. SUNNI AIRY: X
WHY ARE TIMES HARD?

Because nearly one million dollars
is paid by the policy holders in Ar
kansas alone, to Legal Reserve, or
Investment Life Insurace Cowpa-
nies, every year.
One-half of this large sum could
be kept in circulation, in the
channels of trade, and the same
amount of protection carried in the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association
of Philadelphia.
That the readers Of the TEXAR-
KANIAN may have some faint con-
ception Of the amount Of doodle"
sent into the Golfers of those com
panies, we will state that the annu-
al income of the thirty-four compa-
nies is over ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
TY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, and five
of them have an income of over one
hundred million. Out of the one
hundred and seventy-tive million
dollars, less than fifty millions are
paid in death claims. Thus it will
be seen that the Louisiana State
Lottery scheme was sweet incense,
compared to the razzle-da22le con-
nected with the OLD LINE insurance
system.
But the great point involved is
this: That it is the insurance mon
les, paid to those life companies,
that have given the sinews Of war
to those gigantic railroad trusts,
and other monopolies, that have
besn fatted upon the peop,e.
Ye Gods! Just think of it, Our
toiling farmers throughout the
country; our intelligent business
men in every commercial centre;
our local bankers-all ranting and
howling about hard times, about
the curse of trusts and monopolies,
and yet they themselves contribut-
ing to the source from which these
trusts and monopoIies are bred and
nourished. The local banker, when
he patronizes an old fashioned com
pany, makes Of himself standing
monument in his community
of his inability to ham
die and take care Of the peo-
pies money, and consequently his
best patrons follow his foolish eX-
ample. Result:From ten thousand
to ten million dollars are taken
away from the deposits of the res
pective business centers, to swell
the surplus in the hands of these
rich corporations, and make times
harder for these sections that are
being steadily drained.
See the advertised rates of the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association IN
another place in this paper, and
compare them with the premium
you are now paying. Investigate
the Fidelity through regular busi-
ness channels--don't take the state
ment Of some agent of rival COM
pany who couldn't tell the truth
at three triaIs-but if your investi-
cations are satisfactory, take out
insurance in the Fidelity Mutual,
on protection lines, and keep the
investment part Of the premium in
your pockets.
