the United States is being made
canncu sDeak with positive assurance As
10 Japan's designs. The japanese as

In view Of this do not believe that
anything but the most extraordinary

An UnwiSe Policy.

Business men all over the United
States were impressed with the far
sight of those insurance companies
which announced at the first news
of the disaster IN San Francisco
that they would pay all losses,
whether occasioned by fire or earth
quake, as far as the buildings were
insured with them, and without un-
due delay. Owners of buildings else
where took note careful Of those
companies. If the promises are re-
deemed the effect, beyond any
doubt. will be TO give those particu-
lar corporations The highest possi-
bic trade-getting standing with the
men who place insurance.
But there are some companies.
possibly some OF those who were
first to promise liberality, which
now take another view. Fire losses
are 10 be paid, with earthquake
losses deducted; buildings destroy
ed by dynamite are to go into 4
separate class, and the allowance
be fixed later; and a general in
crease in fire rates is to be ordered
for the ostensible purpose of gaug-
ing the cost of insurance according
TO the risk revealed by the fires in
Baltimore and san Francisco, but
having the present effect of making
the consumer elsewhere repay the
companies for the unusual outlay
on the Pacific coast.
That may seem a good business
policy, but it is not. 1t may easily
lead to a loss of patronage cores
pouding to, if not exceeding, that
which some life insurance COM
panies now have to fight The
whole number of insured is almost
certain to lessen far enough to off
set the expected gain through the
increase in rates. I'm owner insures
his building for the purpose of re-
covering his loss. at least in part,
when his structure burns, not for
he privilege of paying assessments
while the building stands and the
cost of an expensive lawsuit when
it is destroyed.
The only way to make money out
of the fire insurance business as
out of any other business (save
/ trade in a necessary like coal, OF
which the trader has the monop-
oIy), is to charge a fair price and
return a fair service. Fire insUr-
ance companies with the sense to
do that now viii thrive by the oper-
alton. The others viii merely bite
off their noses to spite their faces.

The French are the only people
in the world who seem able to grow
rich through investment in gold
bricks. Nobody knows, ard if any
body knew il would be unkind 10
tell, how much the republic lost
through the Panama canal ventures.
France is not a great business ma
tion, as Germany and Great Britain
are, but it is an investing country.
Its investors own so much indus
trial and banking capital in Ger
many, for instance, that recently
their threat of retaliation made it
impossible for Emperor William to
carry out arrangements for a war
with France. France continues to
buy the foreign loans of Russia, as
if they were gilt-edged; indeed,
France comes pretty near to being
the financial administration of Rus
sia. The French are not money
makers, as folk of Saxon strain
conceive Of money-making; but
they know as no other nation does
the full meaning of the proyerb
that a sou that's saved is sou to
the good.
