mH B TONTINE SYSTEM. Wo have now bororo us a series of lottors written to the " I'olicy-holder" by an " Associute of the Institute of Actuaries," on tho Tontino System, and Es'imates of tho New York Lifo limiranoo Company and tho Kquitublo Ijife As aurnnce Society of tho United States. It teems that both these otllccs liave been, and aro issuing with profit; endowment assurance and limited premium policies in the following fashion -If aeath occurs before the endowment matures, or before all premiums on tho policy have been paid up, only the sum assured is handed to the nolicy-holder's representative, oven although the rato of premium has been 11 with profits." And in the uvent of n policy • holder from any causo fulling to pay his premium, ho gsts no surrender value — the wholo reservo is confiscated. By theao means it Is hoped, by tho two ollicrs in question, that policies which have not ccaaed to exist by death or lapse will, on maturity, roap exceptionally largo profits. Tho system seems to us, in itself, an exceedingly objectionable one and nothing moro or luss than KMiiblin.'. It is directly contrary to the true spirit of life assarancp. In true lifo assurancn the policy-holders " bear each it her's burdens;" in this system ea strive? to net as much as he can at the expense of his neighbour. Wo are not at all surprised to Ilnd it not universally popalar on the other Bide of the Atlantic, and that it has even become tho sub ject of inimical legislation. But bad aa tho system is in itself, even worse is the manner in which these two otlices appear to bo working it. Alluring "estimates" a8 to what those poll j-holdera may expect who reach the promised land of the Tontino system are sot Forth in the prosppewsos of these companies "oatimates" which it would be mildness itself to call grossly exaggerated, Tho " Associate of the Institute of Actuaries" has provpd tins most completely. In fact. Ma statements aro mathematically unanswerable, ami wa have no doubt thero will bo no attempt made to answer them. The only thing that causes us to treat seriously such estimates is tho fact that there is one element in their calculation of which different people may take different views, namely, the number of lapses that will occur. We do not blune tho actuaries who calculated these estimates for takiiiK an optimist view of the number of such lapses; but tho lino must bo drawn somewhere, nnd an "Associate of the Inaatuto of Actuaries " has conclusively shown that tho lino in this caso has been very elastic indeed, and that, in fact, Ihese ebtimatca might also bodescribetl as works of imagination. Besides, wo boo no escape from this conclusion that, sinco a lapse involves so much loss, there will be strenuous efforts made tp keep tho as surance Roinjj, and so the lapse among Tontine policies will be fewor tlmn anionpr ordinary policies. Wo regret to have to writo so severely on this matter, but a series of estimates that will nevor bo realised will mako every Tontino policy-holder, when ho finds hiineelf dis appointed, an agent not for b»t ajrajnst. lifo as surance, and thus legitimate life business will in the end have to pay for such " enterprise " as wo aro dpnouncinir.—lnsurance Agent News paper, Lonrton, Isf July, >844. rriHE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE JL SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES, OPINIONS OF THE LEAf ING BRITISH ACTUARIES.
