There We're two interviews printed m
the News recently which ought 10 set
people thinking, Il was shown in one
of these interviews that the banks ere
already beginning to call IN their paper,
even paper which at other times they
would have been glad to renew. This
tendency on the part OF len3cHa OF
money will grow stronger rs the situa-
tfon grows more uncertain Men who
lend money ON q gold basis Will take no
chances of being repaid IN cheap silver.
This Is shown by the practice Of the
building associations, as described in
the other interview. The secretary OF
one Of these associations said that there
had been hardly building association
mortgage made III the past three years
which DID not contain "a gold clause. We
quote his words;
lido not believe it is generally known
that nearly every building and loan as
sociation in this CRY and in the state,
suppose, has put N every mortgage it
has taken Tor the last three years g
clause to the effect that the loan shall
be paid IN gold, # demanded by the as
sociation. The association Of which I
am secretary has out $4:o, geo, and that
clause is in every mortgage. Indian
