Secretary MCAdOO.
He OUTLINES THE PLAN
The NCw Liberty Bond Issue is For
Twenty Years at Four and Quar-
ter Per Cent Interest.

Six billion dollars is the minimum
amount which the people Of the Unit
ed States are asked to subscribe for
the fourth Liberty Loan, according ia
an announcement by William c. Me-
Adoo, secretary Of the treasury, in a
stirring address In New York outlin-
ing the governments plan for the
campaign, which starts Saturday.
The share allotted to New York fed
eral reserve district is S1,S00,0000O0,
or 80 per cent of the greatest loan
vet offered The loan, which will
bear "A per cent interest, will run
for twenty ears, maturing October Is,
1888 unless the government should
exercise its reserved right to redeem
the bonds on or after October 10,
1893.
Asserting that, without this vast
sum, 1--WE cannot lick the kaiser" the
secretary made a special appeal for
the subscriptions Of corporations and
wealthy individuals. as returns from
the third Liberty Loan indicated that
wealthy corporations and persons of
large means had not responded com
mensurately with their abilities to
help" He pointed out that of the
1S.OOOOOO Americans who subscribed
for the last loan. only 22,50O, includ-
ing corporations bought bonds in eX-
cess of $4,000

"to say that there are only 22,5O0
men. women and corporations in
America able to lend more than S10,-
600 each to their government in Lib
erty Bonds"
Mr.. McAdoo also condemned the
practice of "SwindlerS and unScrupu-
lous and unpatriotic people, who, con
trary to the urgent request of the
treasury department, had induced
holders Of liberty bonds to exchange
them for stocks or investments of
doubtful value" He pointed out that
these corporations forced the treasury
to buy the bonds thus thrown upon the
market, in order to protect the market
ana the credit Of the government.
Thus. the treaSury's available re-
