The bur­ glar who Invades a bouse at night cal culatee to kill if detected in his depre­ cations. He is therefore at heart a itburderer and the death penalty should be visited upon him. The man who jtills a burglar Is a public benefactor And should be so regarded. Meantime It is a crying shame that the criminal code remains as It Is.

Prepared Sxpressly for the PLAINDEALER by Oar Own Correspondent. CHICAOO, Sept. 7,1885. A halt has been called in the down' ward course in the price of wheat. By many it is believed wheat ha? gone *s low as it possibly can, taking the law of Bupply and demand into considera­ tion, and not the effect speculation and huge corporations may exercise over the cereal. The unpleasantness be­ tween Spain and Germany, this time, has had the desired effect of stiffening prices; and yet, whiie the advance has been slight, the turn has been made, which meaus that the hears have lost their grip and that prices can be er pected to go up. Wheat is entirely too cheap now, taking the short crop into account, and holders will realize handsomely--so sayeth the le ading dealers. It is usually customary for those in­ terested to try and make "a mountain out of a molehill;" thus the report of frost damaged corn has been used to strengthen the corn market, while the percentage of corn Injured is very small indeed. Large receipts of old corn are expected in the near future. The official receipts of live stock for last week were 41,643 cattle, 4,118 calves, 79,114 hogs, and 17,032 sheep. The shipments were 16,718 cattle, 2,620 calves, 40,388 hogs and 3,050 sheep. The receipts to-day are much lighter than the corresponding day last week, and prices are better, The demand for fat native cattle almost exceeded the sup­ ply, while all classes of cattle found a ready market at an advanced rate. Hogs, the demand for which has been rather sluggish, was fair, and prices advanced 15 to 20c per 100 pounds. There was only a moderate de mand for sheep to-day, shippers being slow to buy and the local demand light. WINTER WHEAT-NO. 2 red 81@82:No. 3 red 76.

CATTLE--Good to axtra shippers EDITOR PLAINDEAI.ER.--Permit me through the columns of votir paper to make a few statements which I deem to be for the public ?oo(i. It is through these chnnnels that the iiouest farmer is warned, oftentimes too late, to beware ot sharpers who are scouring some section sand in some novel way securing notes of these tmcn and giving nothing in return. Too many are watching every opportunity to get -something for nothing." It is the bait that hiiies the hook that has caught mafny a gudgeon. In tins vicinity much has been said of lite on the subject of Life Insurance, and seemingly the whole theme has been gone over until nothing remains to be sai'l. How­ ever the credulity of the public seems to be without limit, ana each week brings to our ears the birth of some new association, or society, each with the promise ta give "Insur anceatcost." "Old Line" comnanys claim to do this as well as the "assessment, or after death pass around the hat" concerns, and they come much nearer to it than do ihese societies which bear long and confldencc in­ spiring names, which in the eisd proves to be - "confidence game." Now the actual difference In cost between companies ia limited to one item--expenses of management. Really it matters not on what plan men insure; the duration of life is in no way affected thereby, That Is something be­ yond the power ot human ingenuity. Space in an ordinary newspaper is limited; time, to the teader at least, is precious, and we will therefore come to the point at once, The statements given below beingan all cases obtained from the Auditor's reports for the years 1SS3 and 1884 and sworn to by the com. pany's officers; so there can be no mistake. All of these assessment concerns do not report. Their answer as to why, being the same as the little boy's "don't liaf to," and strangely enough the members of these gull traps seem to he pleased to know that whatever the cost it, they are willing to be kept in ignorance. We v'ill limit our statements to tour associations; our reason for so doing belug the fact that these only are now prowl­ ing in this vicinity, seeking with tempting offers of something for nothing" to catch the unthinking and crrdulous. We will begin with the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, of New York. It is the oldest of tec quartette, beginning busi­ ness ^February 9, 1881, and re-incorporated December 20, 1883. During 1884 its total pay­ ment to members was $497,967.25. It paid to itself for handling this "charity" fund$-HX)<- 305,88. Management expenses tojdeath claims were thus $1)260. Next in age and business is the N. W. Bene volent and Mutual Aid Asso2iation of III. It began business December 10, 1881. Total pay­ ment to members in 1884 was |53,810, to twenty seven claimants and for expenses during the same time, $30,6-25 64. being a Jittle less than the face of the certificates. From date of organization to 1884 it paid for death claims t28,662.59, and for running expenses #53,668.95. The next in its order is the Blooinington Mutual Life Benefit Association. It began business March 1, 1883, and during that year paid for deaths (14) £4,973, or 9355.19 on each claim, being about 6 per cent of the face, said certificates demanding f83,200; at -the same time its management expenses were 925,818 10. The past year it expended for charity 955,564, which was about one-third the demand of the 49 claimants. Its expenses for the same time were 922,845 43. The last subject for public favor, the Mod­ ern Woodmen of America; it began business January 2, 1883, but its modesty forbids the publication of any of its affairs, further than that 301 certificates were issued. All money received was clear gain, and not accounted for. During 1884 it increased the number to 1,272. Three deaths occurred during the year amounting to $6,000 (each certificate repre­ senting 92,000). Only one claim was paid, however, which took cash. 9677.65, For ex­ penses, however, this company "took the cake," as compared with amount of death claims pa id ; 95,138 38 was the sum, which does not include the first year's pickings. Here we have 9623,654.49 paid to claimants at a cost for collecting and disbursing of 9438,402 38, and this we are modestly informed by these Wood­ men and Benevolent fellows is cheap insur­ ance. It is cheekv insurance to settle a claim of 92,000 for $077 65, or 983.200 with 94,975, a* some of the above did. No amount is put aside for the future by any of the above com- panys except the first named, which is limited by itself to 9100,0t#. This company admits the necessity of main taing a reserve, but states in its policies "This Association is not requir­ ed by law to maintain the Reserve which is required of ordinary Life Insurance Com- panvs." Yes, and it might add that the regu­ lar'reserve which every state requires of every Life company (the above are none of them companys) would make every one of them charge a sufficient amount to insure soundness or else quit business. A new asso­ ciation can aiways furnish insurance at a less cost than older ones. They guarantee nothing only what members have a mind to pay. The fact that a member pays all his assessments promptly guarantees not a dollar to his heirs when he dies. The Pennsylvania report of the doings of these associations is full of instruc­ tion to any who will read. Briefly, it shows for 1881 the following: 152 associations, paid 91,541,566.2S on 9,921 claims, or an average of 9152 to each claimant. The expenses for the same year were 91,479,975.73. Yet this is called cheap. In 1883 only 24 associations were left to report. In our State, until the passage ot the act approved June 18, 1883, associations were allowed to do as> they pleased and n> one was thi wiser. Now there is a chance to get at them, and there is no good reason why ny should be exempt. Now, citizens, all that you need do is to use a little calculation and yoti will see the folly of these plans. While each association bears a name calculated to inspire confidence to any thinking man as an eminent politician of this town once said: "f r-o-d is wrote right on their faces," and failure is a certainty. Keep this in your possession; you may nce'd it any day. Oily tongued canvassers in clerical robes are scouring the country in search of victims, which means to them at least dollars. Another, dressed in the garb of the "honest farmer," comes cautiously along and offering no reason, only "cheapness," is considering the number of dollars ho will be able to knock out ot the business. Another attempts to ex­ plain that it has cost but 913.75 for 95,000 the past year, and won't probably co^t much mote, as assessments must pay losses at the above rate a man would livp to be nearly 400 years old before he would/f)ay as much as he would receive back. At the same time the associations are paying onlv /a percentage of the face of their certificate^, as low as 6 per cent. Remember that this solicitor whatever his dress, whatever hia pretensions to vou, wants lot) cents on the dollar for all he does, though he may be able in return to guarantee absolutely nothing, and this suggests to us a conundrum. Apply the simplest rules of arithmetic td your co-operative scheme, and where is it? By way of illustration let us take an average man, for the experience of the average man, proper'.y multiplied, must be the experience of the multitude. Vou have, say, 1,000 member*, ages varying from 21 to 55, say an average of 37 years, and upon your as sumption of 10 deaths a year in 1,000, he is to ay say an average assessment of 910 a year, 'lie average expectation of life at 37 is about 30 years. Paying then for his average after life ot 30 years this assessment of *10 per year makes 93001 Having done this, our average man dies (as every man must) and he is to get 91,As you have no resources but assess ments, and you can't pay out what you don't get IC, there seems to be a little deficieucy of 9700, and our conundrum is, where docs it come from? Don't say that "new members are coming in all thiB time" to take the place of the old ones. "Olu" or "new," this is an average case. New members start on the same conditions! They have the same load to carry! You cat't sad­ dle thein with yours! New members (while they come) may obscure or confuse the result a little, but they cannot change the law of average. They cannot make the old ones live any longer, ami they cannot make lu times 30 more than 300. Spread it over what surface you please, mystify as .vou will, but the facts remain. Every man must die! Assessments must pay him! The assessments of the aver­ age ina.i must equal the average deatn loss, Keep your grip on the multiplic<i/ion tal>le. At 10 deaths per year it will take your 1,000 mem­ bers 100 years to die off Was any more monstrous absurdity ever oflered to an intel­ ligent people? If you don't see it now, fool away your money upon it for a few years. The cost must increaso (as it always has) till the scheme goe« to pieces (as all others have done) and you will see it then. C.
