have been rigging syndicates, debauch-

markets, and doing other things which
will be proven later. Instead of en-
ploying the vast power and the immense
wealth entrusted to you to conserve the
interests of your policy holders, you
have made yourself part Of the cruel
robbing machine which the SYSTEM
has created to deprive the American
people of their savings.

cation now being held. This investiga-
ton has proceeded far enough to put
before the public absolute proof of all
the crimes have charged, and three
to thirty times as many more.
It is now evident to all that:
1st The policy holders in the great
companies have yearly paid into their
company scores of millions more than
necessary.
I'd. The policy holders have been
robbed of hundreds of millions.
Sd. The vast funds now on hand
have been habitually used by the graft
ers now in control Of them in the rank
est kind Of stock gambling.
18th. These funds have been habitual,
ly used to corrupt the ballot-box and
the lawmakers Of the country.
I repeat. absolute proof of all this
has been made public.
It should now be evident to all that:
LIST. The funds now on hand are in
actual jeopardy, because they are in
the absolute control of unprincipled
scoundrels.
I'd. Unless smething is done
at once by the policy holders $
every one Of the largest companies may
become insolvent; that is, they may
not be able to meet the enga gements

ness-so-called graveyard business
for I am credibly informed that they
are now seeking to insure those who
formerly have been refused insurance
because of physical infrmities.
It should be plainly evident that il
the policy holders move, and move
quickly, they can be absolutely assured
that:
LIST. That the funds as they are to-
day will remain intact.
I'd. They will be added to by the
restitution of from $75,00O,000 to $780,.
100000.
Sd. A score of the thieves who have
plundered policy holders in the past
will be sent to prison.
4th. The future payments Of policy
holders will be largely cut down.
9Th. The present swollen SURPRISES
will. be returned in large part to policy
holders.
9Th. In the future policy holders will
actually run the company.
7th. All policy holders can be as
sured that in the future they will re-
ceive the actual worth of their policy
at surrender.
| All this being 50, it is most eminently
desirable for policy holders to act, and
at once.

To Life Insurance Policy Holders.

At the beginning of my story, nearly
a year, and half ago, I made certain
accusations against the management of
the three big life insurance companies.
[ knew when I began my story that
the big life insurance companies were
in the hands of grafters and thieves,
just as are the great banks, trust com
panies, railroad companies and big cor
porations and trusts.
This I know, and, in plain language,
Today the press of the world is de-
voting it's space, news and editorial, to
a recital Of the contemplate and helm
Gus crimes of the New York Life and
the Mutual Life Insurance Companies
not as I relate them, but as their
own officers and trustees publicly con-
fess them.
In the July installment of my story
[ called upon policyholders to sign a
coupon blank inserted in Everybody S
Magazine, and send same to me that I
might speak for them in plan to fur
Their their interests.
In response to my call have received
up to today, October 4, l6,307 answers,
representing $55, 1885,.
AS soon as received a number Of
signatures sufficiently large to warrant
| it, [ quietly began operations.
! The first direct result is the Investi.

So to SIG ton. ~. .- IA. 5....s.
The soil on my farm is rich sandy
loan, containing some clay and clay
subsoil. Unimproved land sells from
SIS to SIS an acre, while improved land
now ranges from $40 to $40. Ten to
fifteen years ago the same land sold
for $3.50 an acre. While I find hay
my most profitable crop, some of my
neighbors find beans a most profitable
crop.
Dairying will eventually be one of
our chief sources of wealth. We have
all the essentials, grass, rich clover,
good water, a clear, bracing climate
and farmers who are interested in this
business. Up to date the lack Of good
roads has operated against dairying
We have good churches and schools
and people who are energetic and hon
est. There is much interest in the build
ing of good roads and bridges and the
railroads are interested in the develop
ment of this country, and are assist
|. ing this work, which will greatly i'm
prove conditions here
One of the strong features Of the
country is the fact that just as soon
as the land is cleared it sets to timothy
and clover. This is characteristic OF
this northern cut-over country and is
an especially valuable feature. Grass
and clovers do not run out, but the
meadows and pastures improve from
year to year. Our climate, while cold
being more like mountain air, and ever
tho the thermometer goes rather low
at times, the cold is not felt as it il
