NO HELP TO THE moRrGAGED.
Free silver u Hardship and Not Relief
TO Most OF Them.

TO Most OF Them.
People owning their homes and having
mortgages upon them should not be mis-
led into thinking that free silver Vie
tory in November would he of assistance
to them In meeting their mortgages.
\ little examination will show that on
the average IL would bring hardship in
stead of relief. This would be true,
leaving out of consideration all circum-
stances affecting wages and incomes.
and combining the argument simply to
bare discussion of the mortgage itself.
The great majority of mortgages. es-
pccially the smaller ones on dwelling
houses. are written for three or five
years. and Of this class the greater num-
her for the lesser period. while many run
for year or two. During the last few
years a great many of these mortgages
have contained gold clause. 1t II OBJ
vious that no one having such q mort.
gage on his house would be- helped in
the slightest by free silver. II IL equal
ly plain that on the contrary. were gold
ut u premium. II would be harder than
ever to make a payment.
IL might also he remembered that
there are always. especially during hard
times. u large number Of mortgages,
especially on small houses. that are over
due. aud are being carried along by the
MORTGAGE.
Bearing these facts in mind Il seems
safe to assume that the average life of
mortgages on this class of property In
this city aud its suburbs does not cx-
coed one year.
For free silver TO be of advantage TO
the mortgagor. money must be more
plentiful and more easily obtained with
In that time than II Is today. Is there
any reason to believe IL would be?
Even without u special session of Con-
free silver law. such q law could not
reasonably be looked for within that peri
| od. much less an imitation of the cur
rcncy. SO as to give relief to debtors.
In the mainline, what would be the sit
uation?
The crisis In financial affairs would fol.

silver ut the polls. Following the with
drawal of gold there would be sharp
contraction Of the money In circulation.
| and instead of more money with which
to meet Indebtedness there would be less
Owing to the unsettled condition of af-
fairs. lenders would be more unwilling
than ever to loan. and. Ms nn inevitable
result. payments would have to he de-
fnultcd.
There Is still another point. Tn the
very great majority Of eases mortgagors
do not willingly forcclosc. They wan,
their money and interest, rather than
the property. This Is especially true OF
the savings and cooperative banks. A.
u result. they often carry mortgages that
are due until such u time ms the ownci
can meet them. But IL they saw tina,
they would receive ut some future tim,
an amount less than its value In gold
and only such q payment could he Ol
