wcre net producers of oil, but received
their crude oil rrem the Pennsylvania
Holds. The capacity of their refinery twas
eix hundred barrels per day.
Tn 1S70 they became incorporated under
the laws of Ohie us "The Standard Oil
Company," with u capital of ene million
dollars and n rcllning capacity of ever u
thousand barrels per day ; that Is te say, a
capacity for doing about ene-tenth el all
the oil rellnlng of the country at that time.
Thore were many ether rcllning firms uud
companies in existence, seme et' v. lilcli had
equal plant, equipment mid capacity.
The location of the Standard ut Cleveland
was net an advantageous one. The numer
ous rellncrles nearer the oil fields and the
seaboard held superior iosi(iens uud en
Joyed cheaper transportation facilities.
The Eastern rellucrles w ere conscious or
their advantage in nusltlun. and imld llltln
Iieed totlieOhiecomiiuuv, which, however,
seems very tarly te have conceived an
ambition for controlling the rciiuiiig busi
ness of the country, and its means of con
quest were, we may boliee, suggested te
it by its very Inferierity In location, and,
as he often happens, out of its dilllcultlcs
grew Its greatness. HoferolH".J the Standard
Oil company possessed all the rellucrles in
Cleveland, having ollecteil their acquisition
by the Issue eran additional million and a
half of stock.
In January, 1S72, a pie.it uproar was
suddenly raised among the producers and
refiners in Pennsylvania by the discovery
Unit a certain .Southern Imprecmcut com
pany had consummated n secret contract
with Iho Pennsylvania railroad company,
te which also the Erie A New Yerk Central"
had hecome pirtfes, by which It was te
have oil r;htpied at rates ranging fiein 10
cents te ?l.:i-j per barrel cheaper than unv
ether shipper who did net ship an equal
amount and possess and use works, means
und iacllities for carrying en and promot
ing the petroleum trade equal te Itself.
The Southern Improvement company
bad ene of the special chuitcrs which In
these days weie frequently obtained fiein
the Pcnnsyli aula Legislature, net Ter use
but for bale. In ether words, the Southein
Improvement company or Pennsylvania
was leally the Standaul OH company
of Ohie, and as that company was
new the largest shipper of oil,
preferential rates secured by it
would apply te no ether re'tlnery.
The Legislature quickly lepealed the
charter of the .Southern Improvement com
pany, and no business was dene under its
contract with the ruiliead company. Moro Mero More
ovoron Match 25, MT2, a solemn conven
tion in writing was cutcicd into by all
parties, whereby it was covenanted that all
arrangements thereafter for shipping oil
should be en a basis or perfect equality te
all shippers, and no discrimination or "any
kind whatsoever be allowed. It will be
seen that the Standard mauagcis had
learned the Tavorite device of the lailiead
managers that or the subsidiary corpora
tion -and had re-erted te it in u dating and
masterly movement, which, however, had
been quickly detccted and foiled.
The Pennsylvania i diners had scored a
sreat victory, us they believed, but their
tlieam el piesperity was short. With en
larging muikcts for the pieduct, the refin
ing business blimrisl in tlm course of a ten
yeuis finishing prelltsand glowing losses.
One of the tltly-twe refiners then opera
ting in Western Pennsylvania gave te the
Heuse committee, a graphic account of his
Mrugglcs against the inevitable and his
final sweep into bankruptcy. He owned a
prosperous refinery, witti u capital of $300,
000, a modern plant, with every dovice fei
economical pioductien and for working up
the by-products. Yet matters passed fiein
bad te worse. He began te suspect the
ralli ead companies. With delegation after
delegation he (sited Philadelphia und im
plored the Pennsylvania raihead authoii autheii
lcs for fair treatment and living rales.
Fnally the continued prosperity of the
Standard OH company caught hisattontleu,
Its business increased se fast that he be
came satisfied he had reeegnUcd in it the
" element" of danger. As n last desperate
resort he went te soe the piesident or the
Standard Oil company. The answer was
brief and decislve : "There is no liope for
any of us, but the weakest must go llrst."
And thus he sank into bankruptcy, and the
leasiief his work passed te the .Standard,

Mr. Cassatt testified that his leinpany
as jMiylug te this ceuipauy twenty-two
and a half cents per barrel en all oil carried
ever its read, no matter by whom shlpsxl,
and Ms order te the comptroller or his
cempauy directing such rebate te be paid
cat e as the reason for the allowance that it
had been proved te his satisfaction that a
like or even Rrcater sunt per barrel was
wild te the American Transfer company by
the Krie and New Yerk Central companies.
Thirteen million seven hundred and fifty
thousand barrels of oil wcre shipped ever
these three trunk lines, en which, at the
ratoef twonty-tweand a half cents per bar
rel, the American Transrer company
received from them the sum of $.i,0!U,"eO.
The Ktuplre Transortatle!i company
was a corporation owning a large number
of cars running ever many railroad Hues.
It threatened the mouenolv of the Htandaid
and that cempauy demanded its exclusion
from the lines of the Pennsylvania com
pany, alleging as the reason that no carrier
should likewise be a rctlner. The com
pany refused, and the Standard withdrew
Its freight and compelled the ether trunk
Hues te begin a war of rates en the Penn
sylvania company.
This lasted for several months and until
that company raised the white flag. At tlie
demand of tlie Standard it closed an op
tion which it held en the property of the
Umpire Transportation company, itself ac
quiring all tlie cars, und the pipe lines and
letiueries being conveyed te that one of
its own affiliated corporations which the
Stand'ird selected. Thus had the creature
beceme tlie master and shown itself
greater than the eoreration whose favorit
ism chiefly had built it up.
Hew could a sltigle shipper get such dis
criminations in its favor as te blot out com
petitors? The railroad managers reply that it bo be bo
caine necessary for them as competing
carriers te concentrate the oil tralllc lu one
hand, lu order te avoid a flcrce uud losing
fight among theuw-clvcs for Its transporta
tion, uud that their favoritism te this ene
sli' jiper was for that purpose, and in con
sideration of that shipper's guaranteeing te
each ene Its share of the carrying business
en rates that at least afforded some com
pensation. Tills explanation is discredited
liy the fact that they had already agreed
upon a division of the business or trans
IHjrtlng oil. The president el" the Kmpire
company testified that thcre was no reason
why a shipper or many carloads should
have better rates than the shipper or ene
carload.
The unanimous testimony is that a re
bate or ten cents per barrel would have
concentrated business as inevitably as tlie
rebates allowed.
In the cise or the American Transier
company, already noted, the implication Is
li resistible that soine or its immctise earn
ings went through hidden channels te the
railroad managers. But it is right te add
that no proerr this was offered, and thore
is nothing te sustain Mich an iufercuce but
the well-knew n operation and purpese or
the parasite corporation w here tlntt opera
tion and purpese have been disclosed.
After the revelations of the Cassatt testi
mony, and the consentient institution of
many suits, It became clear that uch dis
criminations were no longer iHissible, and
the Standard constructed or acquired its
own plpe lines te tldoiyater, una tlie rail
road companies lest the businesH of oil
transportation, except tlie Pennsylvania
railroad company, witli which the' Stand
ard made a contract guaranteeing It a moil meil
e?t per cent, or this carrying business, in
order te keep up freight rates, thus again
tecuring itself by itscheapcrpipotrunspoi itscheapcrpipetrunspoi itscheapcrpipotrunspei
tatlon a great advantage ever its rivals ; for
us the railroad company was te receive but
a fixed per cent, or the carrying trade, any
reduction in Its rates would eperate as a
leduetien in its revenues.

The Pittsburg Dwjmtch gives the follow
ing facts about sugar, in tlie coiirte of an
interview with a Southern cengressman:
" In June, 18sS, the avcrage prlce of
granulated sugar w as tij cents a pound, and
the tigtties 1 urn about te give you arc the
i diners' prices. On July 0 the piice was
raised te 7 cents and en the 11th te 72. In
August II ran through the month ut about
7 U-KI. In .September and through the
mouths w lieu a vast amount or canning is
done, it uveraged about 7?, and atler the
I'lose or the canning season, when the sales
decreascd, It went ofTte7,iind in January
lbs9, it was only 7 cents.
"March 14 It was quoted at 71c, en the
20th at 7c, and en the 27th at 7. On April
li) at Me, en the 17th ut blc en June at
8Jc, en the 15th nt Oc, en tlie 25th at 01c,
and en July Oat 93c. It cost my grocer,
with all his facilities, OK' te have his sugar
laid down In trout of his deer, and he sells
it at 10 cents a pound. Tlieie is nothing in
it fur him at that price, but it is se high
that he daie net raise te 101e until he is
compelled te de se. Many el the smaller

quantities, uie forced new te sell at 11 cents
u pound.
"New, what does that mean te the
sugar ti list?
"The consumption or sugar in the
I'liited during the last vear la estimated
at about 1,200.000 tens. This means that
the peeple or the country have been robbed
during the last 12 months of about $70,000,
000 by the honest gentlomen or the sugar
trust. It means that u row individuals,
licensed te conduct a legitimate business,

and transferml it te their own jackets,

JOHNSTOWN t'ltOTESTS.
Itesolutleus Adopted by nCltlzeiis Mans
Meeting u Saturday.
The Presbyterian church in Johnstown,
with a capacity of 1,200, was filled Satur
day afternoon with a thoroughly repre
sentative body of citlrens te pretest against
the manner In which the relief fund was
being distributed. Hurgess Herrell was
called te the chair, uud in u brlcfsiiccch
outlined (he object or the meeting, and
said (hat the peeple or the valley should
themselves have the disbursement or tlie
contributions Intended for them, as the
state commission had shown their Inca
pacity for the work. A committee en
lesolutieus was apoluted, and the follow
ing adopted :
JteieUal, That we respectfully and earn
estly request that the fund contributed for
the relief or the sullercrs by the disastrous
flood which devastated the Cenemimgh
valley be as speedily as possible distribu
ted in inoney directly te the tieople te
whose bcucllt It was donated, anil that all
purchases, contracts mid oipenses te be
mid for out or this fund Immediately cease;
(hat any hoarding up of this fund te meet
the prenleniatleal future wants will mater
ially diminish its usefulness uud only re
suit in delaying te a mero distant tlme the
restoration oNienies, or business, or Indus
try and or cenlldence. II wilt de mere
geed In the hands of the people new than
at any tlme hereafter; that we repudiate as
Insulting te the manhood uud Intelligence
of our citizens, new that the avenues of
trade are opened up, the Imputation that
they cannot and will net wisely and eco
nomically disburse any funds placed In
their hands, and because of this Imputation
the arrogant assumption that guardians
must supervise our expenditures, control
our disbursements, purchase our supplies
uud make our contracts.
Itcsehal. That lr the statement Imputed
le his oxcelleney, Governer llcuver, that u
million and a half of dollars has alic.idy
been expended lu Johnstown mid vicinity
has any foundation lu fact, il is the strongest
posslble argument that expending relief
funds lu contracting for buildings, quarter
master uud commissary supplies is net it
wise, judicious or economical way of dis
bursing such funds, when the ordinary
sources of supply are opened up. Only by
gross oxtravagauce and carelessness could
such a sum have been used here, and the
peeple have received no adequate icturii
for the expenditure of se large uu amount.
JU.ieliril, That the disbursement of the,
fund subscribed for relief directly te the
sufferers by the Heed will stimulate busi
ness, will pi ovide weik for our builders
and trade for our met chants, will provlde
labor for our artisans and will tend te re
st ero conthlcnce lu the community, mid
vv III thus directly and Indirectly help these
for whom the lund was Intended; while
uny ether ceuise at this iluy savers or jobs,
iciieuuds le the beneilt oriien-ieslilent con
tractors and business men having no inter
ests in this community, and unjustly dis
criminates against our own citUeus.
Jteaelvcrf, That it Is unfair and unjust te
exuet an oath as te prlvate Income and ro
ller before the bounteous charity of our
countrymen can be distributed te lis beno bene
llciaries. Ilcietreri, Thai we hereby uppeal te (he
custodians or funds at Philadelphia, New New
Yerk, Phtshurg and ether localities te
transmit the funds In tlielr hands Intenile 1
for Ceiicmaugli Vulley sullcrers direct te
our local lluiince commlttce, te be distribu

upon requisitions ofthe beaid el Inquiry
upon such lair, cqultable basis as may he
adopted, and we Invite the co-operation of
such custodians lu making such distribu

her rather and was really out of danger
when tlie deg sprang up in front
or her. but the noble brute had
done his duty lu guarding her. He
sprang clear of the rocks and landed ou
his feet en tlie beach 120 leet below. It
was a remarkable escape, for the deg is ox ex ox

such a leap, without breaking limbs, seems
impossible. Heyend u fevv cuts en his feet
