The panic of 187:. was due to the Issue

Discussing tho conditions. Senator
Hovorldgo says It Is necessary to both
Cuba and tho United States that no
foreign power shall establish any but
trade rohitlons with Culm. It Is alsu
necessary that the United States shall
actually possess such naval stutloiis
along the Cuban coasts as may be neces
sary to our national defense and to tho
with naval stations iu possession of tlie
United States "the Indopendonco of thu
Island and Its people from every foreign
power and every combination of foreign
powers is assured and the American
republic secured from attack lu tho gulf,
at the mouth of the Mississippi." The
conditions relating to the assumption or
contraction of debt by the Cuban gov-
ornmonr, the right of tho United States
to Intervene lor tlio preservation oi
Cuban Independence and for tho imilu
tenanco of a govorninont adequate for
the protection of life, property and lu
dividual liberty, and tho requirement in
regard to sanitation, aro defended by
Senator Buvoiidgo as absolutely esson
tlal to the peace and welfare of Cuba
and the security of the United States
Ho holds that our Cuban legislation do
prlvos Culm of nothing that can help
her, but bestows every boneilt and
erects every safeguard necessary to her
orderly solf-g&veriiuionr, Insuring the do-
volopmont of the Island's roMiurcos and
the highest happiness possible to Its
people. "We nro not depriving Cuba of

says Mr. Hovorldgo.

It seems to bo a recognized duty of so
elety to protect simple-minded Investors
from the consequences of their own folly
nnd upon this assumption tne unto tupremc

out of business a lot of so-called "Invest-
. n . nnninqnlou" ..'Vilnl. tiiv, l.nin lnfntlnc

that state, similar companies nie oper-
atcd in past years in this stato and may
ue operaiing now. i ney aro common in an
parts of the world whero they are permitted
to exiHt, and such concerns as nro reached
by the Ohio decision are nil fraudulent,
We, of course, do not mean tnat au invest
ment companies nro fraudulent. Invest
ment companies may bo and many are le
gltlmate and useful, but the taint of fraud Is
on nil of them which profess to sell "ma
turltlcs" or "endowments" or any form of
return based on nnything but Interest com
pounded nt a very low rate. Ono can go
to n reputable Insurance or trust company
and buy an endowment or nn annuity with
perfect safety. Humanly speaking, he
will cet what he buys. But he will not
" '
eel it for next to nothing nnd thoro will
bo no element of chance In It. All so-
called "Investment" or "endowment" or
"maturity" companies are frauds lf they
profess to pay unusual rates of Interest, or
return tho principal within a very short
time, or If payment depends on any form
of chance. The names und promises of
these concerns are legion. Their mothod
of operation is in nil cases tho same.
Thoy get all the money they can from their
dupes, pny ono set of Investors from the
monoy which they got from another set so
long as they can profitably do so, nnd tnen
"full." Whatever visible assets remain nro
turned over to a "receiver," who, with the
necessary lawyers, absorbs most of It and n
trllle may bo returned to tho victims. Long
bafore such a concern Is settled up the
managers, probably under other names, aro
hard nt work repeating ihe same operation
in some distant 3tato.
Wo need In this country more ot tho
sternness of llrltlsh law. We not only need
protection from concerns which any one
with common senho should know to be
fraudulent, but from all that cla(.s or com
mmlcH Oilch purport to bo engaged In le
gitimate business, and which may, In fact,
linvo a sound foundation in nctual capital
profitably employed, but are fearfully over-
capitalized. In Oieut Britain when such
stock Is offered to tho public tho announce
ment must contain a correct statement
of tho property purchased or proposed to
be purchased, the exact price paid and tho
compensation which tuo promoters or un
derwriters aro to receive and tho form In
which It U to bo paid, Then tho In
vestor knows what he Is buying. These
nnnouncenienta must bo signed by responsi
ble persons, who aro civilly nnd criminally
liable for false statements. Tho best cor
