Excerpt from Traps Baited With Orphan: Or, What Is the Matter With Life Insurance?

Our system of providing for the orphan, if not broken down, has fallen into disrepute. People wonder what is the matter with it. They see shocking dishonesty, and begin to believe nobody can be trusted. But somebody must be trusted. Men are as trustworthy as they ever were. The fault is not so much in the men as the system. It leads into temptation. It would corrupt angels. It seems, in some respects, Specially contrived for the propagation of rogues and enormous leeches. It is essentially a man-trap, baited with an idea that irresistibly attracts the noblest men.
