THE TONTINE 'PLAN.

SYSTEM OF GAMBLING ON LIVES DEVISED "TO RAISE ROYAL REVENUE,

One of the most conspicuous hangers on of the early court of Louis XIV, was a costain Lorenzo Togli, a Neopolitan banker. Tonti was one of that numerous brood of speculators who found so fruitful a field for exploitation in the European courts of the seventeenth cen tury, Ofan adventurous disposition, unlimited personal resource and unbounded, confidence

himself and his schemes, he readily w ramed way lato the royal favour, became a con- fidential secretary to Cardinal Mazarin, a pen- slonar of the Crown and a

I a valued adviser on all financial affairs. He abounded in ingenious devices for increasing the rational revenue, paying off the debts of the clergy, erecting great public works and building up the foreign trade, especially in the East Indies and the South Seas. At one time he aroused much speculative interest lo a plan for stimulating the growth of allkworms, by planting mulberry trees on all the highways of France.

His fame

· rests almost entirely upon the fact, however, that he was the laventor of that scheme of gambling on human lives now generally known as tontine.

Tonti first proposed, his plan to Mazarin in 1655. Like Mazarin, however, he was an Italian and therefore personally unpopular, Parliament refused to register the undertaking: and the public, in a spirit of ridicule, gave it its present nickname of testine. Toof himself soon forfeited the royal patronage; lost his Pender, artan ere he now known

as a prisoner in the Bastille. Thence he Sadited many appealing letters to the King and Colbers, describing his misery and poverty and continually harping, upon the advantages of testine. One of his sope was that Chevalier Tonti whose adventures among the Indians of the Northwest with a Salle and Iberville is. one of the romances of early American history

King Fais, although he neglected, poor | Tontit himself, never entirely abandoned his "scheme. In 1689 when surrounded by a Eur-

opean coalition, hafassed for money and unable, to borrow further from the bankers or to wring another penny in taxes from his exhausted

railed 1,400,000 he резвалу. livres on the

contipe, plan. He followed. precisely the programme mapped out by Tonti

more than thirty years before. He invited subscriptions, at 300 livres each, to a general fund. He agreed to pay the lotal netest on this fund to all surviving subscri- bers. Each member's shire of the income was to cease at death and revert to those who still lived. Each member's income, that incressed in proportion to the deaths of his associate. It was clearly a lottery in annuities la which the prizes went to the long, lived members. It acquired popularity because of this gambling feature and because it apparently promised a provision for old age. Its essential advantage to the King was that the capital fund itself need never 6: redeemed. It was a State loan that is upon which interest only was and which was entirely liquidated when ile final survivor died.

King Louis's first lontine apparently had a successful career. I met all its obligations fairly and continued until 1726. The solitary survivor was a widow, one Charlotte Barbier, who died in her mintysixth year At that time she drew an annual incoma of

70,000 tires, in return for an original subscription of 300. King Louis and his successors frequently utilized this method of supplementis, the public fund, In the eighteenth century private speculators also established a large number of tonlines; in France there was little less than a tontine craze. Nearly all these private undertakings, how. ever, ended disastrously To most instances the tontics minagers were dishonest, The greatest private sontine, the Cuisse La Farge, cheated the public out of nearly 65,00,000 francs. Dishonesty was inherent in the plan Itself Tanti did not devise his original scheme in the interest

rest of the people, but

of the Govern ment. "I believe this is an easy way," he wrote, to Colbert from the Bastille, the King may get several inillions from hist people which would never be subject to re- demption, The King might use them to re- deem his domain, and for the execution of other designs This might be done without ite being known. It transforms France into gold miss for the monarchy Private capi tallets adopted the plain in an identical spirit: to gel a large capital fund which they might

Co purposes and use for their own immediate which they-naver-nsed pay.h.ck. Their spiad. lings became so outrageous that ultimately the State prohibited tootines by law. In England and America the idea was chiefly utilized no a method of raising money for public buildings and hotels. In this case the property was held intact and ultimately divided among cert in dominatedsurvivors. The Tantine Coffee House in New York, at Wall and Pearl streets, was constructed on this basis. These enterprisna . also usually failed of complete success. To

ward the close of the eighteenth century there Wat no more odious word in Europe than fon. tine-AcClure's Magazine.
