,*Y * What is Tontine Instirauce P: \ '.' <i . *-r^^ji;j : ■■-.■■•■; (Tofte Editor.) •;:•' * v *" /jLSiß.—llm\ono desire to oraplc f t columns foi discussing the rivi t ' ( okirns of the different'lnsurant offices, but, for "the benefit of tb public, who hitvo certainly been vei \ generally misinformed on the subjee > and in the interests of the principle of hfe insurance, I find it uecessai < to put your leaders on their guai ■with respect to the real nature of tl Tontine contiact. In the grei majority of cades, I find holders i Tontine policies wider some of tl following iuipiessions :-(l) That tli sura assured is payablo at the end < theToutine period; or (2) that tli assured has nothing more to pay t the end of that period; or (8) thi the assured has he right to drav at the end of the Tontine perioc all piomiuuib paid. into th Society, with compound interos I at veiy hbeial iatcs. All thos I aie utterly fak , 1 rc B ret say that those wb Y Moor under thorn have been cruell I deceived. Tontine policies contai 1 absolutely no condition of any valu I that ib not common to ordinar f policies, but tlioy do contain a ver tenons restriction. Tontiue, asru | in these Colonies by the' America! offices, the Colonial Mutual aud Ne^ Zealand Government 'refers ''only t I the profits, which, instead: of hero; i divided yearly, as m tlio Australia! Mutual Proudent, are held by tb office, and divided nt the end of thi Tontine penod. Tontine insurant does not mean an Endowment''pay able in a certain number of years [ it is not a limited time paymen it simply means o de/eim bonus, payable to those who live am continue their policies till the end o the period; and those who leave tin feety or' die in the meantimi 'W™ :: ■ their profits. It is con . tended that the survivors at tin end of the Tontine period will drav extraprofits,in which case suchadvan tages must come from the unfortu nate members who drop out, or ton the widows and orphans of deeeasec :■'-■ members, whose profits are forfeited '-nfjKo the general fund, I have notliinj 1 to say against theprinciple of Tontini so long astpeople go hi for the schemi , with their eyes open. Certainly : should prefer to bo in a position t< draw my profits when it suited me t< do bo, and I fancy that the widows and orphans of the deceased mem bersaremoroinneedofthoir bomu , addition thim the members who art living at the expiration of the twelve, fifteen, or twenty years during which 'the office withholds the profits. Tin object of my letter is, howover, tc point out the fact that a wide-spread misapprehension exists among those ■who have taken up tontiue policies, and this applies with equal force tc the members of everyone of the f"ices transacting . this form ol fiuess. The paid up policy, nuity, surrender value, fa., sc frequently paraded as' striking features of Tontine policies, are obtainable under any other policy within.two years of the issue of such policy.;!..■ Anally, as an illustration, let me'give aluiost'a perfect parallel of the tontiue system:—Suppose the case of a man who goes to the bank with £2O which heintends to deposit /at a fixed rate of interest, say G per ' JLcont, from year to year. Themauacomes out smiling very blandly ".and says: "We cau do a good deal . better for you than that. Deposit with us regularly the sum of L2O every year for tbenoxt fifteen years. We shall fix no definite rate of interest.; of course you can leave that to the generosity of the Com - pany. Ifyou die before the expiration of the fifteen years you forfeit your interest. You shall have no :'-, a|t to draw any interest during the :;• WB{ If you fail in any of your annual .payments you lose both interest aud principle. The Bank ■■''. meanwhile, shall have the use of your money, and at the end of the " ■ ■ • period will give you what the direc- . tors think tit." Then the manager produces an e«frw«fe, but declines to • give any guarantee as to the enormous advantages the depositor may .derive from the venture, Would any of your readers so deposit their monoy ? Would it not take a very bland smile and a very enticing estimate to induce them to fall in with the banker's plans? Still he only proposes a simple contract of tontine in almost every respect similar to that'recently introduced into this Colony by the American Life Offices, -and subsequently adopted by two of jour Colonial institutions. - : •. * lam Ac, ' : fl D.
