Mr.. Williams bill relating to the
reduction of interest came up, and Mr..
Williams, who had the floor on the
bill, yielded to Mr.. Freeman. He said
he considered this a very important
oil. The only objection raised to the
DILL is that it will drive capital out of
the State. We had better not have
money than to have to pay more for it
than it is worth. A dollar is worth a
great deal more to day than il ever
was before, and our people feel that
they cannot sustain themselves at q
high rate of interest. Good, honest
farmers who have money to loan are
willing to reduce the rate. 1t is the
class that live exclusively from inter,
est that opposes it. The bill passed
second reading, and upon motion of
Mr.. Bellamy, was placed upon the
CALENDAR.
