SCARCITY OF CAPITAL INSTITU
TIONS OF CREDIT.
Os the two great elements ot production,
capital and labor, the scarcity of the former
is the principal impediment to the restoration
of the prosperity of the South. The rava
ges of war have left it with very little of the
material of wealth. In the leading depart
ment of its industry—its agriculture, the de
struction of stock, of implements of cultiva
tion, and of all. agricultural appliances, has
been for the short period that armies have
occupied its soil almost without parallel.
The presence of capital by which the waste
of war may be replenished cannot be expect
ed among us until credit and confidence are
restored.
The declamation against the use of credit
appears to us most absurd as an instrument
of production. Labor may be obtained by
immigration should the system of free labor
fail to supply it iu due proportion to capital,
but bow ip this to be obtained ? Similar evils
require similar modes of treatment. /The
historical analogy is striking between the con
dition of the South, and many portions of
Germany, particularly Silesia, after the seven
years war. That country had been devasta
ted by contending armies. Its agricultural
capital had been wasted. The remedy was
simple and effectual. It consisted of Insti
tutions of Credit, organized under the name
of Credits Fonder. The following account of
them is copied from “Tooke’s History of
Prices, ’vol. 6, page 96.
/‘The earliest example of an institution of
credit foncier is believed to have been afford
ed in Silesia at the close of the seven years
war. The landed proprietors of the provin
ces had been exhausted by the conflict, and,
adopting the recommendation of a merchant
of the name of Bukring, Frederick the Great,
authorized the formation among the land
owners of Silesia, of a mutual society for
guaranteeing the repayment of the advances
held by, or made to, sdiy of its individual
members. The lenders dealt not with the
individual, but with the Society; and the se
curity granted for each advance was an obli
gation or mortgage on the particular proper-
ty concerned, fortified by the joint guarantee,
and so adjusted as regards repayment, that
by means of a sinking lund of one per cent,
per annum, accumulating at compound in
terest at four per cent., the principal of the
debt was repaid in forty-one years. Simple
interest at four percent, was also paid during
the process of liquidation.
In general terms the system of Credit Fon
cier, as introduced into Siltsia, consisted in
improving the security offered to lenders by
means of the joint guarantee of the society
means of a special law; in providinglSrlfei
liquidation of the principal of 4he advance
| by means of a terminable annuity, to be ac
cumulated at compound interest; and by
providing also for the punctual payment,
year by year, of simple interest on the ad
vance.
The Credit Fonder seems to have been
speedily adopted throughout the Prussian
provinces, and from them gradually to
have reached Austria and most of the Ger
man States. It was introduced into Den
mark in 1830; and it has also been adopted
in the Baltic provinces of Russia. In Bel
gium and in Bavaria, Wirtemberg, and
some other parts of Germany, the State has
authorized Joint Stock Companies to put
themselves forward as intermediate agents
between lenders and individual land owners;
the Companies seeking a profit by the per
centege charged for their superintendence
and guarantee.
France has also her Credit Fancier, “in ac
cordance with which the owners of money
capital are in the habit of making allowances
on the security of landed property.” They
are attended with more risk to the lender
than similar institutions in Germany. The
insufficiency of capital in France is also the
source of these institutions. The desire to
possess land, with its minute subdivision,
has produced great competition for capital
with which to bring it into cultivation that
interest for its use brings as high a rate, tor
the purpose, as 7 pet; cent, per annum, while
purchases of land;yield only 3 per cent
arising from the fact “that the largest part
of the advances in France are required by
persons, as stated by Mr. Tooke, who com
bine the two functions of Landholder and
Farmer, and who, not having sufficient cap
ital of their own to carry on the business of
cultivation, seek assistance from the class of
lenders. On the part of snch a borrower,
therefore, the fundj available for the pay
ment of interest, on borrowed money, is
two-fold;— namely, first, the return coming
to him as the rent of his land, and, second,
the return coming to him as the profit upon
his tanning operations.”
It is needless to point out the difference
between the circumstances which have pro
duced a scarcity of agricultural capital in
France and in Silesia and the Southern Stages.
In the former, it has been the result in a great
part of those territorial arrangements that
grew out of the revolution of 1789, by which
the land was divided and subdivided, and,
PRICE. 5 CENTS
therefore, of a permanent character, while
in both Silesia and the Southern States the
scarcity of capital has arisen from the rav
ages of war, and are of a temporary char
acter.
Now as the eause is the same so should
be the remedy. If Silesia was able to restore
and renovate her Agriculture by the use of
borrowed capital, why may not the Southern
States ? The public authority in Silesia aid
ed the scheme of M. Buring. The authority
of Congress has placed an insurmountable
impediment in the way of restoration. The
capital required cannot be produced at the
Southit is obtainable at moderate rates of
interest at the North if the restriction is re
moved that/subjects to confiscation all real
estate amounting to S2O 000. This precludes
that distribution of capital, which would re
lieve the North of some portion of its super
abundance, while it supplied the want of it at
the South. Application has been made to the
President from various quarters to relieve the
South from this restriction, and he has been
much censured for its non-removal, when it
depends on the parties themselves for relief
by merely taking the usual oath of loyalty.
It is scarcely conceivable that the Executive
should be anxious to remove obstructions
both to the Foreign and Coastwise trade, by
raising the blockade, at the earliest practi
cable period, and continue a restriction of
this kind.
—ln Bath, New York, a dwelling bouse
was burned, on one of the shade trees in
