Power of Interest and the dangers of high rates
The text argues that rising interest rates fuel debt, speculative borrowing, and wealth concentration. It presents long numerical illustrations showing how seven percent interest compounds to vast sums from a single $10,000 investment, and from a pair of workers who save and lend. It concludes high legal interest burdens society and obscures productive labor.
Warning to young ladies about marrying drinkers
A cautionary essay urges women to avoid marrying men with confirmed intemperate habits. It argues many wives join disappointed, ashamed lives, while rich, sober suitors gain spouses. The piece urges total abstinence and warns of social consequences, then recounts a Mississippi river tale of two men unable to pay a hotel bill, contemplating escape.
