ANOTHER LETTER FROM PRESIDENT GREENE
$17000,0OO INSURANCE SAID TO BE LOST TO
FAMILIES OF ToNTINE POLICY-HOLDERs IN
TEN YEARS IA sCATHING DENUNCIATIoN OF
THE SYSTEM
10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: InyOur issue of March %, ult., in answer
ing the statements aud criticisms OF Messr Beers HYDE
Alexander and McCurdy. | showed that the Tontine
puncple In life insurance Is absolute, unqualified gam
bling because IL makes stand to lose by lapse
that which need be lost by lapse; that which lapse
ought not to the loss of at ALL therefore makes
him neeesy and OF set purpose expose TO the risk OF
loss that which need not and would not be at the risk or
loss but for his act This is gambling pure and simple
And aside from this aspect OF Tontlne which directly
involves public morality, I have shown this peculiar
vice about TINS particular form OF gambling namely
that there ia lost merely what has paid to
company and above the cost OF his insurance up to
the time his policy lapses, but the padup insurance
which that oyerpayment ought to secure for his family
at once he carry the original Insurance, and
which such rpaynent would secure, had be taken
policy framed az the true principles Of life Insurance
THE THING GAMDLED FOR.
He Is only gambling. but he Is gambling with his
amys projections and the purpose OF his gambling is
to win from other families the value OF the protection
they made to forfeit by lapse during the Tontne
or Tontine perIon. The profits Of TOntne are for
feited aud surplus the profits OF
are parsy forfeited aud wholly forfeited sur
pus ana both and surplus ought, In case OF
apse TO give pad-up insurance to the family other
dependents, for whose protection the insurance was
originally taken. The profits OF either form OF Tontue
are. therefore, the price Of padnp Insurance which
ought to have gone to tho families OF those who had to
lapse their policies AMI the instant and constant pro-
lection OF families is the function, the public
utility OF life Insurance. the only thing that cannot be
done better and more oheaply some Othe7 way.
The only reply to this analysis, that have seen is by
way OF renewed attack upon the Connecticut Mutual and
myself
The phase OF TOntne which have hitherto discussed
has been It's effect upon the iIdiydun family, which
