FOR POLICY -IOLDERs.
The Election of Bryan Would Cut the
Value of Policies In Half.


Col. J. l.. Greene, president OF the
Mutual life insurance company, OF Hart
ford, Conn, has prepared a letter for
policy holders He writes
Ths corporation ha5 never touched
political questions or sought to influence
political action, nor would 1t ever do s.
unless thai political action were directed
to issues involving the very life blood
and substance Of TINT which We have
here undertaken To do III behalf OF your
families and estates. Our contracts with
you agree to pay to your families SO
many dollars. There has never been any
doubt what WAS intended thereby
We never supposed it necessary to
provide that you should pay your pre-
miums or that We should promise to
pay ysur policies in any particular kind
or quality of dollars. But now comes
political party and avows its distinct
purpose to make dollar mean three
widely different things First, gold
dollar, worth as bulilon 100 cents any
where i'll the world second, silver dol
lar, worth as bullion only 81 cents at the
present time; third, all the paper prom
lses OF dollars to be hereafter issued by
the government only, redeemahle in
cit her 1OO-cent gold dollars, 52-cent cor
less1 silver dollars, or in new promises
to pay, at the option OF the debtor or
reGecmer.
You do not need to be told that only
the least valuable OF these dollars would
remain in use. The invariabe experience
OF all the ages fixes that fact beforehand.
And to leave no possible doubt HIS to W hat
the party means and expects to he the re-
suit OF its proposals. its candidate for the
presidency declares: I'VE are going to
fight for that which some are pleased to
call dishonest money"
Should this party SO led come to power
