The Ouestion of Expense.

The Boston Advertiser, in commenting
upon the cheap insurance idea which
permeates the literature of the assess
ment societies, says:
but by far the larger proportion OF
the Life Insurance companies of the
present day are mutual companies, and
in such companies the insured secure
their insurance at actual cost. All ac-
cumul9tiOns over and above the cost of
transacting the business, after pfOvid-
ing for the proper legal reserve upon
each policy, are returned to the policy
holders in dividends. In these com-
panies, at least, there is every induce
ment to keep rates as low as possible,
for the policy holders alone are to re-
ceive the benefit arising from any accu-
mutations or profits. The mutual COM
panies, however, do not offer insurance at
rates materially lower than do the stock
companies, again indicating that Life
Insurance rates are as low as is regarded
safe. Three elements go to make up
the cost of insurance-the rate of NOR
tality, the average rate of interest to be
earned during long period of years,
and the expense of getting and main
tanning the business. These are praeti-
cally all constant factors, it being pos
sible, even, to closely estimate the item
of expense, though it is generally termed
a variable element. Give these factors,
then, the possible minimum of Life In
surance rates is pure matter of mathe-
MATES, and unless people stop dying.
and interest begins to go up instead of
steadily declining, and able financiers
will give their services fol a less return,
there appears little chance that existing
rates can be materially lowered and the
companies continue on sound, un-
shaken financial basis"

THE COAT ARGUMENT.

ga cheap coat makes cheap man."
That is President HARRIsoN'S justifi-
cation of the MCKINLEY bill. He adj
mits that the new tariff law increases
the cost of clothing, something that the
Republican stump speakers in Mime
sofa are denying; but he justifies it on
the ground that high-prieed clothing is
essential to better manhood.
1t makes vast difference from what
standpoint you view it as to how an OBJ
ject looks.
President HARRISON draws a salary
of $4,000 year. The difference of $40
or $50 in the cost of coat is small
item to him.
But it makes mighty difference to
the poor man who only earns 81 a day,
and has hard work to get that.
President HARRISON has no manual
labor to perform. so that good coat
will last him long while. There is
very little wear and tear on his clothes.
But it is different with the hodearre1
or the stonecutter. He will wear out
three coats to President HARRIsoN's
one.
Hence the presidents philosophy re-
specting the cheapness of garment
being the sign of cheap man doesn't
apply to nine-tenths of the population
of this country. The number of coat
makers is very small in comparison with
the number of coat wearers.
At all events. it is an insult to the
labor masses for the president to in
sinuate that ones manhood is to be-
gagged by the style of cloth in his gar
ments. The remark is very well il
keeping with JAY GoULD's exasperat
ing advice to the workingmen to veal
their old clothes for longer time as al
Offset to the increase in prices.

CUSH DAVIS SHEEP.

To the Editor of the G

To the Editor of the Globe.
TIE Minneapolis Tribune of this morning
attempts defense of Senator Davis remark
able break in figures on the sheep and wool
industry, to which I had the pleasure of call
ing the attention of your readers. Instead of
following the wiser course adopted by the
Pioneer Press when the senator made SINH
lar break few years ago on the wheat I'M
portations and saying that he was swept
away by the eXuberance of his imagination,
the Tribune calls your comment on my letter
fool editorial and mine silly commu-
nieation.
1t throws the blame on Mr. Hillmau and
his three assistants or ON its own compost
ors and proof readers. Like Artemus, it
would Willingly sacrifice all its first wife's
relations to save "Cush." 1t does not ex-
plain the singular coincidence of the figures
reported by the stenographer sent by the
Democratic state committee to CrOokston, to
take DAVIS speech there on the 18th, and
those taken by Mr.. HIlimau on the 18th.
The committees reporter says that when
giving the figures Mr.. Davis spoke from a
card which he took from his pocket. After
the speech at Minneapolis some one
got on to the ridiculous tumble of
figures, and the Tribune got out re
vised version which is being sent out over
the state, in which the senator's break is
sought TO be covered by simply adding three
ciphers wherever he gave the figures, rem
edy which makes him now state the wool

that year was 263,OG0.000 pounds.

silly communication and yours fool
editorial he has q two-columu write-up on
1.-The Mckinley Bill.'' headlined as "a Full

Measure, in which he quotes Senator Davis
as again saying. that in 1867. wnen
the wool tariff was adjusted so
as to foster this industry, the num-
Der of sheep in this country was q. 1000. In
1888 the number had increased to $4,000,
and when the uuwise act of 1888 was passed
the number of sheep commenced to decrease
until i'll 1899 they had decreased 1000, and
we had but $4,000. In 1887 the wool pro-
duced in the United States was TO- 900 pounds.
In 1888 it was O0OU0,0O0 pounds, and by

THE FAVORED FEW.

Gov. MERRIAM. as banker, regards
it as absurd for the farmers to ask the
government to come TO their relief when
they get into tight places for money. by
loaning them what they need at NOM
inal interest, with their products or
farms as security. 1t is all right for the
secretary to turn over the national treas
ury when the great spectators and
traffickers in credits are cramped. Dis
aster to Wall street operators must be
averted with the money of the nation.
When men in certain lines of business
find that competition from abroad in
terferes with their monopoly of the
home market and fixing their profits as
they may see fit. they go to congress
and induce that body to shut out the
other fellows for their benefit. So it
goes. The few are favored and the
many have the bills to foot. The prov
ince of the government should be to
promote the interest of all, with special
favOrS to none.

SOME OF REEDS FANCIEs.

Speaker REED is coming to this city
before the election to convince the peo-
pie that he deserves their admiration for
his career at Washington in the late
session, and is developing presidential
material, and incidentally to help out
his faithful subalternS from this state
who are having SO hard a time to con-
vince the people that they shall be
stamped O. x. and given another lease.
The speaker is fluent, positive and
sonorous, but limps in his attempts to
state facts, and can only be credited
with honesty at large expense of mental
poise. In his Rochester speech he
made the statement that "the majority
of the Democrats live south of MASON
and DIXoN'S line" That was not
very important declaration, but the re-
moteness of it from the fact may af-
ford some sort of a measure of other
avermentS not so readily exposed by
the figures. Two years ago the Dem
ocratS in the South gave Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND 1920, pa votes. and those in the
North 3,6l7.9SS. REED was not in sight
of the fact in that statement. In lavish
ing his praise upon the MCKINLEY
tariff in his Buffalo speech. with
the citation of the campaign refrain
that concludes with He's all rightI"
Mr.. REED asked, What creates WOODEN
mills in this country?' and answered it
himself with. Its the protective tariff. :"
Under the operation of the high pro-
tective tariff that is only overtopped by
the MCKINLEY bill, the wooden mills
have been constantly growing fewer in
number, q great portion of them being
forced to close and others struggling to
keep in operation. The tariff npon raw
material and the mechanical factors
of the business more than balanced the
protection they received in duties on
importations. During the same speech
the question was put to him in way
he could not evade it. do you consider
the MCKINLEY bill just to the poor?''
His reply was. at would seem to me
to be just, and even generous, since it
has for its object the raising of the
wages of the poor, and at the same
time the lowering of the price OF
neceSSarieS-" The features of the Nc.

ton of the representatives of the

known at Washington, sought to make

this force there is no record that thu

heard. Were the unctuous persuader:

not state the fact. The tariff was no
framed to increase the wages of labO
