BOOK' 2. Chapter X.
Moreover, it is of usury we now
speak; and to the long list of loans
must be added the longer list of un
satisfied judgments and delinquent tax
levies the world 6ver, all of which are
tearing usury. And since it is with
the quantity of usury, and not of
mounts loaned, that we are here con
cerned, if we add to the mountain al
ready enumerated, the vast difference
of rate of usury on the loans based
upon the needs of the poor, as com
pared with those of the borrowings for
business . or - speculative purposes, it
H least doubles that mountain. -
Nor is this all. In the final result,
it is the poor and helpless whose toil
.nd sweat pays the usury prom
ised by all those great mercantile,
manufacturing - and transportation
companies; for they fix the prices of
their products and their charges for
service so as to include the usury they
have promised, and it must finally be
paid by the dumb, defenseless consum
ers of the products and users of the
means of transportation.
It is a tribute paid by the poor to
the rich, and which is upheld and en
forced by statutes enacted for that
purpose.
But a more important and unanswer
able objection to permitting the tak
ing of usury than any of these, is
disclosed when we consider what it is
the lender lends, and the position in
v'hich secure "lending places the lender
is his relations to society and human
ity at large.
The usurer who lends incurs no
risks. He makes repayment certain.
What he lends is "coin." The life of
an American gold eagle is said to be
twenty years. But though the gold
eagle be worn and wasted, the lender
receives back a new one fresh from
the mint; for so it is nominated in
the bond. What he lends in the
"coin" or "tax receipt," and his con
tract calls not for the return of the
identical piece of metal, but of a "dol
lar" coined under such conditions as
give it power at the time of payment
to cancel, by- its tender, any tax levy
or judgment of an amount equal to
that expressed by it. The borrower
n ust stand the abrasion and wear of
use and pay usury besides.
Every element of risk or uncertain
ty to the lender is or may be elimi
natied.
While all men engaged in any useful
ocation must meet and grapple with
the unknown and uncertain, the us
urer alone, under the ages of unjust
laws and subservient courts, deals
with certainties. He sells nothing but
the resistless flight of time, for which
the borrower mint pay coin procure!
by the toil of his body or brain.
The usurer shifts the uncertainties
of life upon the shoulders of others,
and takes no chances in the battle.
Whatever changes may be wrought by
the movements of time, pass over
without effect upon the claim Of the
usurer.
The combined efforts of all the hu
man race are directed toward the bet
terment of human conditions. This
they accomplish by extending man's
dominion over nature and her forces.
Improved appliances and improved
methods in all departments of pro
ouction and distribution,te.nd to abund
ance and a lessening of the service or
power to serve required to obtain pos
session, in exchange, of needful things
endowed with power to perform ben
eficial service for. man. This means
that the effect of improved appliances
and methods in all departments of in
dustry is to reduee human "valuation"
of the force of demand for those
needful things.
It means a decrease in the intensity
of the force of demand for all those
things. It means a reduction of the
Quantity of human energy required
to be expended to obtain possession of
them.
This decrease of intensity of the
force of demand can only be expressed
in the "money" symbol. .
But the usurer's coin, " which he
lends, has the statutory "valuation"
of the degree of intensity of the force
of demand fixed by law and stamped
upon it in that money symbol, and the
process of cheapening, which acts
upon all other things, through cheap
er and more perfect methods of pro
duction and distribution, produces no
effect upon that coin.
The "valuation" of all commodities
must be expressed in the '"money"
symbol, and when so expressed it is
"price," and discloses a constant re
duction of that "valuation" in all
commodities, except '"cola."
But the usurer's commodity is un
affected by this cheapening process,
toward the attainment of which all
useful human effort is directed. Every
reduction in the quantity of human
energy required to be expended in or
der to obtain possession of needful
things, should be a distinct gain for
humanity. But the benefits which
should thus accrue, to mankind at
large, are all gathered in by the gojd
owning usurer, the "valuation," of
whose commodity is fixed and un
changeable, and submits to no cheap
ening. This would not be true, were it not
for the fact that tax levies and judg
ments can only be met by the tender
or coin, and thus the force of demand
lor coin is perpetually renewed at iU
fixed "price."
The more men struggle to make hu
man life easy, by cheaper and more
abundant products, the greater be
comes the relative power of the gold
owning usurer's coin as a means of
procuring possession of human prod
ucts. The more men succeed in reducing
the quantity of toil requisite to ob
tain possession of all needful things
except "coin" the greater the quantity
cf those things man must sacrifice to
the usurer to get possession of his
coin the only means of deliverance
from tax levies and judgments.
Thus the greater the strides man
kind makes toward abundance and
security in the production and distri
bution of all commodities needful for
human comfort, the further he recedes
from the enjoyment of that comfort.
The "valuation" of all commodities
endowed with utility, excepting coin,
is fixed by human appraisal and then
expressed in the "money" symbol;
which expression' is their "price." The
"valuation" of coin alone is fixed by
that statute the ' usurer procured to
be enacted and is expressed in the
same "money" symbol, which is the
:'price" of the coin; and at that price
alone can it be used to cancel tax
levies and judgments, which are uni
versal. Human efforts 'tending toward the
decreased valuation of all commodities
cannot affect the price of coin; so that
every step which seems to lead to
ward the betterment of human condi
tions, leads only to the betterment of
the condition of the gold-owning us
urers, while it makes ever more mis
erable the lot of the rest of mankind.
When his dollar, coined as va gift
to him, comes back to him after the
lapse of years with another dollar,
also coined as a gift, sticking to it as
usury, each of these dollars is a tax
paying and judgment-paying dollar of
the new time, to the , bringing of
vvhich, with its reduced cost of pro
cuction and cheaper products, its
greedy owner contributes nothing; and
yet through its ownership he com
mands as a master, at ever decreas
ing cost, all that the race without
him, and in spite of him has by toil
and self-sacrifice brought into being.
He' is a superfluity in the. world, yet
revertheless he reaps almost the en
tire reward of the laborious efforts of
mankind in dragging the race toward
a better future.
Every cheapening ' of the . cost and
every lessening of "prices", of . things
endowed with power to perform ben
eficial service, thus accrues, to his ex-r
elusive profit, though he had no part
in bringing it about. He constitutes
no part of the human family, and can
have no sympathy with its labors or
ts sufferings.
Lending at usury is. thus made" a
tempting occupation, and . everyone
who engages in it becomes separated
from his fellow, men and deprived of
till sympathy with humanity, and its
toil and sufferings.
