Building and Loan Associations In Danger.

Building and Loan Associations In Danger.
A remarkable feature of. the past 20
years has been the great increase in the
number Of associations formed by work
men for the purpose Of securing hons :,
or for investing their savings In i'm
proved real estate This method Of util-
izing a series of weekly or monthly pay
ments for the purchase Of property has
proved so successful that there are now
thousands Of loan associations, with
hundreds of thousands Of members.
To every man who has invested bis
savings In o building and loan society
the threat Of free silver ooinage-is Of the
greatest importance. Openly advocated
as q method of enabling debtors to cheat
their creditors ont of half their debts,
the evil of 90 cent dollars would prove
especially severe on those whose little
capital is loaned out through these asso-
Citations. Under free silver the borrow
ers would pay off their debts in dollars
worth but half Of those loaned. This
would mean the practical confiscation
Of one-haH of all the money which the
Torkingmen have with years Of self
denial managed to save. Do the Amer
lean, people wish to enact q law which
would perpetrate sc great an injustice?
