On the first page we publish the twenty
first annual statement Of the Northwestern
Mutual Life-nsurance Company Of Milwau-
kee, Wis.
This Company is now in its twenty-second
year, and presents a record of which the en-
tire Northwest should feel proud
the most prosperous condition and sound in
every particular. Compared with any East
err! company it is not exce11ed, if, indeed,
it is equaled-
It shows over eighteen million dollars
assets, carefully invested, which has been
accumulated during the tWenty-one years Of
its existence, besides which it has paid since
its organization an average Of over one mill
ion dollars. annually to its policyholders and
their beneficiaries.
From statements in our hands we find the
interest-receipts Of this Company amount to
S11, ,4S1, ,337733.G3, 37733 and the death-claims alone
actually paid to S., ,013 59a @ sinceits organiza-
ton.
This is almost t St marvellous, us,-nearlyss 100000
The established rates of insurance based
upon actual experience III this country and
Europe are maintained by this Company.
These rates are reduced only BY the return
ct each years surplus. which has reduced
lower figure than that of any other company.
The Northwestern is made solid by MAIN
tanning the rates established by actuaries,
based upon long experience. It gives insur-
ance to its members at actual cost by return
ing to each his share Of surplus arising from
large interest and economical management.
It is a striking fact in the statement BY this
Company TINT its surplus over all liabilities
OIL per cent interest reserve is over three
interest, the standard held by New York, the
surplus amounts to over four million dollars,
or nearly one-Quarter Of its assets, and ali
belonging to its policyholders. In other
words, this Company has nearly $50 to pay
every 500 Of liabilities. This is what IS
wanted i'll insurance: First, dbsol1te security;
and second. lowest possible cost at which it
can be safely furnished.
Its business in this State, is managed by
John E. Dean and Oscar Payne, long the
General Agents, and well known to our citi-
zens as gentlemen OF ability and integrity.

what he was about when he tele-
graphed his congratulations to
Plaisted, and that Weaver, who
really went to Maine to disorgan-
ize the Greenbackers and insure a
Republican triumph, had abso-
lutely nothing in common with
the Fusion Governor-elect OF
Maine. Here is what the New
York Herald's Portland CORES.
pondent has to say of an Interview
had by him with Gen. Plaisted:
called on General Plaisted at
his hotel late in the evening and
found him in the best Of spirits.
He expressed himself strongly in
favor of continuing the fusion.
"Ths fight" he says, "is against
the Republican party. We have
beaten them once by uniting our
forces. Our success, instead OF
leading to dissensIons in the ranks,
ought to teach us that our strength
lies in a united ffont.n
This same correspondent was
present in Portland during the ses'
sion of the Fusion Convention
which nominated Hancock and
Weaver electors in the proportion
of three of the former to four of the
latter, and here is the way the sit.
uation in Maine impressed him:
The result of to.day's work may
be summed up thus: Maine is Q
doubtful State for the November
election, as doubtful MS Indiana oI
New York. The Democrats anC
Greenbackers will fight together
for the electoral vote, and they
have the advantage over their op-
ponents OF the enthusiasm engen-
dered by their recent victory. The
Republicans are dispirited aud dis
posed to give up the battle In ad-
vance. Unless Scion Chase's bolt
develops more strength than il
seems to have tonight the Fusion
ticket will sweep the State. Han
cock is more popular here thar
even Plaisted. II he should be

them together now is hatred O
