FIGHTING A MONOPOLY.
War of the Rofluera Against
the Standard Oil Company.
Philadelphia Coming to the Front
us tin Oll-SUlppliiR Fart-
I'liltadctphla PrcM , Sept. 20.
About a month ago n nunibor of in
dependent relinors of petroleum , that
is , these outside the Standard Oil
Company , mot in Pittsburg for the
purpose of forming nn organization
for their mutual protection. They
nftcrwnrd met in Cleveland and the
association is now in working order.
Most of those who compose it are
prominent refiners of Philadelphia ,
I'ittsburg , Cleveland , llutlhlo , 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
difl'prcnt parts of the country. This
movement , unimportant as it may
seem , is another atop toward the creation - .
ation of a healthy , business-liko trade
in oil. For years , as is well
known , the whole business of
producinp 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 grow into a close and
grinding monopoly. Thousands of
small dealers were forced to give up
their business or wore ruined by fatal
competition , until the Standard mono
polized the petroleum trade of the
world. A few producers and refiners
who could not bo driven or squeezed
out of the business remained to oppose
the Company , and the eilects of the
battle are just beginning to bo felt.
CAURYINO Oil * TO THE SEABOAUl ) .
The great problem was to get to the
seaboard. Every avenue was under
the control of the Standard , and it
corned 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
" \Villiamsport , where communication
could be had with the Heading railf
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
supported by Philadelphia members
and it failed. The Tidewater Pipe
company soon became an important
institution. It bought its right
of way through the great wilderness
of the northwestern portion of
tho. state and laid its pipes over the
spurs of the Alleghenies and undqr
the rivers that feed the broad Susquo-
hanna. The Standard fought the now
company at every point and purchased
thousands of acres of land to prevent
the line reaching Williamsport. The
Tidewater pipe company ran feint
lijics and did 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 McKcan
county to the freight cars in Lycoming
This enterprise was the first successful
opposition to the Standard com
pany. During the past year stops
have been taken by refiners and
railroads which have somewhat limited - ,
ed the power and privileges of the
Standard. Under the management
of President lloberts 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
boon abolished. Now refineries have
sprung up at the tidewater notably
in the vicinity of this city , and they
are able to got 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 it is
thought that the restrictions of former
days in this great business are impos
sible.
NATU1UL TANKS OK I'KTHOir.UM.
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 has , seen the best
promising fields described , and in the
course of a few years , unless now dis
coveries are made , the production of
petroleum will bo reduced to its mini
mum. At present the great source
of oupply is the Bradford re
gion , in McKean County , which
is now pumping (10,000 barrels
daily' During the month of August
a noticeable dimunition of this supply
has been apparent , and during this
month a loss of 2,500 barrels per day
will bo 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 bo exhausted. Now 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 confined to the Uni
ted States , and , indeed , to this state.
Philadelphia is growing to bo one of
the largest shipping ports. Just now
there are fifty-nine vessels loading and
chartered to load at this port , with a
carrying capacity of 3U-100 barrels
and 415,000 cases of oil. From Jan
uary J , 1881 , to September 2.'I , there
wore 01,059,570 gallons of refined oil
shipped from Philadelphia to Euro
pean ports , an increase over the cor
responding period of last year of 23- ,
F > G,865 ! gallons refined oil. The
shipments of crude and naphtha were
also very heavy. The total exports
from all American ports for the year
to .September 2tf wore y35,000,000 ,
gallons ! same time last year , -'Jl OOO ,
000 gallons.
Reminiscences of Garflolil.
Hon. Porloy Pooro , the veteran
Washincton journalist , contributes
the following interesting reminis
cences of Garfiold's ' congressional
career nnd early life in AVaslnngton to
the Boston Journal :
In the early winter of 18Gfl , Mnj.
Gen , Oarficld , then chief of the stall
to Gen. Kosccrans , commander of the
Army of the Cumberland , came to
Washington to make a confidential report -
port an'tho condition of the only recently -
cently won laurels at the battle of
Chickamaugft , but ho had been elected
to congress by a vote of some 13,000 ,
over 0,000 given to his democratic
opponent , in the Western Reserve
district of Ohio a reading , thinking ,
praying community , of Now England
descent. Appreciating this civil honor ,
ho 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 oiHcorcd
by these who had been his fellow-stu
dents or his.pipils ! ,
But President Lincoln said no ! He
had an abundant supply of bravo gen
erals , but his ndmumtration lacked
defenders in the House of Keproson-
tativcs who understood the wants of
the army and navy ; who could secure
the necessary appropriations of money :
who could keep the treasury replen
ished by taxation , tarilfs , 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 coun
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 , Whitolaw Reid ( now editor of
the Now York Tribune ) , who had
been with him on several campaigns
the war correspondent of the Cincin
nati Gazette , fttr. Reid had bnen
transferred from field service to the
Washington news bureau of that jour
nal , and ho 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 7th of December , 18G3.
MUST LEGISLATIVE ACTION.
Emerson Etheridgo. 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 , bo 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 legislature 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 th
committee on military affairs , of which
Gen. Schenck-j\yi8 chairman , and his
friend Whitelaw Reid acted again as
clerk until ho 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.
Ho had at his right hand Mr. Don-
nellv , 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 Now
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.
Pondleton gf Ohio , and the pitted but
bibulous Saulsbury of Delaware. Mr.
Blaine took his seat in the house for
the first time , but it was Mr. Win-
don's third congress. Massachusetts
was ably represented by Messrs.
Alloy , Ames , Baldwin , Boutwoll ,
Dawes , Eliot , Gorfch , Hooper , Rico
and Washburn.
Gen. Garfield early in the session ,
introduced a resolution ordering 10- ,
000 extra copies of Gen. Rosecians'
official reports published , and ho
stood gallantly up for his old com
mander when it was proposed to pass
him by in silence and to thank Gen.
Thomas for gallant services at Chicka-
mauga. Narrating the campaign , but
modestly omiting any reference to his
own participation in it ho said :
"And who is this Gen. Roaecrans ?
The history of the country tolls you ,
and your children know it by heart.
It is ho who fought battles and won"
victories in Western 'N'irginia under
the shadow of another's name. When1
the poetic pretender claimed the honor
and received the reward as the author
of Virgil's stanza in praise of Ciusar ,
the great Mar. tnan wrote on the walls
of the imperial palace
"Hos ego vcruicnlo-i feci , tulit after lion-
ores. " .
So might the hero of Rich Mountain
say : "I won tlifs battle , but another
has won the laurels. '
"From Western Virginia ho wont
to Mistiissippi , and there won the
battles of Pitk'a and Corinth , which
have aided materially to exalt the
fame of that general upon whom this
house has boon in such haste to confer
the proud rank of lieutenant-general
of the army of the United States , but
who was not upon either of these
battlefields. "
This sharp rap at Gen , Grant was
the beginning of an opposition to him
on the part of Gen. Gurfield , which
culminated in the national republican
convention at Chicago.
A I'LUCKY I'KUHONAL KXl'LANATION.
When the Jonckos bankrupt bill
came before the house , Gen. Garfield
objected to it , because in his opinion
it did not provide that the estates of
rebels in arms should not escape the
operations of the law. Ho also
showed that money was being raised
to secure the enactment of the bill ,
and Mr , Spaulding , of the Cleveland
district , was prompted by Mr ,
Jonckos to "siUdown 011 him.1' But
Gfliii Garfield wan not to bo silenced
easily , and quite a scone- ensued , The
next day Gon. Garfield two to a per
sonal explanation , and said :
"I made no personal reference
whatever ; I assailed1 no gentleman ; 1
called no man's honor in question ,
My eolleapuc from the Cleveland dis
trict ( Mr. Spaulding rose and asked
if I had road the bill. I answered
him , I believe , in courteous language
and manner , that I had road it ; and
immediately on my statement to that
ctl'cct ho said in his place in the
house , and it has gone on the record ,
that ho did not believe 1 had road it ;
in other words , that he believed that
I had lied , in the presence ot my
peers in this houso. I felt , under
such circumstances , that it would not
bo 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 I said so ,
"It pains mo very much that a gen
tleman of venerable ago , who was in
full maturity of life when I was a
child , should have taken occasion here
in his place to use language so un
called for , so ungonoious , so unjust to
me , and disgraceful to himself , I
have borne with the ill-nature and bad
b'lood of that gentleman , as many
others in this house have , out of re-
ipcct to his years ; but no immunity
of ago shall shield him or any man
from my denunciation who is lacking
in the proprieties of this place as to bo
guilty of such parliamentary and per
sonal indecency as the house has wit
nessed on his part. I had hoped that
before this time ho would have
ackmwldged to mo the impropriety
and unjustifmblcness of his conduct
and apologi/.cd for the insult. But he
has not seen tit to take that course.
I leave him to his own reflections , and
his conduct to the judgment of the
house. "
This little episode convinced the
house that Gon. Garfield was not to
bo 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
< "ayo" or "no ! " Ho could not com
pare with some of his colleagues in
oratory or the graces of the forum ,
but ho was. never weakened , as some
of them were , with vanity and lack of
sincerity. There wore more astute
lawyers , keener satirists , more subtle
politicians , and abler rhetoricians in
the house than James A. Garfield , but
no representative carried more convic
tion in his words , than ho did.
Gon. 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 moro endurinir impress
upon the character and history of our
institutions than the brilliant men.
Hamilton , ho said , wa < master of a
brilliant style , clear and bold in con
ception and decisive in execution ;
Jefferson was profoundly imbued with
a philosophic 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. Ho
used to express his regret that there
were no especial training-schools for
statesmanship , as for the other pro
fessions , and cite John Quincy Adams
as the only American youth over
trained with special reference 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 ho
succeeded
