JOHN A. MCALI TELLS HOW INSURANCE POLICIES
WOULD BE PAID UNDER FREE SILVER.


WOULD BE PAID UNDER FREE SILVER.
A report that the New-York Life Insurance Com
pany had been distributing circular against free
silver lately caused State Auditor Park OF Colorado
to declare that he would cancel the license OF any
insurance company to do business In that State II he
learned that the company disseminating cam
paign literature. His threat caused the NewYork
Life Insurance Company 10 send TO him statement.
that no campaign circular had been issued by the
company. John A. Mccall. the president of the
pany. has sent TO c. a. Stein, the manager OF the
companys affairs in Denver letter containing the
following statements
No circular has been sent BY any Of officials to
not consider such document proper one to make
official. This company. as you well know. is purely
the benefit of it's policy holders The first and fore
most duty Of the officers must be to fearlessly and
honestly discharge the rep sed in them by

many questions being asked Of the company by policy
holders of many years standing to what kind Of

that the premiums their policies had been paid

The policy holders OF this company in the United
States up TO date have paid their premiums In dol
lars that have been dollars not only IN the United

is our Judgment that In the event of this country de-
carng for free silver coinage at the ratio of IL to
the dollars OF the United States that we would pay
10 polio y-cls INFANTS would not be worth hundred
cents the world over. However much might like to
take neutral ground this question. because OF the
honest difference from my views that prevails IN
many OF the States Of the United States. yet
Justly do IN adherence to what believe to be
my duty as president OF this company the hun
dfeds OF thousands OF families now insured with us.

hundreds Of thousands OF people provision

the value Of such provision should not be permitted
without protest.
SO far as incoming members-those who
contemplating insurance-are concerned they cannot
possibly be affected by these expressions. A man
who takes a policy in this company to-day with the
premiums and policy payable In dollars OF the period
In the event OF silver basis WILL Of course, settle his
premiums accordingly. ana his claim would be dis
charged In similar currency. You will see that tho
latter policy-holders and would be In quite a
different position from those who have been paying
