Summing Up; or Food for "a Ten
~. der Conscience.
In Saturdays Herald the public were :
offered another nauseous- melange, I'M
ported from New York, in the vain eff
fort to obscure the truth and conceal the
incontestibIe superiority of the MUTUAL
LIFE of New York over any similar or
ganization.
In order to close this discussion and to
make the case so plain that it win be i'm
possible for any one. to be deceived in the
matter, l herewith offer to meet this
slippery General Agent before any
board which shall have an equal voice
in naming, under the following
CHALLENGE.
FIN consideration of the exceedingly
delicate and tender conscience possessed
by this sanctimonious General Agent"
l will stipulate that if this challange is
accepted the successful party shall pay
over the winnings to the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of Rutland, to be used for charits-
bic purposes.
$25-That, contrary to his statement,
this controversy was commenced by him
self, by unprovoked and repeated attacks
through the Herald
S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE has paid
larger dividends, both in amount and in
proportion, than paid by the Equitable.
S25-That dividends on MUTUAL LIFE
| policies held by citizens of Rutland, are
double the dividends on Equitable poll
cies held by the same individuals.
S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE has new
er skipped, nor attempted TO skip, a
dividend, as falsely asserted by the "Gen-
eral Agent" aforesaid
S25-That the assets of the MUTUAL
LIFE are more safely and securely in
vested.
! S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE has re-
.ceived larger rate of interest on its in
vestments.
S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE is man
aged with greater economy.
S25-That the proportion of losses by
death is smaller in the MUTUAL LIFE.
S25-That the charter of the Mutual
LIFE is more favorable to its policy
holders.
! S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE has q
much smaller ratio of lapsed policies.
S25-That have not declined or fail
ed to pay for any advertisement for
which had agreed TO pay, as he has
three times asserted.
S25-That every article printed over
my name has been written in my Office.
S25-That his leading advertisements
have not only been written but printed
outside of Rutland and sent here for
publication.
S25-That most of the statements
printed by this General Agent" are
either not true in fact, or the truth is
but half stated
S25-That / have been offered a
larger commission to work for the Equi-
table than ever paid by the MUTUAL
LIFE to a local agent.
S25-That the MUTUAL LIFE has fur
nished insurance at less cost in the past,
|, anu Is III COuultlOu W -lui blSu thC oailC
for less cost in future.
! There is no patent on the ''Tontine"
system. 1t is only because ii is unjust
and injurious to the interests of policy
, holders that the MUTUAL LIFE does not
+ adopt it.
/ will give rhis quarrelsome General
Agent" twenty-four hours to. incubate
on the foregoing plain plain propositions
which cover the whole question at issue,
! and shall expect to see his reply in to-
morrow's HERALD.
If he fails to accept or repeats his
dodging and equivocation, shall leave
an intelligent public to apply'the epithei
, he so justly earned, and also TO deter
l mine what credence should be given tc
o any future statement which may be
9 made by one who has been so extremely
q economical of the truth.
