Jk Card TO TUB WASBtBOTOB rOLICT-BOLnFRS OP THfc UTTHaL lipb ibbibabcb compahto* BBW TPBK My attention has been called to a publication in tbe city paper* signed by a number ot" New Voi k i>olic)?holdersof yonr compauy, protesting ?gainst tte proposed action of the trustees In reducing the rates lor new Insurers after the tir*t of January next, as prejudicial to the interests of the present members. As the agent of this great corooration In this city, I fee! called njion to publish a few words of explanation in regard to this matter, which, I trust, will prove satisfactory. The Uea that the Interests of the present policy-holders would be at all Injuriously af fected by the proposed change, is simply absurd. The Mutnal Life Insurance Company, by an experience of 3ft years, and a business large enough to command tlie laws of average, has established beyond any question, that the "loading" or margin allowed for expenses in tbe present rates, Ts larger than Is necessary in their mode of conducting business. This excess bas teen heretofore peri<Hlically returned to the {?olicy holders (together with tbe surplus arising I it'm other sources) In their so-called " divi dends.-' These dividends, in the case of an ordinary life poli^v, do not fall short, even for the tir.-t jear.ot 25 per cent, of the whole an nual premium, cud it is the opinion of their eminent actuary, Professor Bartlett, late of West Point, that this percentage of present rates can befu.ly maintained in the future, alter making the most liberai allowance for the legal reserve, and tor every possible un la vorable contingency. Tbe proiosed charge simply contemplate* raying new insurers this dividend in adrance. There seems to be little use to receive one hun dred dollars from a policy-holder st the begin ning of the year, with a distinct understanding tLs?t or 30 per cent, of it is to be returned to him at tbe close. If the reduction iuftinged in any wav on that portion of the premium re served tor losses, or legal premi'im reserve, It would be obviously unwise; but it does not so infringe?ii comes solely froiu the "loaling," or margin for expenses; "and the company, by watchfulness. prudence and economy, aiid by its enormous bulk of business, has so diminished the ratio of expense that tb* reduction can be made with peifcct safety, and will be an obvious convenience to those seeking insurance. Now, a? to its eflect on existing policies: A very brief examination will show that it only attr'ctsthem favorably. Each new policy-holder will be charged in his accruing dividends with the lull amount of the redaction In original premium, and of course his dividends will be proimrtiona'ely smaller than those ot" the old rate policy holders. Not only so, bnt the divi dends of the old policy-holders will be larger; lor, as there is no iucrea.se proposed In the com missions of sgenls. an enormous reduction ot expense will be secured, which, of course, will be a direct gaiu to the sum available for diatri-1 bution among all the insured. The agei.ts of the company are certainly hard-hit by the proposed change, and have the right, if anybody bas, to enfar complaint and protest, (.s their commissions are from first year's premi-irus only; but the Mutnal Life In surarce Company, ot New York, has always t>e? n in the habit of conducting its business solely in the interest of the policy ?holder*, and dots not consider itself as a mere source oi pa tronsfe and | refit lor its employes. In conclus on, I would say that It is not 4ifli cnlt to understand the virtuous indignatiou of other companies, nor their lively svnipathy for the imaginary wrongs of policy-holders: nor's it rtniurkfebfe that among the seventy-seven thousand |o.icy-holders ot the Mutual Life, a few dozen could be found to sign the publication alluded to above, esjeclally when the expense is kindly borne by disinterested friends. i ailj personally well-known to a!mo*t every individual of tho class to whom this card is ad dressed, and I beg that it will be accepted by them as a simple an i tolerably concise state ment of the reasons which counseled the pro loosed reduction of rates, and of the results rhich will probably en?ne upon their adoption "II.
