Thus person in his thirteth year, in order to secure
one hundred dollars to his family at his dcccase, pays
annually, during his life, s. 28 or he pays 80 50 to
insure $1,000.
The term Of time for which one will get insured will
depend upon the bcct in view. If it is to tenn
poary risk, to procure temporary credit or provide
resource for family till some other can be ayled Of,
will be effected at lower rate for the short
est term which will accomplish the object. But where
theobect is to provide for family against the general
risk Of DEATH it will be the only wise to insure
for life. Though it would be cheaper at the outset to
take out policy for short time, to be then renewed,
it would not be slte for though death might not occur
during the time, the health might far fail that the
company could not take the risk and thus the OBJ
ect be defeated.
AS to the amount the company insures for life fol
sums from 9IC0 to $1,000 on a single life. Men
whose labor procures liberal income, and whose fam
lies are young, will generally deem it wise SO to pro
vide, that the pecunay supply of their fnilis, aside
from what they eXpcnd upon thenseye, shall not be
diminished in case of their death.
Forms ofappcaton for insurance in the New Eng
land Company, and further information, both in regarc
to the total abstinence plan and the general subject
life insurance, will be furnished by the subscriber,

10 the friends Of the OppgcS

10 the friends Of the Oppressed,
AT a meeting convened at EImira N. Y Sept
3, 1916 to consider the propriety of adopting
measures for the establishment Of Manual La
Dor Institution, for the benefit of that class of
American Citizens, who have so long been the
victims Of cruel and wicked prejudice, Of which
fra Gould was appointed Chairman, and ]. c.
Sampson Secretary, the following Preamble and
Resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas the rapidly increasing number of
emancipated Slaves and free persons of color,
can in but comparatively few cases, gain adms-
sion to our Public Schools and Literary Institd-
tions, and believing that liberal provision in
the Free States for their moral and mental elc-
yation, which should afford facilities for the edu-
cation Of mutitudes, who, when Slavery shall be
abolished will return to the homes Of their
childhood in the character of Teachers, would
be practical Obcdicnce of the great command of
our Savior, Go teach all nations" Therefore
Resolved, That in our opinion the time has
fully come and now is, when a Manual Labor
Institution should be established at some central
point, for the education Of emuncipated Slaves
and free people of color.
Resolved, That for the purpose of calling the
attention of cur Anti-SIayery friends generally
in the free States to this subject, this meeting
proceed to appoint Central Corresponding COM
mittee of five at this place, and that a committee
of two individuals from each of the Free States
be designated, who are hereby invited to act in
concert with the Central Corresponding Com
mittee, and who are requested to present the
subject to the friends in their respective locali-
ties, that the way may be prepared for decisive
action at the Eastern Liberty Convention.
Resolved, That the following named gentle.
men compose the Central Corresponding Com
mittee, viz Ira Gould, S. g. Andrus, Silas
Billings, ]. Langdon and John Seover
Resolved, That the following gentleman from
the different States be designated to act as con
templated in the ID Resolution, viz,

TOTAL ABSTINENCE LIFE INSURANCE


We have received a circular containing full de-
scrp&on ofthe .Ncg England Total abstinence life
Insurance Co. The object of the Company is to insure
the lives of individuals in the same way that property
is insured We believe the object is commendable
one, and in many cases will do great good. A man by
paying small sum each year, secures to his family at
his death sum that will place them in comfortable
circumstances. Many families who were entirely de-
pendent upon the daily labors of the husband and fa-
Their have been saved from life ofpovery and wretch
edness by this arrangement. There is clause in the
policy orbiddng the use of Intoxicating liquor as be-
verage, under the penalty of foheiting the policy.
We give few extracts from the circular that our
readers may better understand the obect ofthe compa
ny, and the benefits resulting from it.
"To large portion of our fellow-ctzens an ade-
quate provision for dependent family is an object yet
to be attained and which causes no small enxety.

DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS.

We have been very patient with our subscribers in
toe way of dnm'ng but our receipts are small and our
ougoes enormous, and we can stand it no longer
In looking over our books we find number indebted
iortho Freeman for 3 years, and large number are
owing for the last and present volmre If we harper
to forget subscriber week out Of 50 we are gcner
ally informed of it at once but some oour subscribers
can forget us twice % weeks and it is all well enough
We have been to great expense this year to enlarge
the paper and improve its appearance, and unless those
who arc in arrears will send on Immediately what i
our due we shall be left at the close of the year with
heavy load on our shoulders. The money can be sen
by the members of the Legislature next week, or b,
letter with only 5 cents postage. We hope no mai
who is owing for the Freeman will set down to real
this paper through until he has sent the money to pa
for it.

laton of the Freeman, but list is not large enough
yet How many are willing to spend next Saturday in

at the regular price for labor? fan effort of this kind
could be made in every town where there are friends to
the cause, an amount of good might be accomplished
that would astonsh even the most ardent friends of the
slave We trust a number'will respond to the above
proposition and send US the result of their abos next
week.
