I WU& Bmk tht Powi r of WaU MmL ft NEW YORK, May 17.?Following 1st , mn abstract of a lengthy publication ^.gned* by the New York Press: S& Coagress will be naked within two weeto to grant a charter to a ilnanclal Inattention which expects to exceed In ? comprehensiveness und importance the '' famous Credit Fonder of France. Ita prime purpose Is to lend money to the farmers, especially ot the west and south. at a rate almost half that which they are now paying. Tbe system upon which the instil u ! tioa la to be managed In similar to that upon which the Credit Fonder is managed, bat improvements on that system are planned, based upon the principles Of the beat known utid most successful of the national building and loan ascoclatloas. In addition, the charter will authorise the company to do a general trust and banking business within well deilned limits, the object of this branch of the business being (o give farmers short loans on crops and the more imperishable farm products. As"proJected it would be the great?*: financial Institution in the world Its capital would be $100,000,000. It may. undtr the ?barter as drawn, do a mortgage and lean business of twenty times thai, or two billions ot dollars. The savin# In luterest charges to the borrowing portion of the couutry Is put at $100,000,000 a year. All those who listened to the arguments advanced in the recent campaign will comprehend what that means. There are behind this institution twenty or thirty of tho best known and most powerful capitalists and financier* of America. The most Important immediate effect of the chartering and operation of the new Institution Is expectrd to be tho wane of the power of Wall street. The money changers of the street who for many yeans have laughed at the warnI inf firmer of lht> Almiirhtv n* tvmhnll. *ed In Old Trinity will And their doom. Some of the most prominent figures ot the street are clamoring to jet into the company. Dm Pumm If at the Charter. John R. Dos rassos. the lawyer, who perhaps more than any other 1s familiar With banking and the ways of Wall r. street, has the charter for the new Institution !n his liroad street office. lie refused yesterday to five the name of any of the persons associated with him He declared, indeed, that he did nut want any New York bankers in the Inatltution. He wants, he declares, the mechanics, the artisans, the laborers? the people?to become shareholders. H~ says the wramon people will subscribe for the J J 00,000.00 of mock twice over. They wiil leave th?* saving* hanks, he says, because this stock wil pay them better. "But." said Mr. Dos rassos yester day. "U -the people do not become up and subscribe for the amount, as I confidently expert them to do. then there is a aydJcate ready to take the balance." This is the greatest effort of my 11M," said Mr. Dos Passos. "I have been three months drawing this charter. I have with me here a gentleman who was connected with the Credit Foncler of France, and he has been almost invaluable to roe in furnishing Ideas and Statistics. We have familiarized ourselves not only with the Credit Foncler of Franoe, but with the Institution of the same name In Austria, and institution of the same character In Germany which has been running successfully for a hundred years. "I shall have the charter Introduced In Congress in ten days or two weeks. and I can say to you that K will go through." Mr. Dos Passos Intimated that President McKlnley, Secretary Gage anil xnaoy senators and members of Congress of all parties were favorable to the plan. He declared: "Nobody will oppose this when understood. It Is a measure to relieve the people. The Popullata, the Democrat liver and gold, the Republicans?all will be In favor of It. "We have enough money In this country. The only trouble Is It has not been distributed properly. We purpose giving the farmers of the south and west Just aa good and Just as cheap credit facilities as the merchant of New York enjoys." The gentlemen Interested have begun a campaign of education. Last month two articles by Maurice L. Mulilrman. Deputy Assistant Treasurer in New Tork. appeared In the Sunday Issue of a New York newspaper. The burden of the article was to show that tho Interest rates In the farming sections, specially In the wnst and south. are too bigh, while the banking facilities arc too meagre. Thna Months' Charier Work. It la on the lines marked out by Mr. Sluhlemun that the charter of the Loan and Mortgage Company of the United States la drawn. As Mr. Dos Passon has been at work three months on tho charter It might be that Mr. Muhleman's suggestions were derived from Mr. Dos Prt^soH's draft rather than Mr. Dos Passos draft from Mr. Muhleman's aujwestions. No such Institution n* (his could succeed without the absolute confidence of the people. That confidence Is to be obtained. it Is declared Its projectors, first, from nn intimate aaaoclation with the national Kovernment Itself, and, aecond, from an enormotiB capital? 100,000,000?every dollar of which can be traced through monthly ofllol.il reports by every person in the United States. The association with the national government is to be 00 intimate ns to iiSFTsi?: Friend Sis Nausea, and so prepares the system that the time of recovery is shortened and many say "stronger after than before confinement."

It is further proposed that the Presldent of the United Btatcs shall have a sort of veto power over the election of the president of th? company, nnd shall have the power also to name two of the directors of the company. i m/nimnrd Mr. Don ' uvcrjr |iu?eiu?i ...... Passoa says, will be put at the dl*i>o*aI of the government, the object being to! eliminate every possibility of dlHtrrust. The association with the national | government Is to be no intimate that subscriptions for the shares of stock in the company will be opened In the postoffices throughout the country. A list is to be placed in the postoflfce in New York aud opened under the- rule "first come first served." Lists may be placed also in the national banks. To Benefit th* Farmers. The directors chosen, the officers elected and the $100,000,000 so disposed of. the company is ready to undertake the work for which it was created. The first and most important work Is the lending of money to the farmers, especially those in the Houth and west, who are groaning under interest rates of from 6 to 15 per cent. A vast machine is necessary to reach the farmers. This machine, it is the intention, shall follow the lines of the machinery of the government of the United 8tatea. The central office of tin* loan and mortgage company will be In Washington, though offices have been secured In New York for the preliminary organisation work. Then there will be a branch office at the c?|h. ital of every state. Subordinate to the state branch wlil be a branch office at the seat of every county, and the county office will have Its agents in every township. The agents of the townships are to have their offices in the postoffices. Now. suppose you were a farmer in. say. South Dakota, and wished to borrow money. You would make your wishes known at your postoffice. and in iiuu way you nuuiu imhi mc To him you would make your application for a loan. It is an Iron-clad rendition. embodied In the charter, that loans will be made on property only up theBOper cent of Its value.ascertained by actual appraisement. Details u to Ixnum. The agent will set the machinery In motion to have your title examined and your property appraised. There are now In nearly all sections of the country title guarantee companies, which not only insure title, but also five guaranteed appraisements. It Is through such companies that the big company expects to work. The title examined and the property appraised the agent will tell you how much of a loan wlil be made. The syndicate back of the company has decided that the company will charge 4 cr. per cent interest. That Is not ho low a* the Credit Foncler of France makes Its rate, but Interest rates arc higher In this country. In time. Mr. Dos i'aHsos says, the company will be able to reduce the rute below 4.65 per cent. Suppose your l'arm has been appraised at $2.COO and you wish to borrow $1,000. which Is all you can borrow on that valuation. You will give the company a mortgage on your farm for $1,000. to run the length of time you desire. not less than fifteen years. It may run for seventy-five years and the probabilities are that, you will take the long time, because there Is a provision by which you may pay earlier if you wish to do so. The mortgage you give Is provided with couoons. one for each quarter for each o' the seventy-five yearn. Every time you come to make your payment you get a coupon, and when you get all your coupons the mortgage is released. It Is in the fixing of the amount of the payments that we come upon the vital principle of the company?the principle utilised in building and loan associatlon?. In addition to the direct charge for Interest, there In a charge for a Inking fund, and that charge is so regulated that when the end of the term In reached the debt Is extinguished. On a seventy-five year loan the sinking fund charges amounts to .85 (eighty-five hundredths) per cent., so that the total you would pay each year would be 5.50 per cent. And you woul pay that In quarterly Installments. Bend* for th? Mortgage. Now as to what you would get in return for your mortgage. Tou would not get money. You would get bonds, and these bond? would bear Interest at the rate of 3.$5 per cent. These bonds are to be In denominations of ten, fifty and one hundred dollars. They will have been listed on the stock exchange* and are to be salable as government bonds?perhaps not at first, but eventually. It Is the Intention to have them eventually pasa as money, and thereby increase the circulating medium. Hash dollar of such bonds would be burked by the two dollars tied up In your farm and also by the hundred millions of the capital of the company. Ii Is stated an a foot by Mr. Dos Passos that the bonds of the Credit Fonder of France actually h?-I1 higher than the bonds ?>f the government of France. He expects the same thing to happen here. After you have received $1,000 In bonds and bought what you wished with them, you begin the work of paying your Interest and the principal In the quarterly Installments. You will see that you are paying the Interest on your loan and nt the sam* time extinguishing your debt and still paying not as much as the average farmer is ??ayIng on his mortgage to-day. Now, suppose you prosper and are able t<> save enough to make your quarterly payments. Jt Is provided that you may pay off your debt as fast as you are a mind to. You may pay. too. in the bonds of the company, and if for some reason the bonds happen to be quoted low the day you have the money in your pocket you may buy and pay off your debt at a great advantage. If you could raise the money there Is no reason why you could not pay off all your 1 AAA >L.. n ...
