Nzw Yonrg, Jan. 16.—So few statements have sppeared thus far that we are unabie to judge of thie actual condition of & mafority of the fire- fnsurance companics st tho beginning of the year. In spite of the demoralization In rates, increased fire losscs, ana other drawbacks to prosperlty, most of the companies have deelnred thelr usual eent-gnnunl dividends. This decls- ration is by no meana prima faclc evidence that the dividendx have buen earncd, but theso events have rather weakened the faith of those wha helleved a few weeks ngo that the state- ments of the companics gencerally would show beavy defieits, However, 8 couple of wecks will tell the story, and in the {oterim 1t Is sufficlent 1o know that a few companles will show an in- crease of assets and net surplus, This unex- peeted result of the yenr's work may be ac- counted for by the fact that oxponses have been reduced and tho losses marked off last year by the depreciation in the market vatucs of tiov- ernment bonds and other eccuritios have ceased, gull, & cannot be denied that the progress of aay number of compantes In addlt fons to net surplus-funds will be a surprlse to the country ot large 80 far a8 ita insurance people are con- cerned. TROGRESS OF THE TARIFF AMOCIATION. The New York Local Board, by a vote of 79 to 4, recently resolved to form a Tarlf Assoclation torequlate rates and all matters pertaining to rates. These nepatives were eaat by representa- tives of the Nationnl nnd Germanin of this city, Franklin of Philadelphia, and North German of Hamburg. Various plans lhave been agltated, but nothing deflnite hea eo far been accomplish- ed ieyond the appointment of a committee to devise and report o working plan for further action, The chief difficulty lies in the disposi- tlon of the troublesomo rcbate questfon, ns & few companies are apparently nnwitling to give 1t up, und the plvot of the plan must bo rebate or no rebate. Yestorday the members of the Assaciation held n meeting, whereln a proposi- tiun was offered Lhnt the members of (he Asso- clation be requusted to deposit the sum of §1,000 in the hands of trustees asn forfeiture fund, cunditioned that for every violation of the tare i, willful or_accklental, the offending member hall be fined, and tho amount deducted from the. deposit fund mentioned, This scheme fs quifé popular, and the only parties who are ot~ posed to.it are the rgents of tho out-of-town comnanies.” In this movement lics the germ of arefueni or advance fn rates, which, {f success- ful Lieze, will syrealt alt over the couditry. METIODS TO COERCE NON-TARIPF COMPANIES, Already suggestions ‘ace, made that the pro- posed Tarf Association ehounld not be allowed 1o fall beenuse a small minority shall declhine to alhere toit. In yesterday's meeting, Mr. Hope, of the Contincntal, distinetly enunciated’ the doctrine that some liberty of action must be left tocompanies to compete with non-tarlft officos; ¢al Mr. Crowell, of the Phenlx, of Brooklyn, #aa even mure emphatic. He stated thatin the aresent attitude of tho business he felt like the traditlonnry Irishman st Donnybrook Falr, " Whenuver ho saw o head, ho bit it What he fanted was, to invite all the companica into tienew movement to udvance rates, and, if they wouldn't come fu, then “to go for them® by taking any risk on their books at anv-rata ob- faiushle. * This is the scntiment which underltes the enmestuess of tho present movemunt, for, although it may not at present umount to any- thing, vet this very agitation tende tocnll atten- tlon to tha nvccns{t of reform. There is no doubt that, If the ‘¥nrm Associstion Is once furmned successfully, there will bo warm work with the outafders, “Tiie smaller com- paies, living on dwelline=houss risks, will find thelr business cut aud siashed woree than ever before, e A WARNING OF AN DMMENSE DANOER.

Capltal and Labor, To the Editor of The Tribune. Ci10AGo, Jau, 19.—As often as I read of the fearful conflicts between ‘vanital and labor, of the strikes and lock-outs, which are necessarily attended with a loss of profits on onc slds ang of bread on the other, it occurs tome that there is o better woy. Money wagea to the Inborer, though fixed in amount, can never be fixed in value, The purchasing power of money de- pends upon the abundance or scarcity of other things,—of bread, of houscs for rent, of furni- ture, and clothing. Yet the proposition is un- donfablo that the reward of honest labor in any calling should siways bo_cqual to the cost of” these necesearles of life {n the hardest of times, while ordinarily it shoulil bo much nore, aud leaye a margin for luxuries, or for luvest- ment {o savinzs-banks. Now, suppose capitalista of every sort, who emoloy labor, should adunt the plan of furnish- g houses, fuod, and elothing to laborers aud thefr famiifes, prelimivary to and Indepeadent of the question of wages. Let this arrange- ment be a matter of course, and 1ts elfects in every way would be beneficent, Tho Inborer and his family would feel secuire, contented, nnd happy; and ha could notafford to give up his situntion and obandon house and homo for the chance of ralsing wages by Joining o atrike, Tho rate of wagea should bo agreed on for lonz terms,—for soycral months or a year,—and a contract should ba entered futo binding on both parties, This is no fanciful plan, It s the common practico with the farmers of the South.—1 may say, tho universal practice, aa it rerards furnish- inz a home, fuel, and provisions; and it would be manitestly to the advantage of the laborers, and no loss to the employer, {0 it were extended to the purchase of clothing: since any cless of articlos ean bhs pur- chused theaper In large quantities than o amall, Thossmu neinuple of economy would attend the flurnishing of provisions aud homea, ‘The employer could get twenty orahundred dwelliugs on better terms than a laborer coulil rent une; and in like manocr the employer could buy provisloua for twentv or o hundred famnilies cheapes n o laborer could buy for himself, This em I8 carried still” farthor in tha Bouth, by the aduption of the ro-operutive prin- ciple. In addition to furnishing a home, Tuel, sud provisions to the lnborers, the practice is cotnmon, also, of dividing the products of tho crops with them, instead of payinz wages, Aul this practico works wetl too, Wherever thero is peace and onder in the Bouth (and peace nnd order are_the rule, not the excoption) there Is lenty.
