Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-07-14

Never in the history of politics,
have there been more spurious coun-
terfeit party platform planks than
will now appear in the old party
platforms. Each old party platform
will contain planks that will be
nicely engraved and stereotyped in
imitation of certain planks in the
Peoples party platform. Already
the Ohio Republican platform has
one in it, nicely engraved, "opposi-
ton to trusts and combines. So
you see each old party will attempt
to fill the. country with circulat-
ing medium Of counterfeit platform
planks, hoping that by doing SO
they can get new grip on the peo-
pie, and thereby check the mighty
hosts of people that are moving
onto Washington. Friends of re-
form, be on the lookout for the
aforesaid counterfeit planks. They
will be like all other counterfeits-
no good. Accept no party plank
for your vote that is not engrafted
in the Peoples party platform, ap-
proved, signed and countersigned
by the Peoples national political
party Of the United States.

state, is it reasonable to suppose
that they have been paying off
mortgages when circumstances are
so unfavorable? Again, according
to the showing Of the Capital, the
per cent. of decrease is more than
twice as much in western Kansas
than in eastern Kansas. This would
be reversed if the mortgages were
paid off, because the farmer in east
ern Kansas is better able, financial
ly, than the farmer Of western Kan
sas. This fact alone is sufficient
evidence to show that most, II not
all, the decrease is brought about
by foreclosure. AS every intelli-
gent person knows, the farmers of
western Kansas were so poor, and
the crops were so nearly total
failure, that the state loaned the
farmers seed for spring planting.
Again note the per cent. of decrease
is lowest in eastern Kansas, where
comparatively only few farms
have reached the point of foreclos-
ure-or in other words, will not
bear a renewal. Thus we reach the
true situation. The Capital knows,
or else it is an ass, that the bulk of
mortgage indebtedness is only being
paid off, either by renewal or fore
closure, and deliberatel y lies, in or
der that the people may be kept in
darkness as to the real situation,
and until the money power has &C
complished it's real purpose-the
transfer of all valuable property out
of the hands Of the many into the
hands of the few, and thereby build
ing up a landlord system similar to
systems prevailing in the old ma
tons.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-07-14
The Mortgage Question.


That eminent falsifer, the Topeka
Capital, in a recent issue attempts
to mislead it's readers, by claiming
that although last years crops were
short, the mortgage Indebtedness
paid off by Kansas farmers was
very large, amounting to 20 per
cent. in eastern Kansas, 80 per cent.
in central, and As per cent. in west
ern Kansas. Of course if the Cap
ital has told all the truth, the out
look is very encouraging, and the
AGIrAToR would not be last in it's
rejoicing But the Capital does not
present all the truth, and never has
when dealing with any question
that intimately concerns the COM
mon people, and especially the
farmers. The object of the Capital
in refusing to deal fairly is not
clear, but it is presumed that the
Capital has been chosen by plutoc-
racy for the chief lying spirit Of
Kansas, since the popular lies first
appear in it's columns, and since it
is more widely qouted than any
Kansas paper In fact it seems to
be understood that the Capital is the
organ in which falsehood is to re-
ceive it's initial, where Kansas inter
ests are at stake papers in other
localities to copy.
Farmers do not need to be told
that a great deal of the farm mort
gage Indebtedness has, and is, being
paid off, either by foreclosure, or
renewal; and in nine cases out of
ten, where renewal, the mortgage
is increased (; the process of increas-
ing going on until the property will
not bear an increase ; then foreclosure
follows. Now this is neither mis-
statement, or an exaggeration, and
for the proof, we cite our readers to
the mortgagors to be found in any
locality in the state of Kansas.
That farm mortgage Indebtedness
ia being wiped out by foreclosure
we propose to prove by the Capitals
own statements. During last cam
paign, the Capital admitted fore
closure of five thousand mortgages
per year in Kansas; that, too, when
the corn crop was immense, and
other crops good. If farmers suf-
fered foreclosure when crops were
good, at rate that would, in few
years, transfer nearly the whole
