It seems that the usurer is still on
the wing and that a great many of the
farmers and others are being hood
winked into making loans of that char
acter. The unholy business of bonus
taking and usurious rates of interest
has about run its race in this county,
and wclljt may. The time has come
when a halt should lie made and the
business of bonus taking placed in the
categoiy of other criminal transactions
It is unjust to the farmer, or any other
man to be blood sucked in that man
ner, and the man who makes the loan
should think twice before placing him
self in an attitude to be sn allowed up
in a vortex of financial rum. It is in
deed alarming, the hold tie money
sharks have upon a class of our citi
zens. Takinjj usury is a crime and an
absolute violation ot our statutes, and
punishable in a manner that would
not be very wholesome to thoe who
arc cngagetl in the business should
some of the borrowers make a kick in
the right direction. Our farming
classes should not be ruined to gratify
the greed for wealth of a few men who
are aiming to get rich at the poor
man's expense. Let there be a decis
ive halt in borrowing money, and it
will not be long before the men of
means will come down off their high
horses and loan money at honest rates.
