MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I have noticed in your
advertising columns, for several weeks past,
a communication from the General Agent of
the Home Life Insurance Company. Know
ing the proclivities of said agent l am not
so much surprised at seeing the figures he
gives to show the ratio of assets to liabilities
Of the different Companies, as | should be
under other circumstances. | presume the
friends Of" (not only 1.-THE late Mr.. John
Taylor, y Life Insurance, generally, would be
grdtified to have the matter stated in fair
and truthful aspect, and for the benefit of
such, will you please insert in your paper the
following official certificate of Commissioner
Wright; copy of which was, or had been in
the possession of said Agent when he made
out the statement alluded to- Therefore his
attempt to mislead the public, with the fig
ures he gives, into an erroneous conclusion,
is ayjlItattty wrong. There is plenty of oppor-
tunity to do business without resorting to
Misrepresentation. Honesty is the best
policy" in all things.
THE NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY is too generally and favorably
known to need putting. 1t is purely mutual,
dividing all its profits with policy hoLders in
stead of a Semj-aanu0L diUidend to be deduct
ed first for the benefit Of Stockholders. 1t has,
during the psst year, issued 1875 policies,
insuring to the amount of 81, $50, 234 45.
In 1862, it issued 8, 800 policies, insrlring to
the amount of 1874, $40, and this was the
largest liz any one year, ever transacted, with
the exception of single company The
New York Life Insurance Company has spe-
cial reserve and undivided surplus of upward
of $3.50, 900, and has declared dividend of
thirty five per cent.

The President aud Acturay of the New

Elemental to that giving the standing of the
Company on the first day Of November, 1862
it now appears to us that the amount of its

1927, 4o6 90, leaving, after providing for its
payment and the payment Of all annuites

1t appears that the further sum of $685.
913.49 of dividends, for which scrip has been
issued to PoIicy-Holders, is not only still la
bic for any losses by the Company, but can
not, be paid SO as to impair the fund reserv-

OFFICE OF THE n. Y. LIFE INSURANCE Co.
New YORK, April 8, 1868.
In the Synopsis of the Standing of Life
Insurance Companies doing business in
Massachusetts, which appears in the last
Report Of the insurance Commissioners of
that State, the NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY is represented as having only
SO and 41-100 per cent. Of assets to Iiabili-
ties Though modification of this is fonud
on a subsequent page of the Report; and
we learn that interested parties are making
use Of this statement to the prejudice Of this
Company, by imputing to it a much small
er surplus than is possessed by other Com
panies.
The computation of the Commissioners
however, was based upon an erroneous item
in our Annual Statement to them, which has
since been rectifed; and we have received
from them an official certificate, which is
appended hereto, showing that our ratio Of
assets TO Liabilities is 129 and 27-1O0 per
cent instead of the amount mentioned in
their Report:
This certificate, will, we doubt not, cor
rect any wrong impressions which may have
been received by those who have observed
the Synopsis alluded to.

This Company has $197 of assets for eve

You'd all contingencies. 1t is moreover a
purely mutual company, having not the in
cumbrance of a guarantee capital to absorb
large portion Of the profits which should be
divided among the policy holders in the form
of dividends. Many persons are not aware Of
the distinction between a purely mutual com
