MOUSE TRAP LIFE INSURANCE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:--
Under the above caption include every whoc-ltfe
or endowment insurance policy which does not stipu
late an equitable determinae surrender value
for each year OF its term. With slight exceptions
there is as yet, other sort OF life insurance in
istcnce The practice is thisA man pays In advance
each year considerably more than enough to CON-
pensatc the company Tor the risk II runs on
him that year. besides that much or moro to
constitute u sefnsurance fund, which goes more and
diminish tho risk bornc by the company from
year to year. IL he stops paying nj any tme no mat
ter how much this sciinsurance fund may have in
creased and although, apart from IT, he has paid for
every particle of insurance he has had, he with
draw OF It, because 1t is not so nominated IN the
bond, but quite the reverse In fact the longer he
stays In and the more profitable he bas been 10 the
company by not dying the more IT costs hm to get
out. For example, in the largest company In
the world, which processes to hold SELL
insurance fund OF SS00O0,O00 under its
rule last published, man who at forty takes policy
for $4,000 VIII have to pay lose ST. 500 more to
tire the end Of thirty years than ut tho end OF two
years THIS seems to me decidedly a mouse trap
rather than fair business arrangement 1t has two
three particularly bad consequences First IL vlc-
tmizes short purses Tor the benefit of longer ones
Second IL Temps the managers to the money that
does not belong to them, and then lie about It, Third,
IL disguss the public with the whole business MS notn-
ing better than swinde. What has ruined the Con-
tincnta, the Security, and now the New Jersey Mu-
tuaI grows OF bargain not fit to be made because
1t does not equitaby dchnr the way we'll as the
in.

RAILROAD MEN IN COUNCIL
Some Excitement Over the Pro
posed New Schedule Of Rates.

New YORK, October 5.-it is stated tina,
the meeting of railroad freight men to-day
was lively in character, and at times was
demonstrative. Ii appears that the repre-
sentatives of the Grand Trunk Railroad q:
Canada are holding out against the pro.
posed schedule Of East bound rates, and are
not satisfied with the existing arrangements
concerning the transportation of live stock.
During the night and early this morning
the corridors of the hotels we're filled will,
groups Of railroad men, who, from their
eager conversation, seemed Ia have very
important business ON hand. They were ali
very reticent when questioned rs to the ob-
iect Of the meeting and refused information.
The presidents of the trunk lines were
assembled in the same hotel, and when the
meeting of the freight representation adj
journed, word vas received from Col. Scott
that nothing OF any importance to the pub
lie had been done.
Responsible railroad men say that al
though au advance of Eve cents will be
made in certain clssi6c,tions oi freight, .
decline of five cents will take place on
other classifcations, which will make the
aggregate receipts from freight about the
same a. heretofore. Ii il intended to abol-
ish the special classes heretofore carried
under this head known as the fourth clas.,
which are TO be lowered to meet the change.
Many articles heretofore carried a. fourth
will be transferred to third, and 20 on till
the whole list Is rearranged.
