The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1890-03-21

EDITOR OF THE UNITED OPINION
notice complaints in some of the
Vermont papers that read, and partic-
ularly the OPINION, III 1t Vermont cap-
ital is sent abroad to boom other places
to the neglect of home. take It that
the thing is not done from purely
disinterested motives, but rather from
greed. The 8 or 10 per cent interest
promised is the tempting bait. money
is loaned freely at these rates both on
city lots and farm mortgages and the
cupidity of the agents who make the
loans is so eager that they often lend
on insufficient security, SO there is
great probability that the security will
have to be relied upon for payment,
and in many instances will be found
to be insufficient. This prediction will
apply to loans on city lots and farm
mortgages. Take the city Of Minneap-
oils for example, if you please, with
population of about 1000, there is
territory already dedicated and much
Of it plated and on the market, and
within the city limits, equal to the
towns of Newbury, Bradford, the two
Fairlees and Thetford. That Mime
apolis is thrifty, growing place and
destined to be great city is more than
problematical but is likely to be long
time before all the territory apprOpri-
ated will be needed; and somebody
has got to lose some money. The ia
cility with which money could be OBJ
tanned has tempted many who could
put up small margin to borrow mon
ey when the boom was filling, and
those who neglected to close out before
it was full, simply got stuck and have
since been waiting for another boom,
but how long none can tell. The loan
agents, many of them, through their
ambition for the commissions have
placed many loans precariously- an
instance to the point Is the case of a
a lady in New Hampshire, who had q
thousand dollars to invest, which she
put into the hands of aff agent. He pat
$3.50 Of it on an 80 acre farm OF which
quite number of acres was represent
ed as under Improvement with q house
and other buildings upon it, which
were insured for her benefit; as the
int, est was not paid she has had her
mortgage foreclosed and finds it to be,
a greater part of it, worthless tama-
rack swamp, nine miles from any road
or place of business, and almostworth-
less. This is perhaps all exceptional
case, but money has been SO easily OBJ
tanned as to be temptation to both
speculation and fraud, and in the
former case too often results in the
ruin of the borrower. And my advice
to my eastern friends is to ego slow"
with their money. Western people
can no better afford to pay exhorbitant
interest than eastern people, and the
more of it they pay the deeper they
sink. They borrow to pay borrowed
money and there will be a day of
reck oning to all such. mel.
