This judichl record renders newspaper contention with said agent unnec essary, unsafe, univorthy. Hundreds of old policy holders in the Northwestern complain that they did not get a farthingof dividend last year, and that company by its sworn statcments to thc Insurance Departments of the various States stated that its dividends in 1S89 were 828,713 less than in 188S, although it had 11,200 more policy holders. In view of these facts of record Mr. I'ierce rcccived dividends that could only bebng to him through jugglcry or the robbery of other policy holders, as per their complaints which we arc ready to verify. Respertfully and finally submitted, Childs &, Powers, AGE3STTS, NEW YORK LIFE Ript Here in Be A little local comparisoii of dividends be- tAveen the Largest Dividend Paying' Com pany in the world and the poorest in the United States. Mr. Charles II. Potter, in Oct. 20, 1883, placcd a 20-year Endowment in the Ncav York Lil'e, 177631, for $1000 ; premiuin $47.98. Mr. Charles A. Pierce took out a 20-year Endowment in the Northwestern, March 25, 1SS5, at ago 10, for $2000, No. 133171, pre- mium $111.10. Raising the ligures to $2000, for accurato comparisoii with the Nortlnvestern, the dividend rcsult to date is as followrs : Northwestern, Pfemium $111.10 Gasti Dividend oM886, None. 1887, $22.11 23.34 24:60 53.73 1888, 1889, 1890. $123.78 The Northwestern pays no dividend at commencoment of second yoar, but givos a doublo dividend dividends of tho Noitliwestorn are six of the New York Life. The difference in premium is Pierce taken ont his policy at ago of bnt $92.88, and his dividends more than thoso given by tho New York Tho above pollcies compriso the year endowment in the Northwestern endowment in the New York Life in this village.

In this comparlson tho Northwestern is at conslderable dlsadvant age, from tho fact tliat Mr. Pierce has taken liis dividends In cash, whilo Mr. Potter has allowed his dividends to purcliaso additions tohis policy, and a polcy carrjing condltlons has PRESDMABLY, larger dividends than one which does not.
