existing policies or vrito new ones. should con-
vince tho people Of Chicago Of tue nacesaity Of
doing something for themselves The time and
circumstances aro nov opportune for the estab-
lishmont Of a great homo company upon n
Bafe foundation. For such company there
il ample room, inasnuch as there is at
present doaconoy Of insnranco cap
itat In tho country. Tho losses OF tint
capital caused by tho Chicago fro Of 1871 and the
Boston Gre Of tho following year hayo not boon
fully restored, hardly enough in fact to produce
n healthy competition. Tho market, therefore,
vill not bo oyerstockod by tho establishment Of
such company here. There ia in fact no good
reason why IT should not do largo buslueus
throughout tho country generally. Its equally
certain tLat the b,1sincaa will be profitable For
thirty or forty years Chicago has been one Of
tic best patrons Of insurance in this country.
During all THU time, tue conditions OF secnrity

pauics reapcl rich harvest and uado largo
