''In every instance which wc ' have 1 ever

a cover to fraud, or as a . .cloak.to , actual
dishonesty. No poor man sorely pinched

; f'He may negotiate a whole drswerful of I

but his friend who lends him the sum he
needs at a fraction oyer, seven per cent. 6n
his own personal promise.may be, cheated,
out of the whole of it, and be seat to the
State prison besides for his kindness. The
'Shylock,' who shaves his good securities at
two per cent, a month, runs no risk, but his
neighbor who lends him;at eight, percent.
Eer annum on his own - word 'of honor is
able to lose his money and be punished as
