1t is evident that just now there is no
subject more full Of interest to the public
than Life Insurance, and nothing that
concerns them more than the merits of
the various Lie companiesin the United
States.
In reviewing the career of these in
stitutions, we have been much struck
with the extraordinary onward progress
of the Equitable Life of New York, and
the marked success which has attended
the management of its affairs and we
feel Tint we are doi,'g a positire good by
giving in brief detail the points which
entities it to the first consideration of
the insuring public
The Equitable now occupies the lead
ing position in respect to the amount of
new annual business, as will be seen by
the following table:

SOMEBODY has given droll paraphrase
of George Washington and the Ratchet
story. He says Gen. Butler and Wen
dell Philips were in the garden of the
White House waiting to see the Presi-
dent. They were kept there for some
while, when Butler, picking up hatch
ct, began cutting the tree 10 beguile the
time. Grant soon afterward appeared,
and asked, Who has been hacking
these trees Butler answered, 81 can
not tell a lie. Mr.. President il was

NEW BUSINESS, 1870

BY this we observe that its business
for 1870 reached the enormous figure of
$40, 295, 100, being 81, 200, 600 larger than
that of any company in the world
The Equitable is mutual company,
on the cash basis, making annual returns
to its policy holders of all the profits
which arise in the course of its business
The mention of one very favorable fea-
ture must not be omitted-we refer to
the ability of its agents and the courtesy
of its officers, by which every inquired
information connected with Life Assur-
ance can be readily obtained. The
executive OF this company can always be
easily approached, and this tends much
to its popularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the
Equitable has reached its present pre-
eminence. Starting from the first day
of its organization, under the best aus
pices, IN 1866, there were but FOUR com
panles that wrote a larger amount of new
insurance; IN 1867, but THREE in 1868
but TWO IN 1869, the Equitable's trans
actions were the largest, and IN 1870
it still maintained its supremacy, as the
table given above shows. BY this time
it had issued over 60, 900 policies, insur-
ing more than $3.50, 100000.
We are not aware whether the Equit-
able Life Assurance Company is repre-.
sented here or not, but we would strong
lv recommend those DESTROYS of working
in the field Of Life Assurance, to place
themselves at once in communication
with the home office, with the view of
acting for them as agent, as there is per
haps, no other company that could offer
better inducements.

order to travel the distance of fifteen miles in
