June, the day that Congress is to ad-

every car.wheel in the United States,

The City of Hartford, where the COnnecti-
cut Legislature is now in session, is known
throughout the country as an insurance CEN
ire. Its fire insurance companies are known
everywhere for their sOundness and stability,

been, I'D to q recent period, equally good. Nat
urally enough there is some sensitiveness in
the public mind in such q community at any
thing that threatens the prosperity of so i'm
pOrtant an interest But the people of Hartford
and the Connecticut Legislature will do well
to remember that the only way to promote the
prosperity of life insurance now is to restore
public confidence in it, and that can only be
done by laying bare the whole business and
offering to the public any and all safeguards
against future loss which legislation can af-

wisdom Of everything that looks like an effort
to control or influence legislative action is
very evident. The only thing life insurance

New-York tribune., 1878-01-18

The Connecticut Lc, Siatnrc Will make a
arlouS mistake if, during the session just be-
gun, it even seems to eyade or resist inves-
tigation Of the most thorough and searching
character into the management of its life in
snrance companies. During the discussion in
the newspapers OF candidates for the Speaker
ship of the House, IL was intimatcd, il not
opcnly charged, that Judgc Briscoc, who has
since been elected Speaker, was the candidate
of the Insurance interests which centre III

found in the fact that he WIS the law part

years the Deputy Insurance Commissioner, and
whose conduct of the business of the Office
having been severely criticised. world proba-
bly be made subject of investigation and in
the further fact that he wao strongly urged by
persons more or less interested III Insurance.
IL has also been charged that the insurance
interest was organized TO control the Logisla
tulc and defeat invest CATION; anG the Tact that
several insurance men, among whom is the
Deputy referred to, are members of the
House, is pointed to i'll proof thereof
A staff correspondent OF The TRIBrNE at
Hartford few days since, directed
attention To the appearance of Mr.. Speaker
Briscoc rs counsel for the Insnrance Commits
sioner in the Charter Oak case, and the APP
pointmcnt Oh the Insurance Committee
Of the Vicc-Presidcnt of the Continental
Life of Hartford-rcported in difficulties
as additional facts which at least give
color to the suspicion that the Speaker is not
entirely free from cntanglemert. The sus-
picions may be entirely groundlcss; we hope
they are. But it cannot he denied that the
circumstances to when we refer do 50 far war
rant them that some explanation is needed, in
Justice rs we'll to the Speaker as to the public
Life insurance companies in Connecticut
and elsewhere may rs we'll look the fact
squareiy in the face that they are not SO
widely trusted as they have bCcn-that recent
exposures of their methods and management
have greatly weakened public confidence in
them, and that this distrust relates not only
to particular companies, but to the whole
business. The returns 0f new business for
| the past year will probably bear out this
statement in nearly all, even the soundcst and
| most prosperous companies. In this state of
things it Is idle to say that public discussion
or legislative investigation is likely to do harm
by still further impairing confidence The
mischief is already done. The remedy now
lies not in sitting inquiry but in inviting the
most rigid scrutiny and demanding the most
stringent legislation for the future protection
both Of the companies and the public The
companies which would succeed hereafter must
throw their doors wide open aud let the pub
lie see that there are no secrets on their books,
no sharp practice in their management, no
trcllcry nor concealment, nor misrepresenta-
tons in their statements and reports. There
is no other way to regain the confidence which
has been forfeited, and recover the business

DouLt still rcaps its harvest. The men who
attack the credit of the Government are max
ing bankrupts at an alarming rate. The num-
bcr % failures reported for 1877 was S,S72,
against 9,O92 in 1876 but the number Of firms
reported had diminished, so that the ratio of
failures to firms reported was l in 73. In 1876
it was l in 7G in 1875 it was l il SO; in
1874 it was l in 1903; in 1913 it was ] in
1OS. This steady increase in the proportion
OF failures ought to attract attention. II
shows plainly that, the longer doubts are
prolonged as 10 the financial course Of the
Government, the more men assal its credit
and shake the confidence OF capitalists,
the greater is the ratio Of commercial diSas-
tiers. Confidence can be restored only by GER
tainty as to the basis of operations. RecuDcr-
alton is not possible. as long "a the existing
uncertainty is constantly maintained and in
creased by new assaults upon capital In
amount OF liabilities, the failures of 1877 fell
little short of those of 1876, Tor the aeSre-
gate was only $3.50, ,6G9, 1885, but in average
liabilities to each firm the year was more dis
astrous than the one preceding; The average
was &21 ,491 to each firm, against 50 900 in
1876.
The annual circular Of Messrs. Dan, Barlow
& Co.. which gives thcs, statements as TO the
number of failures, also adds very conclusive
evidence that they do not depend upon the
amount of bank circulation. Ii shows that the
Eastern States with only 77,724 firms in bust
poss, and a National bank circulation OF S112,
G78.33G, or 81 ,450 TO each trader, report
/ 1888 failures. a proportion Of | 20 56. But
the Western states, with 23l, ,557 firms in
business, and baAk circulation of only $Gj,-
10I,381, or only $281 to each trader, report
q very much smaller ratio Of failures, namely,
1856, or l 20 81. The iiddlc States, with
224,7 ,7O7 firms in business, and $1l2, ,9l3
in bank circulation. or $547 to each trader.
report 3,019 failures, or / IN 73, while
the Southern States, with 9l,7S3 firms
in business, and 823, ,531 ,02G in bank
circulation, or only $2jG to each tad
er report a smaller ratio of failures
namely, LOIS, on / in 50. These facts by no
means prove that Che abundance of curreucv
in circulation i'll any section causes n multitude
of failures. but they do conclusivey prove that
the larger supply OF money does not prevent
the greater number of failures. Obyiouslv tbc
statistics are imperfect, because the legal
tender notes also circulate freely in the differ
ent sections. going wherever they are wanted.
But it would undoubtedly appear, If data
could he obtained, that these notes also are
distributed in rcary the same ratio as the
bank circulation, and that the section which
