J. C. Roberts of Chicago recently
mailed the following reply to Col.
Greene:
‘Jacob L. Greene, Hartford, Conn.:
“Dear Sir—A copy of your circular
to your policy holders has been handed
to me and I have examined it. careful-
ly, and in my opinion you are treading
upon dangerous ground. There is
an old adage which runs something
like this: ‘Folks that live in glass
houses should not throw stones.’ How-
ever, you have thrown down the gaunt-
let, and as an advocate of free silver 1

tim and as an attorney. I have been
called upon five times to defend the
widow and orphan against the scoun-
drellsm of life insurance companies,
and have won my suit in each case. I
have ever found that the weaker and
more defenceless the beneficiary the
more arrogant and unscrupulous was
the insurance company, and from my
knowledge of the companies generally
I doubt if there is an insurance presi-
dent alive that would not sit up nights
from now until the November election
to study out some scheme to beat the
policy holders out of ten cents on the
dollar.
‘‘As a business proposition your cir-
cular is a failure, for If there is any-
thing the American people never will

sition you have done more to help the

“But you have declared war, and to
the utmost extent of my power the

methods and schemes of your class. I
shall make 150 speeches upon the
stump between now and election, In all
of which I shall advertise the life in-
surance business, and your company in
particular. The war will not end with
election. 1 shall carry the fight to the
state legislature of Illinois and to the
congress of the United States, and en-
deavor to secure the passage of laws to
restrain the present companies from

gains.
“I am well versed In the statistics of
life Insurance, but shall leave no stone
unturned nor spare any expense to se-
cure all the evidence necessary to show
that your Interest is not in your policy
holders, but that as the largest money
lenders in the world, you want to make
money out of Its scarcity.
“I will show that it does not cost 10
per cent of the money filched frotg the
people to pay the death losses; 87 per
cent of all the policies lapse. Of the
other 13 per cent, 7 die and 6 live; the
last 6 pay In more money than they

pense of life insurance is the salary of
its officers. This will prove very in-
teresting to the unfortunate victims of
your scheme, and show how you have
amassed 161,000,000 in less than fifty
years.
“The impudence that you and a few
other life insurance presidents, assist-
ed by a few national bankers of the
same stamp, have exhibited in issuing
these circulars, surpasses my under-
standing nnd Is only equaled by old
Bob Toombs, who In 1859 threatened to
call the roll of his slaves at the foot of
Bunker Hill. And It Is equally us Im-
potent, but the spirit is the same
in this country (26 years) the PUR-
CHASING POWER OF THE MEXI-
CAN DOLLARS HAS REMAINED
ABOUT THE SAME. Although Mexican
currency has fallen in value about 50
per cent as measured in the money of
the gold standard countries, imported
goods, woolens, etc., can now be pur-
chased in this country at almost EX-
ACTLY THE SAME PRICE IN MEX-
ICAN MONEY AS WHEN GOLD WAS
AT PAR. I believe that this fact im-
plies THE APPRECIATION OF GOLD
RATHER THAN THE DEPRECIA-
TION OF SILVER.”
This is exactly the point, and is the
nub of the wholediecassion. Prices have
fallen in this country almost exactly in
the ratio that silver has fallen, or gold
risen. What we want is not a 50-cent,
r.or yet a 200-cent dollar, but such a
dollar as that It is the same which the
farmer gives his products for, and pays
for his taxes, interest and mortgages.
He will get that with the rise that the
restoration of silver will give.
Further in a most interesting letter,
Mr. Temple says:
“In reference to real estate values:
The coffee plantations of this country
have risen in value from $75 to $80 an
acre, which was their price when gold
was at par, to from $500 to $800 an acre.
This, I believe, to be due to the fact
that we have an ABUNDANT SUPPLY
ai' pdumpv honey circulating
among our people, and also that the
rate of exchange lias influenced in-
vestors of gold standard countries to
invest their money in this country.
The rate of exchange has also had the
effect of keeping our money at home,
and has stimulated its investment in
irrigation schemes, the cultivation of
large tracts of land, the establishment
of manufactories and various other
home industries.
“The foreign investor nearly doubles
his capital when bringing it here, and.
at the same time, has the advantage of
our cheap native labor and sells his
products for gold on their exportation.
The native manufacturer has prospered
under silver at the expense of the for-
eign merchant and importer. Silver
contracts imports and stimulates ex-
ports.”
All reports agree that Mexico pros-
pers under silver, and we know that
with both gold and silver as primary
money we should prosper again.

Some of the papers are suggesting
that the silver party will not get a
chance to vote for Bryan and Sewall
because it is not a party recognized by
the law. It is to be hoped that no gold-
ite w ill become inspired with confidence
on so slender a foundation, and that no
silver man will permit himself to worry-
over anything so ridiculous.
A silver democrat can certainly vote
the straight democratic electoral ticket.
So can a silver republican. Wherever
it is deemed necessary and the law will
permit, the cilver party will make its
own nominations, but in naming elect-
ors it will, of course, select the same
men whose names appear on the demo-
cratic ticket, for they are too shrewd to
divide the silver vote. Where the law
will not allow the same name to appear
twice on the same ballot they will vote
the straight democratic electoral ticket.
Men who believe the silver issue para-
mount to all others, and who have
broken away from their party on that
issue, are not going to allow themselves
to be disfranchised by a mere party
name.
The silver men will all vote and do
it in such a way that their votes will
be counted. Don’t worry.

MaJ. McKinley tried very hard not
to commit himself on the monetary
issue in his speech accepting the Re-

succeeding. Ono statement, however,
which he let slip removes all doubt u

form adopted by the Republican na-
tional convention has received my
careful consideration and has my un-
qualified approval.” That means IhRt
the Ohio man is unqualifiedly In favor
