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?

Is the hou^o, while the treasury ilepv.rtment
Is to appoint an uuditor. The

published and be available to any person.
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
