IT HURTS.
Mr.. Brown ReSents the Grill
clsm by the News Of the
Money Sharks.

Editor Providence News:
BY your article In the News of June
25th entitled Shark Money Lenders you
would try To lead the people OF Provi-
dence to suppose that the News an1 ov-
eryone connected with IL were the per-
sonifacation OF all that is good and truth
full telling suffering specimens OF hu-
manity to call to the news office and
there cases win be Investigated and re-
leif obtained / would much prefer to be
one OF those Sharks that you speak of
then 10 be a representive OF a paper
OF such leading deceptive paragraphs as
the above mentioned What relei can
the News give any of those people? IL
speaks of? II there are any which 4 doubt
very much don't think there Is any
brokers In this City who will show It's
the News Publishing Co and few dead
heads who won't pay anybody IL the News
Publishing co wishes to make a grand
stand play TO the people of providence |
think before doing so IL should acquaint
itself with the laws governing this parti-
cular class OF so called creatures your
article is more Injurious TO the people
OF providence or IL ever taken cognizance
of whish 1 very mush doubD than any
other kind OF business enterprise I'm prov
idence In the first place because IL prom
ises something IL cannot give and second
~ because II states than inocent people
through ignorance OF the law has been
ers wsich IL an obsalute falsehood az
this particular class you speak OF never
misrepresent anything like the News
Publishing Co. and viii always stand back
of any agreement they make because II
ls always In accordance with the state
law II Is not so long ago that the elus-
trious Editor of the News Publishing Co,
was saved from the very verg OF bank
ruptcy by the loan of a few hundred from
one OF this particular class when all
other sources failed and made possible
the News Publishing co, want to be sim
cere I'm this matter and II not why not:
and strike. at the root of this contami-
mating eyel why don't IL notify those peo-
pie who pay for valuable space In the
columns OF your paper for advertising
there business that there ads will not be
inserted after "A certain date III IL Is so
scrupulous and conscientious why not do
so instead OF letting its sacred columns
to people 10 draw this poor suffering
struggling class of humanity into it's
clutches All. no there Is where the shoe
pinches never mind how I make NV
money but you have TO make yours just
so or I will find fault this scenes TO be
the policy Of the News Publishing Co,
from my point or view
Dear Editor don't bother yourself about
these victims OF money lenders for they
are like the man that never paid to the
church collection he was always kicking
about the expense of running the church
the time bowling about there misfortunes
when as matter OF fact never pays any
legitimate bill that they can get out OF.
The press Is all right bur don't begin to
meddle with anything until II knows n
little about IL as there is nothing more
demorlizing 10 public morals than ignor-
ance and false hood l am not a Broker
nor never intend TO he but have bor-
rowed money OF these people and always
found them square and upright these ex-
pressions are just prompted by general
observation
Respectfully Yours
JAMES. BROWN.
