f
Mortgages In the West.
From the Missouri Ilepuhllcas.
A writer in tlio New York Sun gives
'. a niiiitito ntiWntcrcstini; account of nn
Eatuni sclkl for loanini; money upon
farm mortgages in tho West, which
Western fanners will do well to keep
clear of. Tho companies loaning th
money nro located at tho Kast and the
work is dono through ngemU mid mib
ngents, each of whom receive a commis
sion for his services, and all theso com
missions puid by tho unfortunate bot
rower. The writer in tho Hun says :
'A urcat shoot of paper p irtly iillod
with printed (iticstions, is brought out,
and tho owner of Western land tormally
applies for tho loin. Tho applicant is
asKu i ninny questions conceruinir ins
age. his wife's iige, tho number of his
children, tho amount of lio stock ho
owns, bis health, and what ho intends
to do with tho mutiny if ho succeeds in
getting it; his moral diameter is dwelt
upon, nml tho blank sp ico-i on the great
sheet of piper arc filled with tho writ
ten nnswers to tlio printed questions.
Tho only item of interest to the Eastern
inves'or, that of tho actual worth of tho
land, is slighted.
"I'ho firmer ntul his wifo sign a huge
trimt deed and a lot of gilt edged coupon
mortgage notes. Theso are sent oft' to
the ha id center. Tlio loan and trust
coiiipiny keep 10 percent, of tho 81,000
to repay them for their trouble, Hemline!
S900 to tho sub ngent, who aguin charges
Jiis commission of from 0 to 10 per
eeiiu not nn the tflJUU, but on tho SI,
000, tho farmer reccivinir 8850 for his
notes of $1,000, secured by a mortgage
on his land i. I havo known i!2 per
cent, coiuuii-uiou paid for money no-
mined inim in.iu ngouts. At tno pres
ent time it cm bo had at from Ji to 10
per cont commission, and in rtgngcH
can bo lenewcd or extended without any
commission being piid. Tho money
that was lent before 187!) sns generally
slaved about 15 per o-nt, tho moit
gigor receiwin 85 jicr cent, of tho face
of his mortgigo nml paying 10 per emu
iiiteni't on the par value. If tho mort
gigo has fivo years to run, tho interest
t hi iiioi tgugor pays is not 10 per cent.
b it a Irillo over 15 per eeui."
Of course when a farmer is haul pies
awl for money he is easily entrapped in
to paying these exorbitant commissionx;
hn is ii-1 bis own master, auJ is at the
mercy of the money lender- Hut it is
to bo hoped tint in Missouri, nt least,
there nro few farmer who am in this
litrd condition. Our Statu is prosper
ous, beeaube its farming population is
prosperous. A fow years ngo .Missouri
farm rs u-rn heavily burdenol with
d bts, many of which weio represented
in mortgage-; but they nro getting rid of
these miiioying obligations, and if they
nro wise, when they get out of debt they
-w.ll keep out Xo farmer can allord to
pay 10 per cent, interest and commis
sion on tlm loin besides; indeed, as n
JUlr, 1-nl.l, jtwl 0
for a series of years -rVtf..i.''v'"" iiiwin
era out of ton to poverty, for tho good
roisou that tlio moderate profits of funn
ing cannot nll'ird mi eh exactions.
