A Gigantic Insurance Monopoly Exposed by The Herald
The Herald reveals a secret insurance trust uniting all fire and marine companies in New York to fix rates, suppress competition, and create a monopoly. The Tariff Association allegedly dictates prices, forcing businesses and homeowners to pay or go uninsured, with Albany backed legislation aiding elimination of smaller firms. The piece urges investigation by the Superintendent of Insurance and Attorney General, calling monopolies foreign to our laws.

Demand for a National Currency and Public Ownership
The text advocates a government issued national currency with 2 percent tax, free coinage of silver and gold at 16 to 1, expanded per capita money supply, and limits on national and state revenue. It calls for postal savings banks, land reform reclaiming alien and excess railroad holdings, and government ownership of transportation, telegraph, and telephone as public utilities.
