Money and braina have been expended
for yearn in trying to apply the dootrinea
of averages and chances protection
JMiiilnst financial misfortune and "crooked
Jieaa." It waa readily Keen that If mann
iacturess and wholesale merchants, who

ould be Infrared against loss by the va
garies of their debtors, the harvest o(
premiums would be enormous,
The dlflloulty waa, however, how to ad
Just matters so that the ae Her would not
become reckless in the granting of oredita,
knowing that he waa inaured, Bnd the
hurer careless of his oliligatlnm, knowing
that hia creditor was protected.
The problem ha lawn solved in two dif
ferent waya, and four or five different cou-
-: ecrns, big aud little, ire now competing
(or the business uf the-wholwiale houaea,
large jobbers and manufacturers. The
first general plan may he called the Indi
vidual or personal guarantee plan. The
second ban a general and irapereonal guar-

The aecond plan la to Insure the creditor
airainst losses generally without refereuoe
to the debtors, ao long aa aaid tosses are in
curred while doing business within certain
stipulated rules. Another Hue of division
may be drawn between schemes In which
only eimwea over a stipulated average loss

PLAN OF THK HUSlNHBg,
The individual guarantee plan la being

nd baa been on trial (or many years, but
lias not come into general nee. The basis
of the system must be an onmnir.atir.ii
almilur to the well known mercantile
- agencies, i ne eompnuy must have accu
ral inforniatlnu as to the financial stand
ing of every debtor. From this they esti
mate the risk and Ax the premium which
they will charge In guaranteeing hia obll-
:. atlona. .
in the bookaof one o( the latest o( these
oouipaniea the mercantile world Is divided
into aeven olaaaes, like Shakespeare's seven
ages, first aiimi' claaa "A," wboae mem
liers have been uniformly successful In
business, never suffered from even a tem
porary embarrassment and are of undoubt
d probity.
Next to this "gilt edge" clam comes class
"It," whose members have had their liuan
flial gilding slightly taruiabed. And so the
scale desmnda until class "G" is reaohed,
which Include those who have failed in the
jiaat end aro likely to do no again,
This classification haauothing to do with
the extent of the firm's possessions. It la
qualitative, not quantitative.

The company will not Issue any more poli

When a claim hue not been paid It Is as

, The next clnaslllcation Is with regard to
n,ue nanara or tne nuauiesa which is in ques
tion. There are four gradea. Probably a
.powder mill would be put in tho fourth
grade, while the firm handling the staple
and nou-perlshable articles of food would
come in the llrat grade.
Again they are clntwlfied as to the gross
amount of business done a year. This is
called rating. Thus the Thurber-Whyiand
company would be rated at 114,000,000, as
-tboji amount Is about the volume of a year's
burliness of that modest concern.
All of these things win he taken Intoao
count In fixing the rate or per cent, of pre
mium when a subscriber of the guarantee
company says, "l'vcaold John Jones 11,000
worth of goods at sixty days, and I want
the account Insured."
After looking over the books the clerk
would say perhaps, -"The rata on Mr. Jones
. Is 5 pur cent., but be is limited to (9,000 of
risk and we are already carrying $4,600, so
wo cau only take 1500, or half youra'coount,
aud the proiiim on that will amount to
twenty live dollars. "-New York Trlbuue.
