"EAsTERN MONEY SHARKS"
kansan Populists Have . Fresh Grievance
Against Them.

TorEKA, Kan, Sept. 23.-Leaders Of the
Populist party in Kansas to-day raked up an
other charge against an Eastern loan company
which has much money invested in this State.
The debt-paying era has arrived in Kansas, and
thousands OF farmers are paying Off mortgages
with the surplus money from their enormous
wheat crop. Chairman Riddle of the Populist
State Committee to- day made these remarks
about the latest move Of the Eastern Money
SharAs:"
The people of Kansas arc paying of their
mortgages before maturity to such an extent
that the Eastern loan companies have dug up
an old clause in their mortgages that was for
the last fifteen years supposed to have been
dead and ineffective. This is to enable them
to keep their hands longer on tho throats Of
the farmers OF Kansas.
..In the prosperous days of the eos the East
crn loan companies began 70 do q big business
in Kansas, and. in order that they might keep
their money employed AS long AS they could.
gagged property, they. put q clause in each
mortgage which providIt that no mortgages
could pay before maturity with money bor-
ro'fcd from any other company.
This was done in the days of high interest,
and tho loan companies were afraid that during
II" liie OF their loans interest might become
cheaper by reason of the competition then de-
vcloping between loan companies, and hence
that farmers might borrow money at a lower
rate OF interest TO pay oil mortgages bearing a
high rate OF interest
They have now revived this clause, and
when q farmer indicates q desire TO pay OFF his
mortgage before maturity ho is first compelled
10 make an affidavit rs TO how and where he &C.
cured tho money
numerous instances are cited where the old
clause in the mortgage is revived, compelling
the farmers to make affidavit that they are not
paying the mortgage 80 as To get cheaper
money. a campaign Issue will be made out Of
this movement by Eastern loan companies.
