to-$50 weekly indemnity for whothy diewbling in- jury by accident, not to exceed twenty-six weeks for any one accident, at an annual cost of $5 to $10 per thousand for occupations vet specially hazardous. Hazardous risks taken at higher rates

Life Department.

In its Life Department, the Travellers grants fall Lite and Endownmieut Policies, embracing the best features of the best companies, but witvout the complications or the uncertainties or the note system. It sells Insurance rather than future ‘“*dividends.”’ Its contract is a plain one, its secu- rity isample and unquestioned, and its rates of premivm are exceedingly low. It prefers to do business on a cash basis, and thus gives its policy- | holders advantages not attainable under the credit | eystem.

Premium system, the favorite low rate cash |

plan. All policies non-forfeitable. Its ten, fifteen and twenty year policies can be converted into Endow- |

|

ments, at the option of the insarant. This feature |

ds.oviginal with this Company.

The Travellers’ furnish everything desirable in

either Life or Accident Insurance. It has issued | 215 000 genera! accident :policies and Paid Four- | teen Thonsand Claims for death or injary by ac- | cident; the amount thas retarned to,poliay holders | averaging about Seven Hundred Poliars-a ‘Day for evere working day during theypast seven years. In its Life departmentit has written 11.300 po- licies; and its Low Rate Cash Plan iis steadily growing in favor with the insuring public.

Example of Life Rates.

Phe hdider of « policy for $4000 will pay an-an nualpremium of $7020, which will cost in-most other courpauies very nearly $90. Llence the as- sured can secure in the Travellers a Life Policy for over $5000 ‘for the sume-aunual premiam xs charged Ly other companies tor only $1000, and | the iusurance take effect from date of policy with- | out waiting tor bonus additions, ci ure uucer- tain, and at best require the assured to have a | unurantee of life for a number of years in order te realize.

Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: | On Wednesday evening last, [ landed upon your shores for the first time. For many

} $500 to $10,000 againat Death by Accident, and $3/| years past I have heard your Island highly

‘spoken eff by my countrymen, but [ am disappointed in finding it 80 much superior to anything I expected. During a short

jed of some of the English landscapes —the

Deautiful valley of the Connecticut, and the seenery around Springfeid, 1 was remind-

(ed of what a Paradise your Island would be if you could get strong drink banished out of it. Nowhere could it be more easily

‘done. You are cut off from the Continent,

and form a little community by yourselves: |

you have a Local Parliament and Govern- ment, and can coatro! your own affairs, and therefore have this matter altogether io your own hands. You-can consult your interesis, and are not under the necessity of asking the consent of any other government —not even that of the British Government— to the mesure passed by your Legislature You can promote your own intersts, mental, moral and social. There can be no mistake in saying that the virtuous and pious part of the people control public opinion and sentiment among you; it is not the vicious who lead the the people. The opinions of the wise and good prevail ameng you, end the .responsibility of the Liquor Traflic, therefore. rests upon them. If that part of the people are satisfied wita the results of the traffic, it will rewain in ;our mids:, aad expand to far greater proporticns ; but if che virtuous part of the people choose to sce as tney ought, the terrible mischiefs of the traffic, and address them ebves to the work of emancipation, it will be -easy ‘for them to carry ‘it-out. Inthe great city of New York, the good do not centro! public opivsion ; butit is quite different on this Is- land,—it is for the viriuous to say what the intersts of the peop!e here require. The latter have but to say what snall be done, and it will be done. I, theretore, charge the pious, intelligent, and edveated part of the people with the responsibility of -intemper- ance and its results. It can hardly be con- ceived that a vast amount of ignorance exists among muititudes of men and women, in reference to a matter which concerns the interests of society as mo other question Joes orean. ‘Ls it not astonishing that peo ple who do not think themse ves ignorant ou social, commercial, scieutific, historical and other matters, should be so profoundly ignorant in reference to the evils of the Lquor Traffic which affects every man’s pocket, and the general interests of the sta'e tosolargeanextent, We bave to ba- lance the advantages and disadvan:ages of the traffic in-intoxivating drinks,in order to find the real state of the matter. Sume persons cry ou! for changes of one kind acd some for those of another; and on the other hand, mulii udes olject to those changes, For instance,in my county there is a movement calied the Woman’s Rghs movement, and matiy exeellent people gu about agitating for a politics! stetus for women. are others who think there are advantages

meo, under the preséat law ; and it will be some years before this question will be fisa!- ly settled. The disndvantages to the state arising from the traffie in intox cating drinks are greater thau those resulting from all

other evils comb ned. The good done by- it

to the state and the people does not amoun'

to a shilling, while the mischiefs done by it! are greater than thowe arising from al other evils Does anybody deny this? Nobody.

Everybody ad wits it ; itis a plaia proposi- two. That the | quor treffic is ao infi.ire mischief to the state and society, is clear to all. That Leing the case, is 't aot a little extraordinary that a peop!e like those 1 see | bzfore me. having tbeir own government in | their own hands, haviog clear convic*ions of

the right, is itnot eatraordinary tbat they

should aliow such « trade to exist among them. The 'iquor dealers make fortunes | out of the traffic, an’ declare that it is pro-| ductive of good, But aceording to the old proverb, * Money tha" comes over the devii’s

buck is sure to go under his belly.’ You

have liquor dealeis amoag you every penny

o! whose fortuces represent a sigh, a groan

or a tear of some unfortunate wile or

daughter, Every pounc of those fortunes

represents the hunger, cold and suffering

of some miserab!e wretches, and should bave been used to supply ordiaary wants. Is it

not a little extraordinary that there should be such a Ciiference of opinion a nong youon this subject, whea you see people going to the devil before our faces, and deliberately stepping down! down! down! till they are finally ruined forever! You see this every- where. Theae is, therefore, no protection for the people from ibis enormous evil, ex- cept by entirely abstaining rom the use of intoxicating drinks, But many people have not such opinions in reference to the liquor trafic. It is very extraordinary that such is the case. We temperance people do not see how there can be avy difference of opin- ion about this ; we cannot see how an intel- ligent man can makea mistake about it.

| We declare that these liquors are a poison

‘to both body and soul ; but people just 2s intelligent as we do vot agree with us on this matter. They te!l us it is perfectly safe and right to drink, but that we sbould not drink too much. Drink moderately, say they. '

Ll ask you how many of your comrades you have seen going down to a drunkards grave, who began with moderate drinking Sotere is this great Doetor of Divinity with all bis experience, still a moderate drinker. There is another question which I woud put te this great preacher. It is this. ‘Doctor, you advise the perple of this country toa line of life that involves great peril ; you admit there is danger is such a course, that many moderate drinkers are falling into habits of intemperance ; you do not deny that there issome danger atiending it, Does a man encounter danger without some consideration or remuneration.?” ‘Not genera!ly so. When he does so, he isa foo!.? Ona the coast of Rho?e Island there is a steep chasm, clelt or gully, wide at the mouth, but get- ting uarrower inwards—so narrow, indeed, that boys often amuse themselves by leaping across it.from side to side. On one occa- sion, some boys were competing with each other in showing who could leap the furihest out, and they went on leaping over wider /and still wider part of the deep chasm. One | of them wishing to distinguish himself, and |prove bimself a hero, tried to leap over a | wider part than usual, missed, aud went down eome ninety feet, and was instantly killed. (I am not talking to the Doctor, now). ‘That boy died likea fool; he mere- ly wanted to have it said of him that he could jump a litile farther than anybody else. This was similar to the wisb of a fat pig who wished to get fatter than any other pig, | in order that when he was killed, it might, be saidof him that he was the fattest pig. Such: feats as these were just like that which the Doctor had tried; but be succeeded in jumping over the chasm sifely and reaching old age, while millions of his fellow men be- come drunkards and died the drunkard’s death. Others encounter imminent danger and great peril, in order to benefit theirfew- low-men, and save their lives.

I read a short time ago, in an newspaper an account of the saving of a great sbip with all ber crew from destruction, She was observed off a rocky bound coast in a

human aid by a poor fisherman, who with some comrades, was looking after his boa's. The meu were gazing at the ship and one of them remarked that she wae too near the shore, if she kept on ber present tack, to escape being dashed to pieces. ‘The fisher- man, seeing her terrible position and the fate which awaied her, if some effort wa» not made to save her, said to his compan- ions, ** Come let us try to save her,’’ lis) comrades declared that no boat cou'd live through such a sea, and that the ship could not be reached by any power of theirs. No more was said for a little while, when the fisherm .n again said, ** don't stand bere and see the ship go down, let us try to save her.”? “ Very well said the cthers, if you choose, let us try’? They then took a whale-boat ard made their way through the foaming breakers which !ashed each other in tremendous fury, now sinking down into the trough of the sea, and now rising to (he top of:ome crested wave, exerting all their strength, and in the greatest danger of being overwhelmed by the roaring sea. The people on shore who were Spectators of the siruggie, at times, when the boat des- cended deep into the sea, believed them lost, but they reached a ship, A rope was flung to them from the sh'p, fas‘ened round the pilot, and he was hauled aboard = Afier taking bis breath a little, the pilora ked the captain what sort ofa ship he had) “ A) very five ship said the captain, said the pilst,’’?

IL would say to them; in such a case, ‘ step acress to the south side of your Island and see what Mr so and so has accomplished by practising this system of farming, See how superior it is, and at how much less cost it is ecarricd on, They would go and see for themselves and ascertain whether my advise is wise or pot. Of course they would. If they jound the system superior to their own, they would go heme and ad- opt it. It woud be just the same in man- ufacturing or any other pursuit.

Now, young people, we advise you to let drink-alone.s aud here is my friend the Yocror of Divinity advising you to drink moderately, io order that you may be able to judge between us, we are going to have a review of ull the cruvkards and all ihe teetote'ers in the country, tc-night, Let us suppo-e they are all present and that you young people are looking on.

You will find us, generally, friends of law and order; you won't find teetotalers io mobs or committing crimes of any sort; you will find that they respect property and the rights of-other people; you won’t find them iu jails or houses of correction, While

io England, | was in the great jail of

Preston, and found that the average num ber of prisoners in it was fifteen hundred The jailorsaid he bad been there fourteen years und had never known a teetotaler to oe imprisoned in that jail during the whole of that peried. One-:bird of the prisoners had been Sabbath-School Children, but there were no teetotalers there. Now we are going to examine the people who ¢riok, Is the front ranks you find no mark of strong drink upon them, and if you ask a question you receive a proper answer, Go a little tarther down the ranks aod you fled that their tongues are @ litte thick, and that they answer rather ¢'upidly. Go farther down etill, and you will find their .clothes out at the knees and elbows, and their countenances bloated and disfigured. These are the persons who commit three-fourths of all the crimes committed in this country Those crimes may be enumerated as fo'lows: iarceny, felony, house-breaking, house-burn- ing, riots acd murders. This class of peo- ple pay no respect to the rights of other people and do not recogn:ze the principles which govern all well-regulated communi- ties, Now, yourg people judge between the iwo classes, the moderate drinkers and the teetotalers, Go to the work-honses: it is those who use strong drink, who fill up ‘hose places as well as the jails and houses of correction, You see the wives and children of those people in the gutters, io rags, and in a half-starvel state, wanting the common necessaries of life. It is this class of people that constitutes the mobs and dangerous c'asses of all our great cities Are any of these the children of teetotalers ? No, notata'l. Judge between those who use strong drink and the teetotalers. No} less than 60,00) of those who indulge in| the use of strong drink, die a horrid death | every year! You find no siekness among |

| his right to it?

people of Prince Kdward Island have your Government io your own bands, you have the regulation of your owa affairs. Why not abolish this terrible evil from your Is- land, it isio your power todo so, The ed- ucation of the young is the deepest interest you have; it is of the deepest interest to society and to the state to preserve the young from bad influences. 1 wasin the city of Detroit a few summers ago, and one eveaing delivered an address ia one of their churches. The pulpit of that church bad, on one of its gas lizhts, a large glase globe, aod playing around tais was a great Dum- ber of moths which were continually fall- ing ino the light and scorehing their wings, aed in a short time the apholstering of the pulpit was covered with the bodies of those silly woths. J called the attention of the people to it, ahd remarked that those of them who frequented the.grog-shops «were just like those silly movhs, and were doing just the same thing, Ltook my +anaker- chief and bru bed them all away. That was ‘moral suasion.’? Butio a few minutes ‘here were as many around the lamp, sine | g2ing their wing, as ever, and their bodies jtell as fast as ever. I then turned out the gas and no more moths singed themselves,

Turn out your grog--hops, and the liquor trafic will ce.se. ‘Lhere is no other way in which it canbe done. No, there’s ov other way itcan bedone Extinguish your grog- shops and you put down the liquor traffic, Perhaps you say that that would be iuter- fering with the rights of the subject : that’s what they say ia Kogland. I was talking with an English geutieman in Eogland, pot long ago, woo remarked that it would be a long tune before L-could persuade Koglish- meo from doing what they like. We all know that there is no coantry in the world where the laws interfere more with the.

ple and prevent them from doing what they like, thaa in Kugland! They bavo a great mony laws there, to prevent the people from doing what they like. That which best promotes the éaterest of the state conduces to the general good. aud must not be. inter- tered with by individual ioterests, Indivi- dual liberty is nothing when it comes in eon- tact with the gevera! good of the state, The welfare of the people is the supreme law pow, just as much as it was in the time of Augustus, Individual right must always give way when itclashes with the interests of the state. Perbaps; strictly speaking, there is no such thing as unqualified indivi- dual right, There is no country in the world where property:is guarded more care- fully aod safely than in Kuglaod, and ‘even there no wan bas a right to property «vhen it conflicts with the public good, The same princip'e applies in many otaer ways, Men nave an ivalievable right to liberty and the pursuit ef happiness.so far as they do net luterfere with the interests of the state.

As to |personal liberty, when a man commits a ‘crime, he gets a fair trial and the verdict is rendered ‘ this man’s liberty is inconsis- tent with the geueral goud be has forfeited His liberty is then taken away because the general good requires it; he is confined or put where he canaot iater- fere with the good of the state.
