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.

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:

It will have saved to date $T,u,l99iio
Or more than one-quarter of tne wnoie
amount of bonds Issued.
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.
