Il Company OF New York No. SO Wall st.

Net amount Of accumulated premiums, s2l5,57l
This company is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char
ter to the insurance Of lives and granting annuites
and endowments.
Il commenced, without CAPT tai, the LIST of Feb
ruary, l543. At the close Of It's second year, (3lst
January, l645,) il had issued ,066 policies, and its
net accumulated premiums was s97 ,272. At the
termination Of the third year, on the 2s January,

losses and expenses, was s2l5, ST.; thus exhibiting

rapidly augmenting by an annual income Of $780,
900, growing out of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
in strong position, and II now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Pollcy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits, there being no proprietary interest or sub
sCrlbed capital TO absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends the first division Of profits the lst
Of February, lS4s, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits If they survive that period.
The premiums are paid annually, and are as 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-consequenuy 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.
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
use and that Of her children.

mutual life insurance, and illustrating its advan-
tages with forms of application may be obtained at

The three most important establishments in the
country are the factories Of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, and the most important Of all, New Heyetia,
founded by G ,ptsin Suter, retired officer Of the
Swiss Guards Of Charles X, disbanded at the reyo-
luton Of the three days Of 1880. This enerprisins
gentleman emigraied from Missouri to California in
1888, 1899, and has formed the nucleus Of the fu-
ture empire on the Pacific. Captain Fremont,
on his visit TO Captain Suter, 1874, states that
his first settlement he had some trouble with the
Indians, bat by the occasional exercise Of we'll
timed authority, converted them into a peaceabe
and industrious people. On application to the chief
Of village, he obtains many boys and girls as
he can employ and there was at that time a
number in training for woollen factory. He bought
out the stock Of Russian establishment, the own
ers Of which wished leave the country, consisting
OF large number Of cattle, artillery, &c, and makes
payment for them annually in grain. His fort

The peoples tariff has one excellence about il
that has not heretofore been found in congressional
tax aws-it is easily understood. Heretofore it has
been the practice if not the policy of the protection
lists to involve the tariff laws in 80 much obscurity
and mystery in consequence of the system Of specific
and minimum duties, that it was next to impossible
for any one to know how much tax he did pay.
This entire system Of mystery and fraud is now
abandoned, and the democrats have ventured TO
express in plain, Ineligible language the rates OF
taxation. Every man can take this law and calcu-
late readily and accurately the amount Of tax paid
by him on every article embraced in his store ac-
count. We regard this as great matter gained in
the adoption of the new system. If clearness and
plainness are desirable in any branch of the laws
it is surely so in the tax laws-and yet it has here.
tofore suited the ingenuity and the avarice Of the
privileged and protected capitalists to have the laws
for the imposition of taxes couched in terms so OBJ
scure and mysterious, that they were wholly unin-
telligbe to the mass Of the taxpa gers. We rejoice
that democracy has been able at last to succeed in
reforming and correcting this evil, which has con-
trbuted no little in enabling the manufacturing cap
italists to reap heavy pre6ts.-NashuiAe. Union.
