What is the Matter With Kansas Big Liquidation Seen
A political column notes Kansas obligations reduced across decades since 1890. It claims substantial payments on martgage debts by the state’s farming lands, wiping them out, and asserts millions in bank funds. The piece argues populism did not affect repayment rates, and that the era’s largest liquidation occurred under both parties.
Kansan Debt, Agriculture and Prosperity in 1890s
The article discusses Kansas debt reduction from 1890 to 1898, noting a drop in mortgage indebtedness of about 40 million by January 11, 1898 and a remaining debt around 40.4 million. It highlights banked money, agricultural output gains, and a shift in the state’s economy amid bank deposits, with wheat and corn yields and cattle prosperity described as signs of a unique Kansas political era. It references the state board of agriculture reporting on farm outputs and suggests broad prosperity despite earlier credit and investment concerns. Continued in the next column.
