Very important,

We wish those Interested, TO please peruse
very carefully the following statements which
we clip from the Insurance World, Of October,
1850:
superinteudent Wilson. of York Pa, writes
us desiring 70 know ~ the Baltimore Mutual
Aid Society have the right 10 insure children
under twelve years OF age lie says that he
wrote 10 Insurance Commissioner Foster and
that his reply was not satisfactory, and wants
the opinion Of the World. Mr.. Foster, In his
letter. which IL enclosed TO US, says "There In
nothing in the charter Of the Baltimore Mutual
Aid Society, or In the law Of this state ia rela-
tiou 70 the are at which children may be in
sured," We have not copy Of the Baltimore
Mutual Aids charter, but II Ia on file, should
be, at Harrisburg. Mr.. Foster In doubtless cor
rect In his statements.
II our correspondent had asked the question
whether the Baltimore Mutual Aid could
legally issue a positive contract for n specified
weekly payment, ne would have gwen Mr..
Foster an entirely different question TO answer.
II il quite probable that this II what Mr.. Will
son Intended TO ask. II we are correctly in-
formed the Baltimore Mutual Aid In doing nm
illegal business In this state. Admitted 10 do
b business In Pennsylvania as an assessment
company, IL Is initiating the regular com
panies, and we believe that upon proper pre-
sentation OF the facts, that Its liccense would
be revoked. The regular Industrial companies
are by law required TO maintain reserve 70
insure the payment OF every claim as u may
become duo. This reserve In the PrudentiaI

The entire liabilities are put down at si,s17.so'

little arithmetic demonstrates that promises
did not always materialize. According TO the
sworn report OF the society II paid out last year
for claims wi Sl.oo Now, II ao members died
and their heirs had each been paid $500. this OF
itself would have amounted TO so3,D0. Where,
then, would the claimants FOR sick dement's

Congressman Luther Mckinney, of New
Hampshire has been the unhappy victim of
an experience similar to that which befel
the Hon. Roger @. Mills some years ago in a
Connecticut town. Mr.. Mckinney, like Mills.
was lecturing on free trado and was quite as
bumptious and demonstrative at the Texas
statesman He went on glibly exploiting
the beauties of free trade until finally he
reached the climax with declaration that
laboring men in free trade countries were
better off than in the United States. 81 chal-
lenge any man in the audience to refute my
statement" shouted the cx-parson, and then
he surveyed his audience defiantly. Sud-
denly laboriDg man arose and modestly
propounded this conundrum:
If labor is so much better off in free trade coun-
tries as you assert why is it that the tide of emf
grafton Is all this way? Why is 1t that our labor
Ing men DO not emigrate 10 Europe instead of
thousands upon thousands of Europeans coming
here?
When puzzling question was asked the
Hon. Roger O. Mills his reply was $50 home
and soak your head" But Mr. Mckinney
was so COMPOUNDED that his tongue Glove to
the roof of his mouth, and he made no an
swer at all. Hereafter it is safe to say that
Mr.. Mckinney won't start dialogues with
his audience.
