was, that it would facilitate the settlement OF the
question and quiet the agitation that was certain to
result by running the controversy into the next
Presidential election, or from allowing the question
to remain open. The effect Of a speedy and peacea-
BILE adjustment, would leave all quiet, and settle the

THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE

Net amount Of accumulated premiums, S2l5.57l.
This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle, and s business is restricted by the char
ter to the insurance Of lives, and granting annuies
and endoWments.
IL commenced, without CAPT tai, on the LIST of Feb
ruary, ls43. At the close ofits second year. (3lst
January, lS45,) IL had issued 066 policies and its
net accumulated premiums was s97 ,276. At the
termination Of the third year, the 3lst January
1886, the whole number Of policies issued was 1873
and It's net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, was s2l5 ST.. thus exhibiting
an increase during the lest year Of DAT policies is
5ued, and sll5,2TS OF accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augnenting by an annual income of $3.50, =
900, growing out Of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
IN strong position, and 1t now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
POlicy-hOlders participate in the whole of the
prohts, there being no proprietary interest sub
sCrbed capital to absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends the first division Of profits on the ist
of February, 1913, and persons now insuIing will
share IN these profits If they survive that period.
The premiums are paid annually, and low
as any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation in the profits Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon and in stocks Of the State and city of New
York.
The transactions of this company are on the
cash principle-consequenty the survivors of par.
ties insuring with it will not be subjected to the
heavy drawback of accumulated premium notes;
reducing the benefit of the assurance TO small pit
lance.
4 Persons may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives Of others. carried woman can insure
the life of her husband which will enure to her sole
and that Of her children.
Pamphlets explanatory of the principles OF
mutual life insurance, and illustrating its advan-
tages with forms of application, may be obtained al
the Office Of the company, Sc Wall street, or of any
of the ngents.
