MR.. CLEVELAND's LETTER

Princeton, N. j., April IL, 19O0-To Louis
+. Burchard-Dear Sir: regret that l
am unable to accept your Invitation to
attend the dinner to be given by the
brooklyn Democratic club, on the 18th
inst, to commemorate the birth of Thorn
as jefferson.
When those who profess the Demo-
cratic faith met to celebrate the birth Of
the man who first gave that faith dis
tlnct formulation, their pride in the
achievements and triumphs of the party
which he founded, should not entirely
dlsplace all thought of the present situa-
ton and the conditions which, in the light
OF experience appear to be essential to
its success.
Though the faults of the. party in power
are many, and though it's offenses against
political health and safety of the country
are fagrant, these things should not en-
courage us to base an expectation of sue
cess and hope for the restoration of
wholesome administration upon the short
comings of our adversaries.
We should too we'll understand their
ability to attach to their fortunes the
powerful contingent of selfish interests to
place confident reliance upon the weak
ness which ought to be the penalty of
their misdeeds.
Besides none Of us can close our eyes
to the fact that the Democratic party is
only formidable in it's own strength. It's
power to win victories has always been
found to depend upon a sturdy and con-
sistent adherence to it's time-honored
principles, which have proved sufficient to
meet every emergency of our national
life. Whatever successes may have at
tended party of opportunity with sails
spread for every transient breeze of pop
ular sentiment or excitement, experience
has abundantly demonstrated that De-
mocracy is so constituted that it is only
strong when courage in the right, and
victorious when its forces are marshaled
under it's old and we'll organized stand
ards.
Our principles are so simple and they
accord so we'll with the honest American
disposition which loves freedom and cares
for the public welfare that they are un-
derstood by the Democratic masses. AS
a result of this there never has been a
time when false leadership Of our party

THE REMARKABLE RECORD.
Made by the Southern Stock Mutual
and the Underwriters.

Greensboro, n G. Jan. 19-(Special)
There was held today i'll Greensboro
the annual meetings Of the two Greens
boro insurance companies, the Southern
Stock Mutual and the Underwriters
These meetings are Of more than local
Importance because the stockholders of
these companies represent narly very
section of the State of North Carolina
and larger business interests and greater
aggregation Of capital than any organiza-
fion in the State Besides, there are up
wards of 10000 people in North Caro-
lima who are interested directly as policy
holders in the profits of the companies.
These companies have just completed
the most successful year since their or
ganiZatiom. One Of the companies is just
entering upon its sixth year, the other
upon its third year. During the year
1899. the two companies have increased
their assets from S233, 40 to mol
S1S.S7, and their reserve for reinsurance
(emergency fund.- from S29,GS0.39 to
SAB 415.41 and their surplus from ST.
i32. 10 ITO $1T.S16.S1. The year 1890
shows an increase IN premium receipts
from $50. S35.61 to S5S, 543G2, being an
increase of over 13 per cent. The record
which these companies have made since
their organization is II very remarkable
one. and the figures given below chal-
lenge comparison:
Total premiums since organl-
cation. .... 49,. $50. 1899
Total losses since organiZa-
tom. ...... ...:. o6,o4 - Z
Total dividends to policy-hold-
crs since organization. -. 29,7S2. 06
Average annual loss ratio, 10 % per
cent.
On account of the continued hostility
of the Southeastern Tariff Association,
evidenced by the recent general cut in
rates in North Carolina on those classes
of risks which the Southern Stock
Mutual and Underwriters have made a
speciality of writing, the stockholders
have deemed it prudemt to make the
policy holders dividend ON the business
of the past year IL per cent. instead Of
20 per cent as heretofore thereby
hedging" against the Southeastern
Tariff Association. The policy holders
of the companies cannot fail to endorse
| this course. especially since the per
cent. which has been withheld from the
| dividend account and carried to the
! Emergency Fund will be applied towards
increasing the policy-hlders dividend In
| subsequent years. These companies de
serve all the success they have achieved
and more, for besides the thousands OF
| dollars they are annually returning Oh
rectly to property owners IN dividends
| they have forced other companies to 4
recent reduction in rates which VIII save
not less than 100000 per year 10 the
people of North Carolina.
