Finaneerina."
The revelations Of rascality which
are daily being made in the examina.
lions Of the leading insurance compau-
les Of New York are simply stagger-
ing. The three big companies, the
Life, the Mutual and the Equitable
are simply the recepticals Of the mil
lions of the poor who invest their
meagre savings for a rainy day, only
to see it swallowed up in Wall Street
and to be forever lost in the Golfers
OF Pierpont Morgan and his gang OF
high financiers." 1t is shown in the
examination that men draw seventy
f1ve and one hundred thousand dol
lars year and upward, simply b.
the President of the company
wants to make them present They
render no services for the amount
paid and never expect to- 1t is plain,
simple graft.
1t is also shown that the insurance
companies contributed million dol
lars to help in the election of Rep
ublican president.
The money which Democratic policy
holders contribute to the company il
the shape of premiums go to help the
Republican party. Foraging on the
enemy with vengence.
One of these insurance lights, NAM
ed Mccall who began as an office bow
at $l5 week, has succeeded in rob-
bling the company Of twelve millions.
But the rottenest of them all is Pier
pont Morgan, He is regarded as the
overload of high finance When there
are bonds to float he knows where
he can lay his hands on hundred
million of the policy holders money
and take up the bonds He gets &
commission from the people who wan.
the bonds floated and another from
the insurance company whose money
he invests. Then when the insur-
ance commissioner comes round TO
examine the books, he loans money
necessary to cover all shortages for
the time being and charges interest
The money of poor people who take
in washing and scrub and slave them
selves from year to year and are half
the incaciate nav of these rascals
who proclaim themselves the best So
ciety and live. in ease and idleness
on the millions they steal from the
people whom they are pleased 20
designate as the lower classes" and
every man who protests against this
damnable spoilation is termed "un-
safe" and Socialist.
When ever financial sewer lid is
lifted and where the stencil is the
loudest one will invariably see tina.
old rat of high finance, Pierpont Nor
gan, scurrying to cover He has pos
ed as the Moses of safe and sound
money theories for years and directed
the crusade against free silver AMI
he turns out to be the biggest thief
and rascal in his line that the coun
try has ever produced. Possibly ons
may bar Rockefeller, who is some
what older.
The. evidence shows that hundred;
of millions have been stolen from tbs
policy holders by the rawest meth
DDS. These fellows who have fatten
ed off the credulity of the masses are
simply plain thieves who ought to bt
in stripes and cracking rock in tn.
Pen.
1t has all come to the surfacs
through the thieves falling out an,
now each company is trying to shoy
up the. rottenness of it's neighbor
If an insurance man were to knocl
an old woman down in the stree
and rob her of $40 he would b,
arrested. But if he robs a hundre
thousand poor women yearly of fort
dollars he is considered all right an
sports villa at Newport and his fan
lily moves in the best society.
II the outraged public took the la
in their hands and strung lot
those men to lamp post it would
away with that sort of insurance b.
- if they allow the next Congress
2ndle it, nothing will ever come
it outside of the bad smell that
is at present creating.
