Where It lite Credit.
Some of the frlendt of Ibe retlnert who
woald loipote on Ibe producers, hy claimtog
to be devoted ta their intnresti also, plenti
fully besprinkle with tweet praties tne re
finer who are taking oil at three dollar
and twenty-five cent! a barrel. DouMleat
the refiners and their triendi are greatly de
lighted with aforeaaid praitea, and in the
fiilleneei Innocauee of their beartt suppose
tbat the ioiiIi ol the ptoducert are filled
with the lame serene joy and exultation.
Wouldthat they were, hut aoojebnw wefolka
down bere in II producing ooi ry don't
feel juat at present Sik falling on our knee
in bumble adoration of tbe great combina
tion. If Ibe reflnera are paying three dollar
and wont;-five ceula a utirrol, crude, at
Common pointa, merely for Ibe lake of abid
ing by Ibeir agreement, Iben we will give
them credit for ao much of bnman nature
mixed with tbeir lion-like disposition that
Ibey are willing to ihare the lion'a ipoila
with Iboae from whore thoae ipoilt are
taken, allotting them, however, a micro
copa share. But w don't believe even In
this. Suppeae Ibe price ol crude goet down
to a dollar a barrel Tbat decline ia koown
In Europe at once. Tne reflnera
bava enorinom itoclct oo band, when tbey
bought at a much higher figure, and theie
atocki they are holding at twentyaarveu and
a half centi per gallon of refined . Export
er will not buy at thtt figure. There is no
reaion to luppote a ring between ezporlera
and refioert, for Ibla buiioeia cn be ex
plained without. Suppose an exporter
loads bit veiael with tweoty-aevee and a
halt cent oil and while eroding the Allan
tit crude falla to a dollar. The Aotwerp
inporter bear of tbat fall at once, aud by
the time the cargo of tbe exporter arrive,
Ibe importer will not py bim enougn for
profit od voyage expecaea, when crude
stands at a dollar. Tnere ia tvery teat in
tbe world for ttlie refiner to keep crude
above a ridiculously low figure, for they are
aurer of large profiit anl much moro regular
one .
We think the mere pecuniary inteteal is
tbe cole guile of tbe refinera and that nice
queationa of morality are left fur Ibnte wbo
practice them mure. So long a tbi i the
case we don't feel like landing mere biehiy
theie men beeauae tbey are looking nut tor
tbemae va. The diacreptnev between
crude and refined ia so great already lha
