The undersigned exceedingly regrets that a subject of so much importance as the repea! or essential moJifca- tion of the prevent usury laws, should have been brought to the notice cf the committee at so late a pe- rod of the session, wren the multiplicity of engago- menta ond nuworous mattere of legiclation press #0 urgently upon the time of Sanators, rendering it almost ane to give it the investigation and scraciny hieb a question affecting so largely the public interests demands And it is op)3 from considerations of official duty which seem in this cise to require an adverse repert ia writing *o accompany & favorable majority report that has in- duced the undersigned to make the attempt upon a sudden emergency, and ina crude and unsatisfactory form. Indeed, & mere reference to the sound and enlightened views prcvcuted by Governor Clark in his insagural mes- rage, would sppear to be all that ia necessary to con- vinee uvprejuticed minds of a¢ leost the propriety of caution in favoring this new idea of free trade in money. He justly remarks, ‘ tbat if money ik to be made free, hould there not be equal treedom on the part of those excbange their labor, and the products of labor, for money! If an arbitrary value is given by law to coin and bank paper, why not alsé fix by law the standard value for labor, so that capital and labor may exict pe equality? If you invest money by legi-lation ith a power which, unrestricted, euablos capital to opprese labor, co you not, while eufranchising cap.tal, ensisve labor? Tf, then, money is to be relieved from legirlative resiraint, should it not alvo be divested of the power conferred by legislation” This is a {air atate- ment of the whole proposition. Meney is suptifor to every other rpecios of property, in that governme:t bas conferred vo such power upon apy other thing. The metal or coin may have an inten- value about eque! to that which has beea established he stondard given to it by governmen mahing it whot is termed moxey, that gives ita qua fication different from ony other kind of property. (Aimworth’s definition of the Latin word moneta, 1s the tamp or impiession on movey, which” anciently, w: the effigy of rome god or goddess that looking upon it they might be putin mind of the deity.) This standard or valuation is necessary for all the operations of com- merce between citizens of our own State and between foreign States, and without some cuch convenient and commoa mecium it is almost impossible to conjecture how the general commoree of the world could be carried cn. It is by this standard that men judge and cperate in every article of property, and therefore it seems to be the be ap preper fonction of government to see that it shovid be regulated and kept at » uniform aud con- je. the price of its use or the interest on money much to ¢o with establishing it ne as ths stamp which is given to it at the fat, it ia therefore that this should be fixed by firm and ri Jaw, 20 that ro improper advantage should be taken by any ‘of this general measure or currency which is in- tenced for the benefit of all. Money, from the peculiar value which is given to it by government, is indispensable to all; and Mr. Whipple, in bis able treatise on the importance of the uaury j Adel aseerts “thet no other article can be named which is indispeneable to the business of every man ;’’ conse- quently, in this particular, money is totally unlike any- thing else. It in also ualike all other commodities Me this, that there is no one article that is made the sub- ject of trade which every man has any occasion for ; on the contrary, relect eny one we please, and we sball ind that comparatively but few persons are in want of it. the variety of purszits aud occupations is almost as great as the,varietyof commodities ; each man wants only that in whieh he deals. Even provisions and clothing consirt of a great variety of kinds, and scarcely one can be elected which all men went, and no one is indispenrable, In case of a scarcity of ore, otbers will be substituted. Trix difference be- tween all other commodities and money is very material, for money being not only the subject of want, but in is ‘ble to wl! men, a scarcity ia felt by all men; like Ciseases of the blood, ft not only affects the heart ‘and the other vital orgene, but the remo'est extremities; no portion of the system can escope its contagious influ. ence. Usury laws bave been ip force in ancient and modern times in almoet all the civilized States of the world, and are now in use in every State in this Urion, with the excepticn of Californ a; the experiment bas been tried repeatedly, both at home and abrona, to dispenss with their ure, and it hae almost invariably resulted in ia- creasing the rate of interest or value, end in most in- starces to an extraordinary extent, as was the case of Wisconsin uncer the law of 1849, and as ia California at the presert time The fact that there laws are sometimes evaded is no sood reason against them; almost all kinds of laws are brokeo, and nctwithstanding this is pressed by every sort of an iMustration which the art of the capitalist ant lender can devise in favor of their modification ot repeal, it will in the end result in far more stringent meaaures be ing nd by to prevent the grasping hands of the greedy end avaricio Another specious argument used by the applicants for the modifiention of these laws is that the borrower de. rire it, beeause he believes it will make money cheaper and more pl-nty; there is nothing in these laws to pre- ven! money beirg cheaper th a fhe ateastara rate, bat only to prevent its being dear it in preposterous to believe if the borrower paid more he could get more to ure, because invariably when it beara the highest price it is the mest difficult to be obtained. This argument ‘s (oo weak an Invention “to pase cntrent as an accusation’ against these laws; sevea per cent per onnom {s as puch as can be profitably paid ex- copt in exireme instances; payiog more would soon put all into the hands of the’ lender, without the ability of the borrower to borrow orto pay. + ‘The barks are the prine!pel lenders of money in this country; they are composed of a far and respectable portion of the community. As corporations they have certain advamteges conferred upon them, which private individuals do not posrers; in consideration of whieh, it bas been deemec right that t should be restricted in the nies of ae coae ey may receive, and the notes ma e upon the secarity de the State. There feems to be no pam gy og why, if the usury Jaws were should be excepted. ‘They contain in a considerable degree the aggregate capital of dagerrmt lavatities, awd ghey wwe ia gany re. twof t public bemefit and accommodation; they mpacte pt great i ita whic it facilities in the inf into any tsi certain kinds of | It is va Ba of loans PA A pee By on bonds and mortgages oe one by bash, od other be may ies bargain between es, Capital as finds its best bidder as water oseks (fe oquill- ae hare it com- Ie highest price according to the fesui mands t 06 ing eurity. If the brief positions here advanced are sound, it cer- tainly will be an error to present laws upon this eubject Altnough m: the cupidity of their hearta do sometimes violate them, who can show an instance of the usurtr or extortioner being of any great benefit to the community in which he lives; his morey is of no advantage, except in the hands of the producer, and he should be held strictly ‘to his pound of flesh with nct a drep of blood.’ It is unquertionatly true that men differ in their op'n- ions upon tbis subject, and it would not be right to im. pute bad motives to all those who desire to obtain all they can for their morey. The lenting of money is ne cessary, and those who by G: nce or otherwise have secured a surplus to lend, my) s honorable ani pure as any otter class of men; buf the great supremacy and advantege which the lenders hat who are the few, EY, shou roughly protecte’ 0) Passions which the strong desire of gain implanted in the human breast so frequently discovers. There is a per system of checks and balances ne- ceseary in all the operations of government, and it is quite questoneble whethsr it is judisious to Feguiate much further for the becefit of the capitalist to the de- triment of the middling and laboring classes, There is aleady sufficisnt prejudice between the rich end poor, and quite sufficient agrarian tendency in all the lower clarses. Our institutions profess to be democratic; us keep them 8o ix fact as well asin Depa cy property, instead of accumulating in the hands of afew, may be fairly disseminate’ amongst all the industrioas and the thrity, and so that alles far as possible may enjoy a fair competence in this favored republic. Thus shall we strengthen it in every way, by giving a large number aa immediate interest in its’ welfare, and by also giving them the means to obtain a better civil and relizious education. EN. PRATT. Our Iowa Correspondence. Fowr pas Mores, Iowa, March 9, 1855. The New State Capital—Look out for the Speculators— Navigation of the Des Moines River—Splendid Prospect on Paper—Em/gration, &c. I bave been long enough in this section to be tolerably well acqua‘nted with the policy of its government and the capability and resources of the State. As I propose making it my permanent residence, I feel deeply in- terested in its progress. I believe there is sufficient New York capital invested here to make any thing con” cerning the place interesting to you, and so I intend to trench olightly upon your time with some facts upon the way they marage things in this quarter, The Des Mcines river runs from the northwestern to the southeastern corner of the State, in what a Yankeo would call a slantindicular direction, and waters a country ccztaining irexhaustible mineral wealth, and an exceedingly fertile coil, The place from which I write, and to which the State capital has been recently rewoved, is a thriving village of about three thousand ivhabitarts, situated about two hundred miles from the mouth of the Des Moines. Some idea of the inexhausti- bie water power upon the river may be had from the fact, that duricg the excessive drought last summer, while nearly all the weatern rivers failed, the depth of water in this was but little lessened. Some few years since the State un2ertogk to improve the navigaton of the river, for which pufpose the United States gcvorn- ment bad previously granted « million and» hali acres of the finest land inthe State. Three locks acd dams were made, which are now in use, conriderable plunter taken somehow or some where, ® knot of enterprisiog New York capi- talirls contrived te persuade the Legislature tust they could carry on the work to better adventage than the ‘commissioners already ap- poin‘ed, and that the aforesaid capitalists being pos- reared cf that epirit of philenthropy characteristic of their tribe, would talg the trifling amount of lands ani franch'ses connected therewith, do the work and po:ket the ir mense Joss which would follow. Consequently the Legislature ordered ths comcissioners to make the desired contract, which they did. The New Yorkers ound themselves to complete two huucred and four miles 0! the pavigation ia a specified time, for which they were only to receive the tells au franchises for seventy-five years. All the iminenze water power and lands the Ia‘ter estimated by com: etent judges to be worth ten million dollers—a triflicg remuneration not worth talairg avout. After the thing was done, the cat was let out of the sack where she had beea carofully ep. Then it was diseoverei that the water po alore was worth the whole cost of the locks and dama; that the trade to Counzil Bluffe, already competes with that by way of the Mis'ouri, even in the present imper fact late of the work, though go's have to be ragoned over from this place; and that the cunning o wko kerp the stock ovt of the market, and share go to soy but their own set, (at allevents in Jowa,) will make an enormous profit out of credulous ang goo! natured Iowa It was noted, too, that none of the directors came from Io it also appears wow hat your ex Governor Seymeur, largely intereste’ in vhe talf-breed Purchase, in this State, been elec’ a trustes, and fs to share in the pickings. It is trae that the State will be beuefited by the rapid develop ment of ber resources, and it in also trae that tie pre- vious wansgement was wasteful; Lat the former woull have been received had the work been completed unter her ovn management; and as to the Last, the officers coutc have ben replaced by otters No special argumen’ will entisfy the people here now thet the property of the State has not been sacrifived. To give away ten millions in valuable lands, a water power ci great value anywhere, but here most inealeu- lave, and the (olis and management of the whol line for seventy-ive years, merely to do what a couple of mil- Tore would easily accomplished, is a policy so sui- @d1] teat i$admits of mo detence. However, the thing | is cone the contr«ct is made, and all we lave to dois to at down end grin savageby, while the acute capitalists ot New York grow on lowa pickings.

Ships going cut of the channel to enter the North Sea, take their course upon a line of navigation passing at nearly an equal distanse between the mouths of the ‘Thames and the Scheldt. The entrance of this latter river is guarded by the famous Isles of Zealand,formenly the cradle of those bold navigators who contributed so higbly both to found the independence of Holland, and toabate the Spanish power by their valiant maritime expeditions to all parts of the globe. At the southero ex'remity of one of these islands, which bears the name of Waleheren, is situated the port of Flushing, at the very limits of the waters of the North Sea and those of the river, This town, which, with its harbor, appears to project into the sca, now shows the statue of the cele- trated Admiral De Ruyter, who so often led his victori- ous fleets to encounter the enemy through the deep and large chanrels forming the entrance to the Scheldt. Flusting was at that time a port of the greatest com- mercial importance, the same as Middelburg, also situ- ated in the Isle of Walcheren, and communicating by a canal with the # In thst time of maritime war and piracy of all binds, the position of these ports was ex tremely exposes, and required for their defence the help of numerous cruisers; but such was the flourishing con- dition of those towns, that in the t.me of their greatest prosperity they could arm at their own expense, for the henetit of their commerce, more than reventy-five ships of war. Later, the Port of Flusbiog was relinquished. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Antwerp, situated in the intericr of the land, absorbed the commercial movement, as there ports were placed at the points where the river navigation commences, by which then all the expedi- tions of merchandise towards the interior of the conti- nent were made. Flushing and Middelburg, situated upon the isles, were so separated from the movement, ‘and lort their importance. A revolution bas actually taken | aed in the convey- ance of merebandise and travellers towards the interior. ‘The railroacs Jead everywhere to the ports nearest she taking there the yoods, the maritime navigation ier directly, without losing time ia remounting the | arouths of the ri It was imposrible but that the port the best situated of all thoee which opened into the North Sea, should par- ticipate in this measure. Since some years ns. Bre et had been formed to construct a railway, to from the port of Flushing, traverse the Isles of Zealand and the waters which separate them, and proceeding direct]; towards the Rhine, to join there a net of German rail- ways. Potitica! circumstances have as yet proved an obstacle to the execution of this project. At present maturely Celiderated, it is on the point of being put into execu- tion by a company of capitalists, who have obtained the concession from the government of the Netherlands. We feel ourselves bound to call the atteation o¢ our fel- low-citizene to this circumatance, for it is certain that the United States navigation will be able to draw the greatest advantages from the sitnation of the port of Flushing, united to Central Europe by the railway which in about being constructed. In fact, thls port, accossi- dle at all times, in the roughest winters as well as in summer, and copable of taking the greatest develope- mexts, will facilitate eminently the correspondeuce, in dispersing with the ships remounting the Scheldt, or entering into the North Sea, whose navigation is so often éangersus How maay'of the ships destined to Antwerp are obliged to harbor hepa F more or loss time at Flushing, to wait for the favorabte time to retrace the river! How many ships are obligea to winter there ee eral months to wait for the river being free from ice ! There can be no doubt that Flushing, united by the railway to the Europexn Continent, will become the seat of many German houses of commerce, which transact business with us, and with the other countries of our continent.

Those, however, who are bold enough to navigate them must ‘‘balance all,’ or else what is up willcome down with a jerk to it.
