Looking Toward Valued Policy Law
for Vermont

At the next meeting of the legislature
an effort will be made to pass a valued
policy bill. 1t is understood that the Yer
mont Mutual Insurance company will favor
the BILL and is preparing for it 10y valuing
its risks and inspecting its business.
There is no doubt whatever in the minds
of insurance men that the enactment of
valued policy law would be followed by the
wholesale withdrawal of foreign insurance
companies. 1t is stated that the expert
ence of all companies in Vermont for the
past fifteen years shows loss ratio of
seventy-nine per cent, and when to this is
added twenty-five per cent for expenses
the result is S104 paid out for every 500
received. When to this is added valued
policy law, insurance companies will find
profitable business existence more diff
cult than ever.

of the administration and of the House bill
and he moved a motion of instruction that
the Senate recede from so much of the
sugar schedule as provides a differential
duty in favor of the refners. Senators
Blanchard and Caffery said that the adop-
ton of Mr.. Vilas's motion would strike a
deadly blow to the sugar-growing industry
of Louisiana, and stated they were in favor
of the Senate bill or nothing. Mr.. Villas S
motion was not voted on and the Senate

fender.

The Louisiana senator Fighting for n
Duty ON Sugar---The Democratic Sem
ators in Caucus in Favor of the sem
ate Bill.
In the Senate Tuesday Mr.. Hill defend
ed President Cleveland against the assaults
of Democratic senators in connection with
the Presidents letter to Mr.. Wilson, chair
man of the House conferrees on the tariff
bill Mr.. Hill took the ground that the
letter, being unofficial, was no violation of
the constitution; that it was no attack up
on the Senate or upon any senator but
that it was an honest effort to carry out
the policies and theories of the Democrat
ic party, and to advance the interests of
the people. As to its being an unwarrant-
ed attempt to interfere with pending legis-
lation, Mr. Hill asserted that the blame
lay with those senators who, instead of
acting on their own judgment and respou-
sibility, "badgered' the President to give
them his views upon the compromise bill
which they had prepared. "Do as | do,
Mr., Hill said to them; keep away from
the White House" Senator Gallery sub
mitted a motion looking to a restoration in
the sugar schedule of a bounty for 1894.
He accused the Democratic managers of
bad faith in striking out the sugar bounty,
and declared for himself and his colleague
Mr.. Blanchard, that they would not vote
for the tariff bill if it put sugar on the free
list. He had not concluded his speech at
the hour of adjournment.
The Democratic senators went into eau
Gus Tuesday afternoon to formulate a pro-
/ gram in regard to the disposal of the tariff
! bill. Without reaching any conclusion an
| adjournment was taken until Wednesday.
\ resolution was offered providing that the
bill be sent back to conference without in
structions of any sort to the cOnferrees,
/ The sentiment was almost solidly in favor
of the Senate bill. \ prominent senator,
who said he spoke by authority, maintain
ed that the Senate bill would prevail and
that the House had come to realize that it
must accept it or assume the responsibility
for the defeat that stares the bill and par
ty in the face in the event that they de-
cline to yield.

Nothing Accomplished Wednesday

Democratic senators met in caucus again
Wednesday and unanimously adopted the
resolution that the bill be sent back to the
conference without instructions. Mr.. Villas
was urged to withdraw his motion in rela-
ton to the ditferentia duty on sugar. He
said he would take the matter under con
sideraton. 1t was said in the caucus that
it was known the House would yield and
accept the Senate bill with some modifica-
tions.
In the Senate Wednesday tariff speeches
were made by Messrs. Gallery, Daniel and
Hunton. A motion was made by Mr..
Quay to so amend the motions of Senators
Villas and Gray as to put sugar on the free
list. The whole matter then went over
until Thursday.

From the Springfield homestead

Nine years ago Prof. Richard 7. Ely in
vestigated the town of Pullman, and al
though he found the workers in that busy
hive enjoying luXuries not common to
workingmen, at small expense, he saw oc-
casion for alarm. He recognized "a scheme
which would immesh our laboIers in a net
work of communities, owned and managed
by industrial superiors." This meant, he
said, the establishment of the most abso-
lutte power of capital and the repression of
freedom. "If free American institutions
are to be preserved, said he, 1--WE want no
race of men reared as underlings and with
the spirit OF menals.'

Some people may be mean enough to
doubt whether Actuary George w. Phil
lips of the Equitable would have spoken so
impressiyely at Chicago of the need of
economy in the management of Life Insur-
ance had not his company accepted posi-
ton from which such remarks could be de
livered, not only with safety, but with GER
tainty of provoking comparisons to the ad-
vantage of the Equitable. Mr., Phillips
mOdestly refrained from mentioning the
fact that his company has been making a
fad of cutting expense, and has reduced
the ratio of management expenses to in
come from 20.l9 in 1891, to 1912 in 1892
and 1890 in 1898. 1t has decreased ex-
penses actually as well as proportionately,
its business costing 81, SS3, 294.57 in 1891
and only S7,059, 043.29 in 1892. Neither
of the other giants has done so well, and
we may expect from the Equitable some
vigorous riding of this hobby. The Mu-
tuaPs expense of management in 1891 was
1854 per cent of its income, II. A per cent
in 1892 and 2l,56 per cent in 1898, there
being an actual increase from S6,675, 461. 80
in 1891 to S9,03j, 1867 SO in 1898. The per
centage from the New York Life was 10. rs
in 1891, 2305 in 1892 and %. 26 in 1898.
Under these circumstances Mr.. Phillips
could declare with much feeling that it is
time for the era of economy to begin, and
that "the reputation of life insurance is a
stake. "-LOuiSCUle Insurance Herald.

No Decision on the Tariff.
senator villas Defends the President

The Senate failed A. dispose of the con-
ference report on the tariff bill yesterday.
Many of the senators persist that their
bill will prevail. The feature of the day
was the defence of President Cleveland by
Senator Villas of Wisconsin. He denouuc-
ed Mr.. Germans assault as wantou. reck-
less and unjustihable. AT the very time
when the President was writing his letter
to Mr. Wilson, Mr., Villas went on. dra-
matically, 1.-THE senator from Maryland and
his coadjutors were appealing to Mr.
Cleveland to induce him to support them
in an effort to qualify the enactment of
Democratic principles instead of chrystal-
lzing them into law. How utterly wan
ton is this cry of the interference now
Because he has seen fit to throw the
weight of his influence with the House in
favor of Democratic principles, because he
refused to stand with them, make his ac-
ton a ground of complaint here and in
horror cry out against executive interior
ence.' The Presidents letter was wholly
impersonal.'

S. NJ. Weed, a member of the committee,
sailed from New York Wednesday for Lon

English capitalists who have offered to
furnish the money necessary to complete
the canal. The committee has given up
all hope of raising the money in this coun-
try. The capital required is about $780,
100000. The friends of the project ex-
press great regret at the inaction of Con-
gress. The commercial, political and mil
itary advantages, they say, which would
result from a governmental ownership of
the canal can scarcely be over-estimated.
