was an exceedingly bold and daring attempt; and as the authors of it were caught they ‘should be made to serve as a warning, Insurance Frauds and Failures. The Monitor Mutual Company, of Boston, thas failed, with ass:ts of only two millions against liabilities of fiftcen millions, of which more thanam Ilion dollars are far outstand- ing risks, This disaster, like the disasters which recenily be‘ell the Great Western Mutual and tie Farmers and Mechanics’, of New York, revives the distrast in fire and life insurance occasioned in England last year by tho crushing failure of several grent British Sompantes, The public mind in Great Britain is étill agilated by discussions which then arose as to devising sume means for protecting the community by legislative interference with the insurance business. A bill was Introduced into the House of Commons by the Right Hon, Mr. Cave, a large portion of which was described by thi: Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lowe, as consisting “in a sort of family resemblance to the very stringent laws that had been passed in the State of Massachusetts,” The failure of the Monitor Muinal is tha more remarkable that it has occurred in Massachusetts, where, through the influence of Mr. Eligur Wright and other authorities on the subject of insurance, official inspection has been reduced to what was considered an almost perfect and certainly an effective sys- tem. In the debate on the bill to which allu- ‘sion has been made the Chancellor of the Ex- choquer also referred to the ‘‘despotic” con- trol exercised in New York ovor the com- panies, and to the testimony adduced ‘that those American offices had certainly succeeded in giving the greatest confidence in the system of life assurance which prevailed in” the United States, The important practical advantages of the “despotic” control referred to by Mr. Lowe were conclusively shown by the prompt energy with which Mr. G. W. Miller, the able Super- intendent of tie Insurance Department | Albany, recently enforced, to the great benefit of policy hold:rs, the supervision he!d over the life assurance companies of New York city. No sooner had the Great Western Mutual become involved in fluancial difficulties than it was compeiled, under a decision of the Superintendent and in accordancs with the strict law of the State, to surrender the management of its affairs, Mr. Sidaey Ash- more, editor of the Protector, an influential journal devoted to insurance interests, says that the failure of this company cannot be attributed to any defect in the, system, but rather, perhaps, to mismagagement. He adds that its significance is in the exemplification it affords of the admirable working of the law, which, having carefully watched the “‘roserve fund” in the hands of ihe company, comes for- ward at once, when this is threatened with encroachment, to protect the interests of the assured. It is manifestly on a vigilant supervision of this “reserve fuud,” and on prompt interfer- ence 80 soon as the discovery shall be made, that it is in danger of being infringed upon, gither through mismanagement or through dishonesty, that tue public can mainly rely as voth preventive and remedy against insurance frauds and failuces. The distrust which some have expressed in fire and life insurance com- panies on account of the costly buildings erected by them and of the princely salaries accorded to their chief officers is altogether unfounded, Such palaces as the Equitable Life Assurance Society and other great compa- nies have lately built are not only architectu- ral ornaments to the city, but are also very xemunerative invesiments. The Equitable Building, for instance, which cost 9 little.over two millions, yields a yearly rental of more than one hundred and twenty thousand dol- Jara, beside leaving the offices of the company rent free, thus making it equivalent to a ten er cent investment. The kind of investments in which alone the charter of a_New York ‘company allows it to place its continually acoruing funds is in itself a valuable guarantee, No security can be selected which would not be acceptable to the most careful investors, such, for example, as ‘bonds of the government and of the State in which the society resides, and real estate within the State of New York, or immediate neighborhood of the city of New York, either to bold in fee or to grant loans upon.” The salaries paid to the principal officers of the great New York companies com- pare reagonably with those received by officers of the great companies in England, where ex- perience has established the fact that only ample salaries can secure the requisite combi- ‘nation of the best executive talent and the highest integrity, With such guarantees as we have specified, with regular and frequent sworn statements of the auditing committees, with strict accountability on the part of the officers for even minor outlays, with thorough examinations on the part of the State inspec- tor, with the utmost vigilance over the condi- tion of the reserve fund and with the rigid ‘enforcement of all the provisions of the State insurance laws, insurance frauds and failures must henceforth be rare exceptions, which ‘only prove the rule that the Massachusetts and New York companies are, for the most part, worthy of the confidence enjoyed by them throughout the country.
