RENT AND INTEREST.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Mr Hunter asks me if I have ever heard of a brickbat propagating itself without effort on the part of its owner. I should be very pleased if he could show me the progeny of a brickbat, after all the efforts of its owner. Money is a dead thing. So is the soil of a farm, the quartz in a mine, the gravel in a dredging claim, and thousands of other things; yet man gets a living from them by the application of his powers; and so it is with money. Mr Hunter sees a miracle where there is none, and yet he cannot, see that rent and interest are in practice the same thing.—l am, etc., A. WARBURTON. Xgaruawahia, July 22.
