FACTS ABOUT CREDIT MoBIIER.-What
are these facts In lS67-S, the Credit
Mobiicr of North America was very four
ishing corporation. The men who were in it
were coming money. The dividends were of
the latest. The stock was worth three or
four times its par value. Naturally IL was
IN great demand. Outsiders were anxious
to get in. Each of the leading spirits-Mc.
Comb, Durant, Ames-was beset by troop
Of friends, clamoring for shares. There was
danger in this prosperity, however. A
breath OF Congress could unmake it, as
breath had made. 1t was sure to excite en-
Wy it was very liable to excite honest sus.
picions AMI lead to awkward enquiries, if not
to still more awkward legislation. Mr.. Ames
understood this perfectly. He foresaw the
danger, and being prudent man, urged up
on his associates the necessity of taking pre-
cautions against it. His views finally pre-
vailed, and in 1868 the principal stockhold.
ers assigned between 200 and 800 shares to
him IN trust, to be used for the common good.
The exact nature of the use to which these
shares we're to be put, does not seem to have
been explicitly specified, but it was well un-
ucTStOOu hll bTOunu lndI lney were 10 DC ln-
vested in political influence. Whether Mr..
Ames used all these shares in the way pro.
posed is point that is still to be cleared up !;
that he did so use a large portion Of them is
established both by other testimony and by
his own admissions He used it iudiclously,
too when he assured McComb that he had
placed the stock where it would do the most
good, he wrote the simple truth. The event
indicated the soundness of his Judgment
Subsequent votes in Congress, the stranging
Of Objectionable projects of legislation, prov
ed that he had done his work well.
What was this work In plain English,
to secure the goodwill and good offices of
members of Congress for the Credit Mobil-
icr by selling them its stock at figure far
below the actual market value As Mr..
Ames himself puts it, he had noticed there
was never any difficulty in getting men to
look after their own property. His idea
was, to make friends with the mammon of
congressional uRrighteousness. -Sprinqfeld
