or New York will not" come
to -North Carolina and lend out h4s. money
at 6 per "cent; when he can go-. to ; other
states; Just-es good and get 7 or 8 per cent
under the-- law. " Would you? Others may
ask, why that gentlemen from; Lohdon - or
New York will not come to North .Carolina"
and beat around 4the law. ea. the Aome man
does, and get, as they are now doing, from
10 to 100 per cent The answer is, that
foreign capital ds timid'and will not seek
e field in- which to violate the law; and
risk the people in a strange land to stand
by'their contract and :not' plead usury,
when by 'rgoing' to some other-state,: they
could lend all their money, at a satisfac
tory interest and take no risk, hut what
ever -the reason may he; those who were
here ARE GONE end none have come to
tji.V their nlflf'Asr''. .To illnstria to t'ho. ifllffptr-
ence dn present and past conditions, and, to
prove the igeneril 'propasition3 ibef ore laid
down.. I will eive some fisrures. In 1893
hand 1894 the British end American Mort
gage company loaned, out thousands ? end
thousands of dollars,! North Carolina to
the farmers et 7 percent on 5 years' time;
end in ' 1895, within 'the last 30 days before
the new. law went into effect, they loaned
to some of the best farmers of Henderson:
county thousands of dollars and since the
day the law took: effect, " they heve not
loaned' e single cent in eaid county: this
same thing is ;true, comparatively, in el
most' every county, in the state. In April,
1895 there were iena of thousands of dol
lars loaned out in Henderson county et 6,
T and' 8 per cent' (The writer can give
the names of parties) since April,' 1895,' it
is safe to say 1 that. v no men; have borrowed
money at less than 12, 15, 25 and 100 per
cent-; In 1895, a well-to-do farmer In.sald
county, whose name can be given, "borrow
ed from the- Bri tish end American Mort
gage company 800.00 et 7 per cent inter-:
est in 1897, the &me gentlemen . was
forced to borrow. $150J0 end on his note
endorsed- by four men, one of whom, was
worth all of $15000.00. ' Wth :this (security
he. got the money; hut.it cost him 90 per
cent In '1895 another , men . with- a good
farm -on the French Broad river , in Hen
derson county was carrying a loan -with the
said company for ; $302.00 at 7 per cent in
terest In December, 1897 this man being
unable to., find money which he could bor
row, saw Ms land worth .three-time' the
amount of the "mortgage . advertised ' for
sale. which . mortgage, by, this time with
interest, costs end commissions had! run
up ,to$450.QD sand. if ter trying, I with, re
markable energy: the town' and county in
cluding his friends end ell the aforesaid
devouring clas-s, , he, found the moneyi end
saved his place. He got .-$450.00 no more
no less, but he finds his place now with
a- new mortgage resting upon it to secure
e note- of $591.00.? This note i- due Ini
twelye months from date,; so that . this
money cost him' some thing over SI per cent;
per annum; It can 'be shown that tho per
cent which men have .to-;' pay for money
where transactions ere -small and-the time
short, will 4n a great majority of the casesi
exceed the rate given in the last instance,'
end in e very large per cent of the cases,
approximate 100 per cent , - '
. If there is a wrong here, with whom does
the fault lie? , Is it with the jnan who sells
his goods in the -market to' the man who
makes -the hest.bid? (Surely not) - Is iti
with that man, or that set. of men who
through Ignorance 'or vice have made such
prices possible? 1 ' - . - ' (

be an egregious failure, : It is not folly to

to the unfortunate- citizens that' ere al
