Much OF PefIer's speech was in denun-
clatIOn Of uSury, which he said is break
ing down the Republic. The Republic
would go down unless the people saved
1t, and there was no way of saving it ex-
cept by destroying usury. He believed
Congress had perfect authority, under the
Constitution, TO lend money to the people
rs much as to provide for the carrying of
mails or packages, or determining the
rates which the railroads may charge for
carrying freights and passengers.
At the close Of the speech the bill went
over without action.
Mcpherson gave notice of his intention
to address the Senate Wednesday on free
