nd, in plain language, said it.

The big insurance companies, through their officers and trustees,
replied by declaring: "He's an unmitigated liar."

I kept at my knitting, for I knew the crimes of these insurance grafters
were such that, sooner or later, the world would have an opportunity to
judge fairly who were the unmitigated liars and thieves.

The opportunity is at hand.

To-day the press of the world is devoting its space, news and editorial,
to a recital of the contemptible and heinous 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 confess them.

In the July instalment of my story I called upon policy-holders to sign
a coupon blank inserted in _Everybody's Magazine_, and send same to me
that I might speak for them in a plan to further their interests.

In response to my call I have received up to October 4, 1905, 16,307
answers, representing $55,165,916.

I think my readers, when they analyze the following list and take into
consideration the character of the senders, many of whom are men of the
highest standing--bishops, ministers, governors, mayors, judges,
senators, members of Congress, railroad, bank, and trust company
presidents--will agree with me that it is the most remarkable collection
ever made by one interest since life insurance began.
