publication of letter written by me In
September, 1890, to Hon. W. l.. Peck, and
published at that time IN the Atlanta
journal. The Journal then openly op
posing the sub-treasury scheme, my per
sonal opposition to it was web understood.
The letter clearly excluded the idea of
committing me to all the seven PROPOSE
tions that 1t presented although 1t was
known that was in favor of the free coin
age Of silver.

professional work at that time, and sup
posed, without thorough investigation,
that the free coinage OF silver would
carry the value OF the silver bullion coin
ed into the dollar to par, and also keep
the silver and gold dollar upon parity
with equal purchasing power.
Since then have given the subject
much more study, and being thoroughly
satisfied that the free and unlimited and
independent coinage of silver at the ratio
of l6 to would result in silver mononet-

WHAT DOES IT MEAN =?
The Meaning Of Insurance is to In
demnify for Something That is Lost.
Are You Sure Your Compan,
Can Do This?

Is 1t not as essential to know
that the company promising this
indemnity is as sound and solvent
as a person signing a note or
other obligation?
A fire not only destroys your
property, but at the same time
throws you out of your home or
your business.
We never have lost company by
failure, in business of twenty
years experience. Never had
company make an assessment.
Yet In past twenty years more
than half the companies allowed
to transact business in Maine
have failed or gone out of bust
ness. Companies are dropping
out nearly every month.
Is it not for your interest,
financially, to get the best, when
their rates are no higher than
the poorest?
Kindly ponder these inquiries,
and say If they are not good bust
ness sense. Then secure policy
