Story of a life insurance policy and free silver
The 1882 policy for Luigi M de Jesi valued at 10,000 Mexican dollars paid after his 1896 death. Conversions into U.S. currency reduced the widow’s proceeds to 5,347.60 from an expected 8,900. The piece argues free silver weakens the dollar and urges readers to consider its impact on policies and currency policy. It also quotes commentary from the Newport Herald and includes a travel letter about the U S S St Paul voyage and other news items.
