Tbe Petroleum basluess wbiob In short dozen yesti basassemsd an Importance only third In extent and value among the miner al products ol tbe country, teemed a prize wertb going far. ' FRCMRIKO TO GOBBLS. For a'ycsr patt'tbe reBoerr of Cleveland and Pittsburgh have not made money, as they say, and attribute It to tbe general mismanagement of tbe Petroleum business here. ' TM TIDI C1VII consists In tbe laet Ibat tbeir refiners are located at too great a distance from tbe place of production. Refining esn only be made profitable at ihe plate of produclloa Tbe producer naturally decline.te otvi a bokcs, to Cleveland or Pittsburgh refiners, to en able tbrm to compete witb tbe refloeV on the Creek. Tbe difference in tbe Cost of re doing In tbe two localities, Is little less Ibsn tbe cost of freight. It bst become, fiosci ally A JliTTCB OF LIVI OR DliTH witb the outside refiners to f fleet this. Be ing isrrseen, some time ago, this charter was fitbed up, and tbe organization of tbe Southern Improvement Company effeotrd' undrr tbolr charter. , WHO THY A. Tbe company eenslstt efthe leading re finers of Pittsburgh and Cleveland, and one or two. brokers and aommiisien men of Philadelphia end New York. These wor thies formed a plaoto monopolize tbe en tire Petroleum business; and a short time since presented lb lor (the consideration of tbe several managements of TBI Oil) KISION lAILKCADI. A ieversbls rate oflrelgbts, and ibe grant ing of a drawback to ail members ol tbe S. I.

H. Watson, ol tbe L. S & M. S. R- R. as tbo srbltrator. UOW TBBT ACCOMPLISHED TBIS: The S. I. Co. repivaeoled to tba railroad' eompaniea that tbey owned or coo trolled all the Creek lefioeriee, and represented tbe bulk of tbe refining interests ol Cleveland and Pitisburgb, and oould easily secure the producing Interest. They In laet bad pos session or Til EKTIRC FITROLIllt TRAM, and that this being Ibe esse, tbey would handle tbe business, make frsighls uniform and effect a pertsot revolution ol tbe Petro leum trade. TIC IABOAIV U APE, . .tbe virtuous members of tbe monopoly put their own refineries into tbe eompeny at par, and went to work buying out ibe other refineries for thirty per cent, upon tbe cost' of construction. By a 0R0S8 WUSTATCHSKT OF FACTS tbey bave auooeeded In obtaining control or tba entire refining Intervals ol Cleveland, except 2,000 barrels per day, and tare eflVc- ted the same thing, nearly,.

T he general np-rlslog of Ibe people ol tbe Oil Region has demonstrated tbe laet tba1 tbev will alsnd bv tbe Creek refiners, and 'be two Combined, will be enabled to crush tbe monopoly In tbe start. Tbe people of tbe OH Region feel oompbteot lo msosge tbeir Own business. TBI a. I.

On Ibis tbey were le be allowed err average drawback of one dollar per barrel, making Ik reby fS,oeo,S0 per annum bbt of the oil pro ducing Interests, besides being enabled to monopolize tbe whole Oil region. HOW THE FHILAXTHR0F1BTS ARB MET. The producers, relobrf, and general peo ple of Ibe Oil Region, are a unit In their opposition to tbe monopoly, and bave re solved te organize fully a Protective Asso ciation that will prevent tbo Seuthero 1m provement Company Ifom Obtaining A IINOLB BARRRL OF OIL. Our petpre are competent te manage their affairs successfully, and fall to recognize auy right tbe S. I. Co. bave lo Ibe monopoly 0 tae tame. All we ask. lit A FAIR CBAKCB. Fair rates of freight, with no drawbatki or discrimination of aoy kind. Our prices we are willing should be reduced only by the fixed laws of supply nod demand, by tbe privilege to sell ell to austomeri who will give tbo most for It, We want Ibe whole world for customers, and are unwilling lo be under tbe power of any outside orgou na tion. We beve lully organized to crush out monopolies of all kinds. We bave Ibe powtr sad will gain tbe viotory. Duriog ourjUgbt we reasonably expect tbe sympathy of eH men) opposed to unprincipled monop olies, that are sucking tbe lile blood Irom tbo people, and paralysing every InJuilrie brsnob' of business In roe ceontry. Smawlev, the well known drayman of lb In place, concluded a short time sins, ibat a timet were dull end money light, he wouldt take a "n.w departure' and seek "new field aud pastures green." Accordingly like tbe Arab,- be "folded bis tent and silently stele away1 as be supposed to tie more busy fields of Oil City.
