Ald. Cullerfon Explaing that the Cily Needs the Money. Ths now city chartor providos for & tax on {he promiums of foroign insurance cumpanies doing business in citlea working under that charter. At a rogular meeting of the Common Council held Feb. 14, 1870, tha following resolution was ntroduced by Ald, Cullerton, of the Heventh Ward : ‘WRERFAN, The tax-psyers of (his city are complied to support a Firo Department, at 2o annual cost of abomt $105,000, L0 nebtoct the tterott of the wealtly toreign {nsurance compenies in this city{ snd, Wiznzas, Thers wea no law by whichi mfd fnsur. anco companes could b compeled. to pay thelr joxt proportion of the city taxes, of b compelled_in any maaner 210 fcoutribut dotiar 3for tho support of the Firo Defartment, until tho sdoption of tho present city cha WrEnELs, 10 of ihe sald charier provides that All nuch_insurance companies shall pay nto the City Trensury the aom of $3 wpon the $100 of their net re- coipta, the amonnt of auch roceipts to bo rendersd every slx months under oath {o the Comptrollor, un= der peualty of $1,000, aud {mprisonment not exceed- t months ; and, énenras, Sid inanrance compantes liave nealsoled {0 comply with this Isw thus far, wiicn they should hiva dona 80 0n tho 18t day of Jsaiiary laat thorefore Resoived, That a spocial commitico of five be ape pointed by the Chalr, whons duty it shiall be to soc that the provisions of raid rection of the city chyrier are complied with by eald fnsurance compantes, Tho Alderman then calied for a spocial com- mittee to consider the rosolution, and tho Prest- deut responded by mppointing Ald. Cullerton, Warzen, U'Brien, T C. Clarke, nod Hoath, Yes- torday tho Commitieo metin the City Clork's office, Ald, Cullerton in the chair, who prooseoded to read the above rogolution and aleo the seo- tion roferred to in tha Gity Cbartor. Hothon re- warked that hio saw no alieraative but to enforco tho law, us it was 8o plain aa tobe xndmfnumn. Ald. O'Brion inquired if bo Lad consultod tho Law Departmont ta rolation to ite logality. Ald, Cullorton replied that he Lad, aod that they woro of the same opinion as himsoif. Comptrolier Inyos was, e #aid, anxious to aid the Commitieo in the endeavors to do justice to #o sorious & matler, but that functionery had been compelled to rotire homs on acocunt of fil- mioss, 1t was his individos! opinion that tho ln- torestod jusmanco agents in thia city onght to ba OYFICIALLY NOTIFIED of the intonded action, and Lo moved the fol- lowivg : Jierolyed, That the Oity Clerk beand he s here directed to cauns to e printed and deliverod 1o eac! of thie usuranco compuniea doing business in this city, that are not {ncorporated nnder the Iaws of this Hiato, & 'cony. of Foc. 110 of thin presont city charter, with n requent that thoy comply within ten days to the re |fln‘lm;n;a of satd section for tho hslf year ending an, 1, 197 Ala. Warren moved tho passags of the rosolus tion, Ald. Clarko desired to hear aome of the insur- suco men presont, aud OEORGE C. CLARKE, E8Q., ropresenting the underwriters, resdily raspond- ed, Buch a law, he-said, was first pussed abont 1818 pe 0 moro protective mosgure for the old Fire Dapartmont, then run on the indepoudent system, and was never intonded for later doya. Ilowever, the esction in tho preaent charter wad slmost Identical with it. 1L was a discrimination against foreign companies, and gave homo ones an undus advantage in extending low rates. In 1iis opinion it was & poor timo to make such o digorimwation. If thero wna a city in the Union that neaded foraign capital, that city waa Cbica~ go; sad any business neoded foreign capital mors than anothor, it was the inkurance bueiness. How many local insuranoco compnnios conld be stazted in this city with a solid capit al of §200,000?7 Wore thero moro than 100 men who conld contribute more thau $10,000 aach to such ontarprinee 7 1o thought there ware not, and such was the case with overy other city ‘whose sccumulation of trado was so far in ad- vanoo of its acoumulation of capital, Al the in- surauce sompanies had lost beavily by tho re- eont heavy fires. The homo companisa failed utterly, and' many foreign onos wore shattored, ‘bat noarly all that was gained by Ubioago was from foreign companios, one oun&p-ny nlone,for whAn&flhn way sgons, baving disbursed over 80,000, Auother paint to ba made against the enforco- mont of the Iaw waa the fact that ali such taxes went into tho premiums, and, iustead of tho burdon falllug upon the wealthy stockbholders, it foll directly upon the parties insuring. The original Iaw in relation to Insursnos companies, and the one mnow in Zforee, required all insuranco companies to list promi- ums as personal property, and on this total to make returns and sabmit to taxation, thus plac- ing them on an cqual fooling with everv other businecss juterest. Besides this thero waa also a Inw making i¢ obligatory upon every insurance company dolng business in this oity to [»ny atax of 1!{ per cont for the malotenance of the Fire Patrol, wn inatitution whioh had through its ofticiony comae to bis regarded s a nocessity, As Ald. Cullerton Liad stated, he sgrosd that the law was 50 plain on tho statute book 25 to be {uexorable, but he wonld suggest that nothing be done with it, snd it bo allowed to remain upon tha statutes a doad letter, Timoa wero particniarly hard for insurancs men, As Into as lost fall there was o rodncton of about 3347 or cent in their rates, aud in mauy instauces ‘it ad boen even groater, Col. J. L. Jumes gave a few figures 88 to tho amount of mnot receipts. . Tha total raceipts from this city annually wero about £1,300,000, and out of this oaly about §300,00¢ belouged to local companios, Ho followed in tho sume line of thought as Mr. Qlarke. < ALD. CULLERTON repliad that the City of Chicago was in & muoh worse condition than any ipsurance company, tor tho lattur could collect prewminma betoro {n- suring, while thecity could not collect but a small proportiun of 1its taxcs. Although he mught be vonsidered a little Coamunistio in his ideas, he really batioved that the Fire Depari- noue ought to boTon by the insurancs compa- uies, aud to this end tho city ouglit to make oat & quit-claim dood to them of all the property owned in the Department and turn it over fo tho luauranca-men for wafe-kecping, At prosut the amount that forcign insurance companios paid in tazes was vorg smsll indeod. Ho thought the law & just one, and if it wore not euforved lis would not hesitata tosay that the aity oflicers hiad boen derelict fu thoir daty. Mr. Ularke again citad the fact that after the groat fire foroign capital waa tho ouly thing that robuilt and austained the city. Ald. Warren &lso put in » good word for the conduct of the foreign insurance companies dur- ing those trying times, r. Clarke cited the condition of the City of Hpriuglloid, which at onge brought Ald, Culler- ton to biy faot, *That,” sad Lo, **is just pro- claely the condition of Chicago. to-day, aud ns long 8 peoplo will not pay their taxes aud the law romains unchanged, thers is danger that this city will bo a4 bad off as Byringtlold, lacking tire, police, and all other municipal beaefita, The Chairman of ths Finanoe Committes is before you, and [ ropeat it that the. city finances are ulsrmingly low, and there soems no remedy," _Mr. Qlarko again wanted to know where tha city would have boen to-day bad it not beesn for the forei; {nsurance m[i;muu and forelgu capital, ‘Ihese ought not ba drivon away, It would be oqually sonsible to tax homs cap- ital ju aoy othor businees, such as packing or building Intoresta. Ald, Cullorton still maintalned that the en- forcement of the law waa n logal necessity, and most come sooner or later,—tha soouer the better for the Treasury. Inrezard to the way tax-payors were laggiog, be sald it would ouly sorve them right, when the uoxt appropristion budgot came around, to fail to appropriate for Lho walutonance of tho Police and Fire Dopart- ments, the lighting of ges-lamps, the payment of sohiool-teacliera, snd everything elsa in the way of publio benetits, Theso oyntcal observations dampened tho en- thusiasm, and almost immodiately the Commnt- tos adjourned on motion of Ald. O'lrion and Warren, to meet again Monday afternoon at § f‘clock tor tho further consideration of tiie aubs ok, ———— s GRAND BALL AT MADISON, WiS.

To the Bdator of The Chicago T'ribune; Curcaao, Fob. 17.—Ia reply to my suggeation that tho direct and easy way to accomplish tho rosumution of specle-payrmeats {8 stmply for the Govornmont to redoom its promiues, you say : “ Whoro, whon, or how is the Governmeut to ot £420,000,000 of gold to redeem this paper ? TheZanawer to that quustion has puzzied the wisent braina In and out of Cougress. If some nation would mako ny a prosent of £420,000,000 of gold, redsmption would bo easy sed simple enough ; but who will do it 2" Pormit me, Mr. Editor, $o puggest s way in whioh all the gold necossary to accomplish the object msy bo obtained. Furat, howaver, It will be well that we shouid rocall to mind the facts and principlea connected with the 1ssuo of tho legal-tender notes, that we may sao moro cloarly what the Govaernment ought todo. The primary object of making this issue was not that it should bocoms an in- togral part of tho owrrency, That it wonld do #0 temporarily was doubtless foroseen, and aven desired; but that was not tho officient cause of tho financial policy that was adopted. Thoall- important objoct way o oblain the meansto carry on the War, The lsauo of greonbacks was simply a method of making & forced loan ; aud this, its truo cliar- acter, should never Le lost sight of. Whether [t waa tho best mothod of making a loan, it ia not noceasary to discuss. It cortainly was thought to be 1o by tho Becrotary of the Tressury and by Congress; and perhapa thoy were right. Bug, from whatever point of view we look nt the transaction, it has one cloar, wall-defined fea- ture: It was noither more nor less than making n loant,—creating » dobt; and, if the manner of doing it contdLave any influenoe on the characs ter of tho debt, It ought to mako it more sacred and obligatory than ordinary debts; and, on overy priciple of justice, honor, and sound pol« icy, the Governmont ought $o pay the debt by redeeming its notes,—the avidences of that dobt. Now, how can {t bodone? I do not proposo that the Government should attempt fmpossibil- itios, but that jt should do what overy houest nan does for Lumself ; it should apply nil tho uvailablo meaus it bas to tuis purpose, aftor proviling for it necossary expeusos, Among the meaus in possessiun of the Government azo First—A covsiderablo smount of surplus gold In tha voults of tho Tronsury, Second—A surplus of revenuo that accrass every yoar, aud bas hitberto been applied to the redemption of 5-20 bonds not yet due (although paynblo at the option of tho Gavernmeut), in- staad of redesming its dislionored prowdses, Third—The eale of uow Louds s fast ns it mi;,:lm be found practicablo to soll thom for old. B Plioas renoiisson wonld not, of conurso, redeoin the gresnbacks at onoce. It wauld be n sluw proooss ; for I am well aware that eelling bonds for auy otbor );nrpmsn than to call 1 and re- deom “other bonuds, ia no osay matter. Never- tholers, wo havo sold a grent many bonds for gold, and itcan bo done again,—in eutliciont time, All the gold thus obtainod whoutd bo sscredly set aside to redoem tho logal-tender notes ; and, while I would not object o the exchango of one bond for snother, for the sake of rerunding at a lower rats of intorest, I would not psy a dollar to redoemn a bond of tho Government not yet duoe, whilo s finld doliar waa suy botter than a greenback dollar. Now, it it wore decided that the rosonrooa of the Goverument that 1 have mentioned were to be applicd to the redempiton of 1ia notes, liows shonld 1t bo dono ? Not by the msane method of piliog up gold lo the Tressury until the amount equaled that of the notes to be re- deemed, nor Lalf the awonnt, nor & quarter, nor indeed any specific amount at all, 1If it wer practicablo, 88 & private individual might do, to divide the money pro rata among the crodilors me fast 88 it was obteined, tbat would be the fuireat wny. But that would be impossible. Neither would it do 1o resume at ouce, and adopt the rule, * First como, firet servod,” anuil tho cash was exbausted ; that ‘would not be fair. How thon? I would Kive notice, waehly or mouthly, that gold, to the oxtont that it was on hand and applicable to that purpove, wonld be paid for gresubacks to the Pacty tliat would mako tlio greatest discount on them ; or, in the phraso of Wall street, I mould gell the gold to tha highost bidder for green- backs (not bank-notes); and, whon tho notes were thus redemed, they should o consigned to tho tlamos at tho carlioss practicabls moment, Lot it once be tha declared policy of fhe Gov- ernment that ol {{s cash-resources were to bs applied to the redomption of it notes in the way 1 bave indicated, sud nota bond bo pur- chased for cash until groeubnoks wors at par, aud I ehould gnesa (and shat is all that anyvody can do) that, beforo 860,000,000 of gold was dis- bursed, thers would be hittle or no domsnd for it, The promium would at first cause a slight coulraction i the currenoy; but the confidence ot the people in the good faith of the Govern- ment would sa reduce that premium that tho re- duction of the currency would scarcely bo folt. L'artios hawing gold would haston to buy the hotes whilo they were at a disoount ; and thus o 1low of gold would met ju to the country thet wonld soon fill up any temporary vacancy, It may bo asked, 1a not this essentinlly tho polioy that was pursued by Secretary MoCulloch under the law for contracting tho curroncy ; and would it not bo the sawme thing to sell bonds at vnce for greenbacks, aud then cancel them? I think not. Mr. MoCultoch substituted nothingas currency in the place of that which he destroyed ; ueitbor would the vaoanoy be filled if green- Lacks woro redeemed with bonds, We waut the gotd. Tho Government drove it ont of tho conutry by its irredoomablo notes, and it oughit 10 nee the necoseary moans to bring it back, It oy als0 b said that gold recetved whils tho groenbacks wero at & discount would not go inta circalation, but be sent abrosd. That is a mat- ter of opinion, 1tk that, in view of the cer- tain reaumption of specle-payments, 1t would be distributod among the banks, o take the place or thoir grecnback-rosetves, and ba ready to take 1ty propor part {n offocting the grand rosuit, Atall events, the honor of the Government would Lo reatored, and the contideuco of tuo people in the fature wounld bo establlshed on o firn basie. ©.

Meantime, contraction ot the currenoy of nccaunt will be taking placa aa fast ma the greenbacks are purchased by the Qovernment sud canceled ; and the * debtor class will bogin to howl sbout contraction, and make party-capital in favor of repealiug tho Iaw ; and the demagoguos in Congress will rush to the rescuo, and repeal. This wounld be the inevitable result if such a schomo as that pro- posed by Mr. B, were adopted.—Ep, Tusune.) ¢ e HYMENEAL.
