A MARKED DIFFERENCE.
Small Resemblance Between Life
and Fire Insurance, and None

and Fire Insurance, and None
Whatever in Circulating" In the
Two Lines.
A prominent Eastern life insurance COM
pany, owning improved real estate In To-
peka, Kansas, recently sought to renew its
fire insurance upon the building at q re-
duced rate. This has moved the funny chan
who occupies the position of insurance super
intendent in that state to ask the life COM
pany why 1t ventures to prohibit relbatng in
its own business, and at the same time seeks
to obtain fire insurance under the usual
rate
Like most neophytes in insurance matters,
Mr.. Superintendent McNaH regards life and
fire insurance as about the same things, when
in reality they are as different as banking
is from commerce manufacture.
Rotating In life insurance means that the
new insurant Is getting his policy at an
initial cost less than his fellow members, and
that they suffer for the difference. Hence
its glaring injustice and the willingness Of
legislators to penalize the practice. Twenty
or more state legislatures have passed
stringent laws against life insurance rebat-
ing, although the Insurance Superintendent
Of Kansas, like the New York rough in his
newly acquired information as to the cruel
fixion, never heard Of it until the other

the certainty of fire hazard. while in life
insurance the number who must die and the
cost Of each individuals indemnity is known
and Interchangeable. Neither do statute-mak-
ers ever bother themselves as to rebating In
fire insurance. as that is matter of concern
to agents and stockholders alone; not to
thousands of fellow members as in life in
surance. These facts are elementary but
there are lots Of people. seemingly. who

is the following which we find running

which is propounded with the air Of
conviction that it is a sockdologer:
How do the free trade orators, who in
sisted that the enactment of the protective
tariff law would advance prices to the Gus
toner, account for the fact that brown
sheetings which sold in the New York mar
kets on Jan. !. 1897. at 5.S7, sold on March
which sold on Jan. l. 1897. for 6.65 were. on
March l. 1898. only 6.0O or that blue dem
inns fell from 1880 on Jan. l, 1897, to

boots fell from 1.35 to 1924; or women's
buff shoes from so to rs; or cut nails from
1.40 to LILO; or bar iron from LOS to 95; or
steel rails from $2S to SIS?
Brown sheeting fell 16 per cent;
bleached shirtings fell a little less than
10 per cent, blue denims fell per cent,
While the cotton from which they were
made fell Is per cent and the wages of
the men and women who wove them
were forced down II per cent. Boots
and shoes have not been lessened in
cost to consumers, but, on the con-
trary, there has been a small advance
Cut nails fell q per cent, bar IRON 95
per cent, because iron ore, their COM
mon basis fell 80 Der cent and steel
rails fell 35 per cent because Of that,
and mere because Carnegie broke the
pool that held them at $2S long before
Dingley's bill became law MI Han
mas bureau might find occupation in
explaining to the makers Of these
things why Dingley's increase Of pro-
lection has not been followed by the
promised increase in price, and, gen.
orally, it might explain what a pro-
tective tariff is good for, if it does not
let prices of things protected increase.
