Can it be that any father, husband, or man, is unwilling to make a little sacrifice of daily comforts, in most cases of what would be unnecessary expenses, to protect those most near and dear to him from suffering and want after his death ?
There are many other advantageous uses of Life Insurance, besides the security of a family against want. Creditors can insure the lives of their debtors as a security for their claims. A man with incumbrances upon his property may insure to the amount of them, to secure their ready payment at his decease. A young man may borrow money to complete his education, or may obtain credit for a stock of goods, or tools, or a farm, by insuring his life and assigning the policy no contingent security. A parish may relieve their clergyman from anxious care by raising a all sum to insure his life, and provide for his family. In short, Life Insurance is applicable all purposes of raising money on loans, where only personal security can be offered ; and, nerally, as affording means of certain indemnity against any pecuniary loss, claim, or incon- nience whatsoever, to which one individual may become subject, by reason of the death of other.
The moral and social influence of Life Insurance is no slight benefit both to the individual and to the amunity. It develops the amiable and generous traits of character, accustoms a man to think others, induces habits of industry, economy, and accumulation, and by relieving the mind m anxiety and over-exertion, promotes health and longevity. A systematic adoption of Life urance, by the people of any country, would do more to eradicate pauperism and crime than the combined wisdom of its legislators ; so that a well-founded, well-conducted institution of description is a subject of public interest, as its beneficial effects are at least equal to those my charitable, philanthropical public institution ; and these effects are produced without any donation, sacrifice, or act of beneficence by the public or by individuals, being the natural and gasy results of the spontaneous thrift, prudence, and forecast of individuals in conducting their own concerns.
SECURITY OF LIFE INSURANCE.
Life Insurance Companies are the most stable and permanent institutions known among men. The experience of the commercial world can point to no such permanency, nor do any class of institutions compare with Life. Companies for uniformity, safety, and reliability. The insured cannot invest their funds in a more sure and profitable manner ; for Life Insurance is simply setting aside and investing a yearly sum, with the certainty of a safe return with accumulations ; whereas other investments, with a profitable and sure return, are not so easily found, and often end in an entire loss.
An investment in a policy of Life Insurance is far preferable to deposits in a Savings Bank. An Insur- ance Company accomplishes all that is done by a Savings Bank, and much besides, combining all the advantages of the latter with an indemnity against risks. Like the Savings Bank, it takes care of the depositor's money, and it virtually allows him interest upon his deposits : but it does more. What is of higher importance to the depositor, the Company engages, in consideration of a certain sum of money paid to it annually, during the life of the depositor, to pay a much larger sum to his family upon his decease.
There are three reasons why a Life Insurance policy is a wiser investment than a deposit in a Savings Bank : 1. Money in a Savings Bank, being entirely at the will of depositors, is too easily drawn out to gratify some passing desire, and there is no strong motive to compel a regu- lar deposit. How many persons have commenced an account with a Savings Bank, and con- tinued for some time with a laudable perseverance, but at last have been tempted to withdraw, and never had sufficient confidence to commence again! In Life Institutions, a man, after mature deliberation, binds himself to make a deposit of a specified sum at a specified time ; knowing this, he provides for it, and we can safely say, that in a majority of cases the money saved to deposit in a Life Institution, would not be saved at all, had they not insured. 2. Money in a Savings Bank is exposed to the demand of creditors, while an Insurance policy is s not liable for a man's debt, being held by a special law of the State, as a fund for the benefit of his family ; and thus, in times of pecuniary disaster, to which every man is more or less liable, it often becomes
a means of support when everything else is gone-cheering with ease and competence the de clining years of those who, without its aid, would have been left to all the miseries of poverty and old age. 3. Life is uncertain, while death is certain ; and a Savings Bank makes provision only for life. The average length of human life is only thirty-three years. Of 500 persons, only one lives eighty years, and of 100 only six live sixty-five years. Those who can cheat them- selves into the belief that they run no risk of dying, will not, of course, insure. No one, however, need consult books to learn lessons of mortality. "Tis the burden of pulpit eloquence ; the lesson of the graveyard ; and the teaching of every day's experience. The uncertainty of life being admitted, it will follow that accumulation upon the Savings Bank principle, does not meet the requirements of the case.
To illustrate : suppose a husband and father, thirty-three years old, wishes to leave his family the sum of $2,000, and for that purpose deposits annually $50 in some Savings institution. In the course of thirty or forty years he will thus accumulate the required sum. But what guar- antee has he that he will live ten years, or even one year ? He has none, and, of course, no se- curity for provision for his family. But, if he pays $50 as an annual premium for a policy of Life Insurance, he will be SURE of leaving $2,000 to his family whenever he dies-in six months or twenty years. Thus, while all other means are fluctuating and uncertain, and riches often "fly away," a Life Insurance policy (if from a reliable company) is certain, and becomes a patrimony JUST AT THE TIME IT IS MOST NEEDED.
The question is no longer, SHALL I GET MY LIFE INSURED ? but rather, WHERE CAN I INSURE IT TO THE BEST ADVANTAGE ?
In answering this question, it will be necessary to explain, briefly, the
DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
They are all based upon the same fundamental principles, but are divided into classes, ac- cording to the different.plans of their organization and the different methods of conducting their business. They are either Stock, Mixed, or Mutual Companies.
Joint Stock Companies issue at fixed rates, the profits being WHOLLY divided among the proprietors, and the enormous dividends thence divided have, in some cases, raised the value of the stock to seven hundred per cent. upon the amount paid in.
Mixed Companies are also Joint Stock Companies with proprietary bodies, but the assured are allowed to participate to a certain extent with the proprietors in the profits of the business.
Mutual Companies are owned and managed exclusively by policy-holders, all of whom have their proportionate share in the surplus accruing from the business.
The Mutual Company is clearly the most perfect in principle, and experience has fully tested and placed beyond a doubt the perfect security of the system. No Mutual Company, when once well established, has ever met with disaster on account of the mutual principle; but, on the other hand, they have rapidly accumulated funds, reaching sometimes in amount to millions of dollars. In Mutual Companies, too, the assured have entire control of the funds; there is " universal suffrage," and the form of government is essentially "democratic." A Mutual Com- pany divides the whole surplus among the insured, after deducting only the actual cost to the Company of carrying on the business, which is not the case with the first class mentioned, and only in a degree with the Mixed companies. This plan of operation insures the applicant at the owest possible premium, for all that is over the sum required to insure him safely, is returned in dividends, which is not the case with the Stock companies, and only partially so with the Mixed companies, the proprietary body in the latter having first to receive its share of the surplus before a dividend can be declared to the insured.
The Governor of Massachusetts has recently vetoed a bill to incorporate a Life Insurance Company, because, among other reasons; it was not a Mutual company, and had no limit as to its expenses. He says : "Purely Mutual Life Insurance Companies have been proved, by ex- perience, to be the safest and best for the insured."
A PURELY MUTUAL COMPANY IS, THEN, THE ONE IN WHICH TO INSURE TO THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE.
SUPERIORITY OF THE NEW ENGLAND LIFE INS. CO.
It is a purely Mutual Company, and has made four distributions of surplus funds (1848 1853, 1858, and 1863) in cash, amounting to OVER $1,500,000. It now has a well invested fund of $3,000,000, which is much more than sufficient to meet all possible contingencies and make a large return to all the insured besides.
The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company do not pay their dividends in scrip, but always in CASH. At the close of every five years the Company, after paying the expenses of the business, reserving a sufficient sum to reinsure all risks, and cover all possible contingencies, divides the surplus proportionately among the assured. By this plan, there is no accumulating scrip, or possible liability to guard against ; and the rates of premium are materially lessened by the cash dividends, the insured reaping the immediate rather than the prospective advantages of the mutual plan. Some Companies are compelled by their charters to credit their distributions on the policies in the form of a bonus, payably only when a loss takes place, thus creating ar immense and unnecessary capital, and depriving the members, in case of non-payment of pre mium, of all right to the bonus. In this Company, the distributions are a source of pecuniar. relief in paying future premiums, and in times of great financial distress, are sensibly felt. In no event does the bonus (if a member choose so to apply his distribution) become forfeited. The cash distribution in 1863 amounted to $750,000.
Its standing and economy are unequaled. The Insurance Commissioners of Massachusetts, in their last report to the Legislature, compare the standing and the economy of the eighteer Life Insurance Companies which issue policies in that State, comprising the principal compani in the country ; and they place the New England Company FIRST in standing, i. e., in its ratio .
alue to liability, and FIRST in economy. This Company's expenses are only 8 per cent. of the receipts, while those of the others average more than 11 per cent. ! This is the oldest Mutual Company in the country, and, for that reason, must be the safest and most economical.
Its Directors are well known to community as men of integrity, sagacity, and experience in business ; and every year the affairs of the Company are thoroughly investigated by a body of Commissioners chosen by the State of Massachusetts, for that purpose ; and a full and complete statement of the operations of the Company, with its assets and liabilities, is made to the Legislatures of Massachusetts and New York, and a report is made to the assured, of the con- dition of the Company. Every five years, at the time of declaring the dividends, the business is, as it were, closed, so that its actual position and solvency are made manifest at that time. This guards the assured against any possible loss from inefficiency on the part of the Company, and is a sure guarantee as regards the future.
" The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company has deposited with the Comptroller of the State of New York, $100,000 for the security of its policy-holders in this State.
A company in which so shrewd a financier as the late ABBOTT LAWRENCE, and so profound a lawyer as the late RUFUS CHOATE, insured their lives to the largest possible amount, needs no other voucher for its economy, stability, and perfect security.
TERMS OF PAYMENT.
The terms of payment of the premium in the plan adopted by the New England Life In- surance Company, while ignoring entirely all uncertainty arising from the credit system, are peculiarly advantageous to the assured.
PREMIUM may be paid quarterly, semi-annually, or annually ; or one-half of the amount of five premiums may lie over on notes for a term of years, on whole life policies, interest" g charged at the rate of six per cent. per annum, on the deferred portions. Premiums for the whole life may also be settled in ten annual payments, or in a single payment.
This is not insuring on credit ; for the Company gets pay, from time to time, previously to running the risk-the interest on the note being taken into the account. The notes, or any part ef them, will be demandable after five years from the date of the first one, on notice of ninety days, so that the Company may have command of their funds, should the same be necessary ; but it is not supposed that such notes will ever need to be paid. There can be hardly a doubt that the principal may remain outstanding so long as the assured wishes.
Five annual life premiums being double the amount of the cash premium required for an insurance for the term of five years, it follows that the policy is adequate collateral security for a loan to the amount of one-half of the life premium. The Company, by this rule, never in- sures upon the personal credit of any member, its loans being restricted to those policies only which have a pecuniary value. The Company also aids those members who have paid several life premiums in cash, by affording them a credit in times of pecuniary distress, for subsequent premiums, to an amount equal to what would be paid them on surrender of the policy.
In this Company a person cannot forfeit a policy until its value is worked out in insurance. For example, if a person pays four life premiums in cash, this will insure him seven or eight years, or about three years after his four have expired, if he is unable, from any cause, to pay the annual premiums.
SURRENDER OF POLICIES.
Lv someumes happens that the motive for making insurance ceases before the policy has expired. Instances will also occasionally occur of persons being disappointed of the means of paying the premium, and so being liable to forfeit their policies. In such case, the Company con- sents to a surrender of the policy upon fair terms, if application is made for that purpose before it is forfeited.
All over and above the actual cost will be returned of the premiums paid.
Now is the time to effect an insurance! As a man grows older, the rates of premium are- higher, and his'health is liable to fail. Life is uncertain, and delays are dangerous !
A good and popular form of policy, and one much in vogue, is a policy for life, the whole premium being paid in ten annual installments (which installments may be paid quarterly, or ortherwise) ; and if, before the expiration of the ten years, the payments are discontinued, a paid-up policy will be given for an amount proportionate to the premiums paid. On this form of policy a dividend is payable during the whole life of the insured. This form of policy enables the insured to make all the payments due on the policy in the prime of his life, thus guarding against future misfortune.
TAKE NOTICE.
(" A party out of the city desiring to insure, may go before a respectable physician to be xamined, and fill up the questions in the application with plain answers, yes or no, as the case may be. The doctor will also fill up the medical certificate on the application, and forward the same to this office, and I will send him the usual fee, upon receipt of the application, even if the risk should not be accepted by the Company.
Any further information will be promptly given, and blanks forwarded free of expense when desired.
