Scheme Merely to Help the
 Backers
MEANS BIG PROFIT
Questions Sincerity of Wall Street Philanthropists in Advancing S25 Per Bale and Retaining 9
 Per Cent of All Profits

Montgomery, December 12.-(SpeciaD.- Looking with a troubled eye over the proposed plan of ''philanthropists of Wall street. to advance farmers of the south s25 per bale on all cotton that Is stored away for higher prices. Associate Rail- road Commissioner Leon McCord, is of the opinion that the scheme is one for the fi- nancial betterment of the packers. rather than inspired by philanthropic ideas. In an interview given out in this city today the commissioner takes especial exception to that part of the proposed contract which is to allow the syndicate 25 per centum of all profits. He says that if the syndicate was Of good faith in helping the farmer, they would exact only an interest or or per centum.
 Estimating that the farmers of Ala bama consent to hold 500,Oo0 bales, when the price is cents, until the price reaches F cents, the commissioner declares that the syndicate would net s25oO,0oO profit. Arguing that the S1 per bale which is to be paid in advance was in effect, an s commissioner added a S40O,oO0 to the amount. bringing the total syndicate prof its up to about s3,600000.
 According to the contract, however, it is alleged by friends of the movement, that the s1 advance on each bale is for storage purposes, hence should not be considered.

Philanthropists in Wall Street

Philanthr0pists in Wall Street
 Tn the first place l did not know that there were any philanthropists on Wall street. It is true that our friends. Andy Carnegie and John D., for a number Of years had offices in the neighborhood of Wall street that they might better as- certain the condition of the lambs that they wanted to shear, but when they sheared sufficient wool to justify them in moving forth as full fledged philan- thropists they left Wall street
 Now this syndicate of so called Wall street philanthropists that is coming 10 the aid of the southern farmer, reminds me of nothing more forcefully than 1t does of the following philanthropist who was sitting on the banks of the Mississip- pi river at Greenville, Miss, when there was great overflowing of the Father Of Waters. and the negroes of the sur rounding country were congregated at this point. when the philanthropic thought entered his mind and heart to aid the poor negroes, and he proceeded at once to gather together all the unemployed, and with a bursting philanthropic heart, put them to work catching drift wood out of the mighty river, assuring them that he would give them half they caught, he taking the other.
 " nat does this syndicate propose? Namely this: It will loan the Alabama farmers s25 per bale on cotton at the minimum charge of s1 per bale to start with. This S1 is equal to per cent on he money loaned, if the cotton is held F months; or 8 per cent if it is held 6 months; or per cent if 1t is held $ months. This is very fair interest charge for large sums of money, espe- cially when it is secured by cotton at the present time upon a basis of cents per pound. Now if this philanthropic Wall street syndicate wanted to aid the farm CT this would be the only charge that he would make, and it would be good in- terest on his money but the final re- sut
 The farmer is advised to hold his cot ton until it reaches at least F cents per pound. The present price of cotton, we will say is cents per pound, which is rather above the market. This advance to be held for is cents per pound or ss15 Ter bale, and this phlanthropic Wall street bunch proposes, that out of this advance of $15 per bale, the farmer shah have $1O per bale, and the philanthropic syndicate $5.
 Let's see just what this means: Sup pose the farmers of Alabama held 5o0,0G0 bales upon which they borrowed s12.5oO and suppose they held this cotton for six months and the price of F cents was reached, this philanthropic syndicate has first been paid $50O000 or per cent on the money loaned for six months, and in addition thereto secured $2,5O0,000 on the advance in the cotton, and as a net re- suit are given $3oOO,OO0 for loan of s12. 5O0,000 for six months or 45 per cent in- terest on the money loaned.
 ''Now this is what l call philanthropy with a vengeance. I don't think that the Mississippi philanthropist had any thing on this crowd
