The vaiued Policy Eseresy.

policy lsws," which we have only glanced
OF, because we could not publish it in its
present state. 1t is seven pages long and
written on both sides of the paper, and he
could have done nothing that would mors
quickly consign it to the waste basket. A
printed extract, which is enclosed, shows

and impracticablenes Of the valued
policy system. II his communication

We think the nonsensical idea of valued
policies should be hit and hit hard. Such
laws only tend 20 embsrrass the honest
insured for tina benefit Of the careless and
dishonest, and to ipjure honest insurance
companies and their customers. The same
idea has struck some of the legislators Of
New York state, and its absurii,y is being
exposed by such business.like journals as
the New York Times and the journal Of
