LIFE ASSUR ANCE FAILURE I. From the K. T. Evening iit. The course of State Superintendent Miller, in scrutinizing with severity the condition of the life insurance companies, and compelling those of them which cannot offer entire safety to their clients to close their business, natu rally attracts general attention and comment. It is certainly very important to the publio that the protection extended to them by the laws of the State, against fraudulent or unsafe policies of assurance, be real, and not a mere trap to catch and betray their confidence. Hut the sequestration of the property and money of corporations, in the hand of "re ceivers," for the purpose of winding up an intricate business, is an extreme measure, bo wasteful in itself, and bo shocking to pu')lio credit, that it ought not to be adopted except in cases of necessity. Mr. Miller has instituted legal proceediag-4 against two life insurance oompanies, known, the one as the Great Western, the other as the Farmers' and Mechanics'. These compa nies were of no great importance in them selves; both are among the youngest, the smallest, and the least successful of their class. Their failure, in itself, raises no pre sumption whatever that any of the large, well-known companies of old standing are weak at any point. Still less does it give any reason for distrusting the business in general, when the previous history of these two oompanies is known. The Farmers' and Mechanics Life Insur ance Company was founded in 18G!), as the successor to the Manhattan Co-operative Re lief Association. It was organized and con ducted by the managers of that association, and was for most of its short life conducted on the same principles; that is to say, it in curred obligations without any reference whatever to the scientific laws' of life assur ance, and in return for the contributions of "co-operative" members. Its business was very small, its expenses enormous, and it never succeeded in obtaining publio confi dence. The Great Western Life Insurance Company was organized at the beginning of the year . 18GC, by the officers and directors of the late Goodhue Fire Insurance Company. That com pany had impaired its capital by its manage ment, and had been required by the State In surance Department either to .make its capital good or to reinsure its risks. Not being able to make it good, it reinsured its risks with other oompanies; and, its capital being re duced to $115,000, this was taken by the same directors and officers, with the consent of the stockholders, and put into "a life business." These gentlemen had had their previous ex perience in fire insurance, and may be sup posed to have been less familiar with the prin ciples of life assuranoe. Certainly their fail ure has been a disastrous one. On discovering that a life assurance com pany is not strong enough to make its busi ness safe, the State Department has its choioe of two modes of procedure. It may either bring the company into oourt, and have a re ceiver appointed, or it may require the com pany to reinsure all its risks with some ap proved company, and retire from business. In the former case the assets ef the company are not unlikely to be seriously reduced by the legal fees and costs inonrred; and, in some conspicuous instances of the kind, large sums have disappeared, almost niagioally. Certainly policy-holders in general are not likely to have much confidence that their trust will be managed with rigid economy for their benefit, when in the Lands of our New York courts. On the other hand, if the superintendent requires the company to reinsure its polioies it must, (or the purpose, not only use all the money it has in band, but assess its stock holders a further sum, if necessary, even to tne full amount 01 tneir siock. it appears trom tne published statement of the two companies now in the hands of reoeivers, that they would both have been able thus to reinsure their policies with any of the best companies in this city, although not able safely to continue business with their own extravagant outlay; and that only one of them would have had to assess its stockhold ers, and that one but moderately. Under these circumstances, there should have been some very strong reason, unknown to the public, to justify the superintendent in dragging these companies into the courts, and subjecting the funds of the people now in their hands to the danger of Iobs and waste in the tedious processes of law; as well as in shocking the publio confidenoe in the life in surance business in general, by proclaiming before the world as a failure the weakness of these oompanies, which might, it appears, be so managed as to involve no loss whatever, except to the stockholders of the companies themselves. " THE WEST AND PROTECTION. Frmn the Chicago Bureau. Believing, as we do, that a correct publio sentiment and wiaefgislation upon the sub ject of protiTon he at the foundation of our natlocsi prosperity, and that the domi nant political influence of the country is henceforth to come from the Valley of the Mississippi, it becomes to as a question of the first importance what are really the opi nions of the masses at the West on this sub ject. In all past disoussions it has been assumed that this leading question of political eoonomy found its advocates on tne one Biae, and its opponenta on the other, of the AUeghanl ea and that when protection was advocated, it was in the interests of New England and Pennsylvania; or free trade defended, the great West was the section to be benefitted by the triumph of that policy. With this conviction, appeals have been made to the West for support by both parties: the one with confident assuranoe of the result; the other with faint heart, as if the issue were already a foregone conclusion. Both parties to these views are mistaken. We predict that in the settlement of this question for a generation at least that will be made within i he next two years, more ardent and reliable support will be found to the dootrine of pro lection in this section of the Union than in any other. Surfaoe indications would give a different impression. To suppose, for instance, the Chicago Tribune, in its free trade or revenue reform advocacy, truly reflected the ODinions of our city and iti vicinity, would be to ignore the decided results of the list election, where ir. went worth, entering the canvass pledged to the Tribune clique and free trade, was defeated, by a large vote, by Mr. i arweu, wuo is Known to sustain, ana was pledged to support, a policy in direct opposition to that journal upon this subject. The position of the working classes at the polls, as clearly seen at this time, also, would give upon the naked ques tion of free trade or protection, if now pre sented, a majority, in Cook oounty alone, of fifty thousand for the .latter, as the true American policy. No intelligent man will dispute thip; and it has been admitted ia our hearing, by the leading men of the revenue reform circles here, within the month past. - In common with almost all our large com mercial centres, there is concentrated here, for the entire West, the strength of the free trade sentiment of the community. If yon go from here into the country, to any point of the compare, yon find under the silent influence of the coal, iron, and other mineral beds, which are waiting for development, a mighty public opinion, that looks to protection as the agency by which these ores are to sec the light, and benefit the nation. Around all manufacturing centres, like Elgin, Joliet, Milwaukee, and soores of others that could be named, the farmers, to a man, will prove by their experience the value of a near market to them, for both the volume and variety of their products. In a little meeting in Cook county, at the recent election, it was said to one of the speakers an Irishman, who incidentally alluded to and commended protection senti ments by half a dozen , German farmers who were present: "lnose are our, senti ments. We do not wish to raise wheat for Liverpool, but garden sauce for a factory at our next door, lhis was the way in Ueor- many, and we want that kind of a market here." Now, what is true of the county of Cook is true of the counties of Central Illi nois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri. covering those vast deposits of mineral wealth, the opening up of whioh will transfer the centres of manufacture from tne sea board to the West. Are not the fifteen fur naces but recently erected in the single State of Indiana the avant-antreurs, as evidence of the truth of this last statement ? And can you convince the farmers near those furnaces, whose lands, because of their proximity, Lave risen from ten and twenty dollars per acre, in some cases, to two hun dred and fifty and three hundred dollars, with a home market for all they can raise, that these new enterprises are of no benefit to them? Some of these very farmers have fur nished the labor or possessed the markets of Germany, Belgium, Franoe, and England; and they know too well the nature of the competition to which these industries by their side would be subjected by free trade, to ap prove or support a policy that would bring the pauper products of liUropo into competi tion with our own. More than ever is it to be our mission while we reach the manufacturing and mer cantile classes with our regular monthly issues of this magazine to furnish to these farmers, mechanics, and laborers thousands of tracts from our press, for their enlighten ment and future guidance on this question. We know from evidence in our possession of recent date, from observant men in Europe, such and much othor effort will be needed to controvert the influence of literature sent out by contributions from our enemies, that our countrymen may be converted to the faith of British free trade. It may be that In the purliens of our great seaboard cities this work of foreign emissaries shall be effec tual, lint Its us Lave the subject before the nation at once and in definite form, and the enemies of our industries at home or abroad will speedily awake to the conviction, it is one thing to subsidize or silence a few newspapers in the land, and quite another to induce citizens of the United States, or what ever nationality by birth, to indorse a policy tatal to tne growth ana permanence ot our manufacturing interests. Is there evidence ot this assertion asked lor f It may be seen in the recent election, alluded to, in our city. The so-called leading journal of the Northwest, with the banner of free trade nailed to its mast-head, backed by money from the btewarts, of New York, and British manufacturers, entered the lists, and was defeated in the most humiliat ing manner by protectionists, and not the least remarkable aspect of the case by Irish protectionists, upon whom for years it had rained down its spleen and contumely I We enter upon the conflict before us with full assurance that the principles we contend for are just; that they are to be presented as rights, to which Americans are entitled; and that victory will be ours by the adoption, in an overwhelming majority, of protection to home industry as the permanent policy in American institutions. Will the politicians of the country do the masses of the West the simple justice to give them as the leading issue in the next campaign, 1'rotection vs. Free Trade? TOE CASE FOR THE PACIFIC ROADS. From the X. Y. Tribune. Having set forth our entire concurrence with Messrs. Boutwell and Akerman in their construction given to the acts whereby the United States extended aid to the construc tion of the only line yet completed of rail- 1 m a. V erf T A A 1 n . a roaa irom tne juissouri to tne raacramento, we are willing te give the oompanies a fair hearing. Here is their first bulletin: Union Pacific Kiilroad Company, Jan. 1, 1871.

Without critioallv soanninff the above state merit, we freely admit the general truth that the Government has saved a very large amount in the cost of transporting its mails and provisioninc- its military pouts, by the early construction of the two tracka whioh together form our only complet6d railroad to the racino. We will go further, and say tuat the raoifio Railroad doubles the efficiency of our military forces in the overland oountry, by facilitating the prompt transfer of troops and munitions from Territory to Territory, and their rapid concentration upon any as- bailed or threatened point. Had this highway existed in lb.7, the mormon expedition ot that vear would probably have been unneoes- Rftrv. and. at the worst, its oost, and the suffer- inga it entailed, would nave ieen reuuueu to a fraction. Vie, advocated the vifforous construction of the creat work known in halves as the llninn" and the "Central" racine, and re joice that we did so. We still maintain that this great hiKhway was not created a day too soon. We never en-ected that it could be thus constructed without large aid from the United State;); and we never grudged the sub sidies actually given. As to publio lands, we bold that the Government has prftctioally far more, after giving these roads all they can fairly claim, than it bad before they were const ructed; since it has millions more from wbich civilized men can draw subsistence. We differ from the managers of these roads essentially as we differ from the present directors of the French struggle against des tiny. We hold that those managers aooepted their trust subject lo the obligations incurred, the state of things created, by their prede cessors that the present grave embarrass ments of the "Union raoifio" are . the result of the gigantic prodigalities, 'incapacities, and rascalities of their predecessors, who impelled and directed the construction of their work and that the evil onsennenoes of these misdoings should be borne by the stockholders of the road, not by the people of the United States. Such is onr Malakoff. DIVIDENDS, ETOi j-cg- PHILADELPHIA AND reading rail HUAU CUJUrANl, umce ItO. il BUUIB FOURTH Street. PtiiLAPKLrniA, Dec. 84, 1ST0.
