(ad -~ / FICHTING A MONOPOLY. War of the Refiners Against the Standard Oil Company. Philadelphin Coming to the Front as an Ofl-Shipping Pert. Ehiladelphia Press, Sept. 2. About a month ago a number of in- dependent refiners of petroleum, that is, those outside the Standard Oil Company, met in Pittsburg for the purpose of forming an organization for their mutual protection. They afterward met in Cleveland and the association is now in working order. Most of those who compose it are prominent refiners of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo, Oil City, and the object of their combin- ing was to assist each other in the trade by keeping well informed as to prices and the movements of oil in different parts of the country. This movement, unmmportant as it may seem, is another step toward the cre-, ation of a healthy, business-like trade in oil. For years, as is well known, the whole business of producing oil has been under the control of the Standard Oil Com- pany, a giant concern which has in a few years, by fair means or foul, suc- ceeded in completely monopolizing the trade of one of the world’s most im- portant commodities. Two years ago every refiner and every producer of petroleum was compelled to pay trib- ute to the Standard. No man could ship a barrel of oil from the wells to the seaboard over any of the railroads, except upon the terms made by the Standard, which amounted to almost an entire prohibition of business. For years the oil men fought the Com- pany, which grew into a close and grinding monopoly. Thousands’ of small dealers were forced to give up their business or were ruined by fatal competition, until the Standard mono- polized the petroleum trade of the world. A few producers and refiners who could not be driven or squeezed out of the business remained to oppose the Company, and the eftects of the battle are just beginning to be felt. CARRYING OIL TO THE SEABOARD. The great problem was to get to the seaboard. Every avenue was under the control of the Standard, and it seemed as if the difficulty was insur- mountable, However, a few men, willing to risk their fortunes further in the fight before giving it up, met and determined to build a pipe line to Williamsport, where communication could be had with the Reading rail- road—a company which was not un- der the domination of the Standard Oil company. Subsequently a fight was made in the legislature for a free- pipe bill, under the leadership of Senator Lewis Emery, jr., and others who were interested in free and fair trade in oil. The bill was not heartily suppoorted by Philadelphia members and it failed. The Tidewater Pipe «company soon became an important institution. It bought it® right of way through the great wilderness of the northwestern portion of the. state and laid its pipes over the spurs of the Alleghenies and undgr the rivers that feed the broad Susque- hanna. The Standard fought the new company at every point and purchased thousands of acres of land to prevent the line reaching Williamsport. The Tidewater pipe company ran feint lipes anddid work away from their true line to deceive the Standard, fought pitched battles with railroad companies, and contested many points in the courts before they succeeded, but at last the pipe line from Bradford region to Williamsport was finished, and to-day 10,000 barrels. of oil are daily sent from the wells in McKean county to the freight cars in Lycoming This enterprise was the first successful opposition to the Standard com- pany. During the past year steps have been taken by refiners and railroads which have somewhat limi ed the power and privileges of the Standard., Under the management of President Roberts of the Pennsyl- vania railroad, the odious system of drawbacks, through which the Stand- ard company profited at the expense of legitimate trade in'petroleum, has been abolished. New refineries have sprung up at the tidewater—notably in the nity of this city, and they are able to get their crude oil outside of the lines and machinery controlled by the Standard company. All this is looked on as healthy for the trade in all parts of the world, and itis thought that the restrictions of former days in this great business are impos- sible. NATURAL TANKS OF PETROLEUM. The question of the production of petroleum has always been an import- ant one. The great natural tanks from which it is drawn are unseen by man and the supply is necessarily un- known. The trade haa scen the best promising fields described, and in the course of a few years, unless new dis- coveries are made, the production of petroleum will be reduced to its mini- mum. At present the great source of supply is the Bradford re- gion, in McKean County, which is now pumping (0,000 barrels daily During the month of August a noticeable dimunition of this supply has been apparent, and during this month a loss of 2,600 barrels per day will be shown. It is evident that, like all the other oil regions, the Bradford is beginning to fall off, and that in the near future the whole sup- Ply will be exhausted. New fields have been opened, but they are small, and the trade looks forward with in- terest to the discovery of oil territory which will keep up the supply which the markets of the world demand. The world-wide trading in this product of Pennsylvania is tremen- dous, The production of petroleum is almost wholly coufined to the Uni- ted States, and, indeed, to this state. Philadelphia is growing to be one of the largest shipping ports, Just now there are fifty-nine vessels loading and chartered to load at this port, with a carryint capacity of 341,400 barrels and 415,000 cases of oil. From Jan- uary 1, 1881, to September 23, there were 01,660,576 gallons of refined oil shipped from Philadelphia to Euro- pean ports, an increase over the cor- responding period of last year of 23,- 569,860 gallons refined oil. The shipments of crude and naphtha were also very heavy. The total exports from all American perts for the year to September 23 were 335,000,000 000 gallons, Ben, Perle Washington journalist, the following interesting reminis- cences of Garfield's _congressional career and early life in Washington to the Boston Journal: In the early winter of 1863, Maj. Gen. Garficld, then chief of the staft to Gen. Rosecrans, commander of the Army of the Cumberland, came to Washington to make a confidential re- port on the condizion of the only re- cently won laurels at the battle of Chickamauga, but he had been elected to congress by a vote of some 13,000 over 6,000 given to his democratic opponent, in the Western Reserve district of Ohio—a reading, thinking, praying community, of New England descent. Appreciating this civil honor, he was disposed to decline it that he might remain at the front with the Forty-second Ohio infantry, which ho had recruited and which was officered by those who had been his fellow-stu- dents or his pupils, But President Lincoln said no! He had an abundant supply of brave gen- erals, but his administration lacked defenders in the House of Represen- tatives who understood the wants of the army and navy; who could sccure the necessary appropriations of money: who could keep the treasury replen- ished by taxation, tariffs, and the emission of paper money, and who, above everything else, were sound upon the great question of emancipa- tion, then being forced upon the cour.- try by the southern secessionists as a war measure. Others seconded the president in his request that Gen. Garfield resign and take his seat in Congress, among them his personal friend, Whitelaw Reid (now editor of the New York Tribune), who had been with him on several campaigns as the war correspondent of the Cincin- nati Gazette. Mr. Reid had been transferred from field service to the Washington news bureau of that jour- nal, and he was also clerk to the house committee on military affairs. His arguments had great weight in per- suading Gen. Garfield to resign his military commission and to take his seat in the House of Representatives at the opening of the first session of the thirty-eighth Congress, on Mon- day, the §th of December, 1863. FIRST LEGISLATIVE ACTION, Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, the clerk of the preceding house, had undertaken to exclude a considerable number of members-elect, on the ground that their seats were con- tested. To admit these gentlemen was the first act of the republican ma- jority, and Gen. Garfield moved that the name of John McBride, who had credentials as the representative from Oregon, be placed upon the roll. De- manding the previous question, the resolution was passed, and the mover then clinched it by moving to recon- sider the vote by which the resolution was adopted, and also to lay the reso- lution to consider upon the table. He acquired a knowledge of parlia- mentary rules in the legiglature of Ohio. Schuyler Colfax was elected speaker, receiving 101 of 181 votes, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisi- ana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia were unrepresented. In the appointment of committees Gen. Garfield was named in the fourth place on the committee on military afiairs, of which Gen. Schenck was chairman, and his friend Whitelaw Reid acted again as clerk until he was appointed librarian of the house. In the drawing for seats Gen. Garfield was fortunate enough to secure one on the center aisle in the second row from the front. He had at his right hand Mr. Don- nelly, of Minnesota, and before him sat Mr. Baldwin, of Worcester, who had Oakes Ames at his right hand. Mr. Marvin, of New York, sat di rectly behind him, and Mr. Alley a few seats back, while across the aisle, on the democratic side, sat General Ward, of New York, Gen. Garfield was not accom- panied by his wife, and he boarded at the Metropolitan hotel, with Allen of Illinois, Coffroth, Dennison, and Stiles of Pennsylvania, George H. Pendleton gf Ohio, and the gitted but bibulous Saulsbury of Delaware. Mr. Blaine took his seat in the house for the first time, but it was Mr. Win- dom’s third congress. Massachusetts was ably represented by Messrs. Alley, Ames, Baldwin, Boutwell, Dawes, Eliot, Godch, Hooper, Rice and Washburn, Gen. Garfield early in the session, introduced a resolution ordering 10,- 000 extra copies of Gen. Rosecrans’ ofticial reports published, and he stood gallantly up for his old com- mander when it was proposed to pass him by 1 silence and to thank Gen. Thomas for gallant services at Chicka- mauga. Narrating the campaign, but modestly omiting any reterence to his own participation in it he said: “And who is this Gen. Rosecrans? The history of the country tells you, and your children know it by heart, It is he who fought battles and won victories in Western Virginia under the shadow of another’s name. When the poetic pretender claimed the honor and received the reward as the author of Virgil's stanza in praise of Cicsar, the great Mar.tuan wrote on the walls of the imperial palace— *‘Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit after hon- ores. . So might the hero of Rich Mountain say: ‘‘I won this battle, but another has won the liurels,’ “KFrom Western Virginia he went to Mississippi, and there won the battles of Pitka and Corinth, which have aided materially to exalt the fame of that general upon whom this house has been in such haste to confer the proud rank of lieutenant-general of the army of the Umted States, but who was not upon either of these battlefields,” 3 This sharp rap at Gen. Grant was the beginning of an opposition to him on the part of Gen, Garfield, which culminated in the national republican convention at Chicago, A PLUCKY PERSONAL EXPLANATION, When the Jenckes bankrupt bill came before the house, Gen. Garfield objected to 1t, because in his opinion it did not provide that the estates of rebels in arms should not escape the (?mrufiunfl of the law. He also showed that money was being raised to secure the enactment of the bill, and Mr, Spaulding, of the Cleveland Poore, the veteran contributes district, was prompted by M, gallons; same time last year, 232,000,- | Jenckes to “‘aye” or ‘‘nol” THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 30, sitedown on him." But 1. Garfield was not to be silenced easily, and quite a scone ensued. The next day Gen. Garfield rose to a per- sonal explanation, and said: “I made no personal reference whatever; | assailed no gentleman; 1 called no man's honor in question My colleague from the Cleveland dis- trict (Mr, Spaulding) rose and asked 1f 1 had read the bill. I answered him, I believe, in courteous language and manner, that I had read it; and immediately on my statement to that effect he said in his place in the house, and it has gone on the record, that he did not believe 1 had read it; in other words, that he belioved that T had lied, in the presence ot my peers in this house. T felt, under such circumstances, that 1t would riot be becoming my self-respect, nor the respect I owe to the house, to con- tinue a colloquy with any gentleman who had thus impeached my veracity, and T said so. ‘It pains me very much that a gen- tleman of vencrable age, who was in full maturity of life when I was a child, should have taken occasion here in his place te use language so un- called for, 8o ungenerous, so unjust to me, and disgraceful to himself, 1 have borne with the ill-nature and bad blood of that gentleman, as many others in this house have, out of re- spect to his years; but no immunity of age shall shield him or any man from my denunciation who is lacking in the propricties of this place as to be guilty of such parlinmentary and per- sonal indecency as the house has wit- nessed on his part. 1 had hoped that before this time he would have acknowldged to me the impropriety and unjustifiableness of his conduct and apologized for the insult. Buthe has not seen fit to take that course. I leave him to his own reflections, and his conduct to the judgment of the house.” This little episode conviticed the house that Gen. Garfield was not to be snubbed or insulted with impunity, and before the close of the first con- gress ho had come forward into the ranks of the select few who control the proceedings of the house, the rest of the representatives merely voting He could not com- pare with some of his colleagues in oratory or the graces of the forum, but he was never weakened, as some of them were, with vanity and lack of sincerity. There were more astute lawyers, keener satirists, more subtle politicians, and abler rhetorivians in the house than James A. Garfield, but no representative carried more convic- tion in his words, than he did. Gen. Garfield used to take pleasure in conversing with the ‘‘old stagers” in the reporters’ gallery about the leading statesmen of the past. In his opinion, often expressed, the men of sound judgment, like Washington, had made a more enduring impress upon the character and history of our institutions than the brilhant men. Hamilton, he said, was master of a brilliant styie, ckear and bold in con- ception and decisive in execution; Jefferson was profoundiy imbued with a philosophie spirit; but whether in the camp or in the cabinet, the quality that rose above all the other great gifts of the period was the comprehensive ~and unerr- ing judgment of Washington. He used to express his regret that there were Tio especial training-schools for statesmanship, as for the other pro- fessions, and cite John Quincy Adams as the only American youth ever trained with special veference to the political service of his country. En- tering the great field of statesmanship, Gen. Garfield endeavored to qualify himself for its highest honors, and he succeeded Experientia Dooet. ‘We must tell some men a great deal ‘to teach them a little, but the knowledge of the curative properties of SPRING BLOS- S0M in cases of sick headache, indigestion, and biliousness is bought by experience, Price 50 cents, trial bottles 10 cents.
