4 Running River of Oil.

The stream o. crude petroleum start
cd lhrep weeks ago from Lima, Ohio TO
fill tic two great tanks at South Chiua-
go began pouring mo their reservoirs
q day d two ago The oil is now flow
ing at the rate of 5000 barrels, or 326,
900 gallons day. Each tank has q
capacity Of $4,000 barrels. The dis
distance from Lima to South Chicago
is 2O6 milcs. Lima is 800 feet higher
South Chicago, and were it not for an
elevation 10 feet higher than Lima in
the vicinity of Lakoton, Ind, gravlla-
ton might furnish the motor power
On the siphon principle it might be
lifted over this elevation, but the veloc-
ity would be so greatly retarded that
commercial value of the line would be
destroyed. Therefore the flow must
be "accelerated," and for that purpose
great pumping works have been erect
ed at Lima which will force the product
thence to South Chicago IN from eight
to nine days. Under this impetus 3,
900 barrels can BE delivered daily
With pumping works at all lntermedl'
ate point this delivery can be more than
doubled. In contemplation Of eyrntu
ally putting IN four pumping stations
as have been put N every fifty miles.
The pipe is s inches in diameter, and
will hold IS 900 barrels. 1t runs from
Lima along the right Of way Of the G.
and A. Railway Company to a point
near tho foot of Lake Michigan, and
thence along the shore to South Chlca-
go. A traction engine first laid 1t along
the surface Of the ground and screwed
the sections together. Then ditchIn5
machine came along and dug a ditch j
feet deep and | foot wide. OF course,
whore there were natural distractions,
such as rock or stamps, the work Was
done by hand. Into this trench the
connected pipe sections We're rolled and
then covered up so rs to be protected
from injury. Up hill and down dale
the line progressed, curved sections
being used when required.

FREE TRADE IN COLLEGES.

1t is the boast of free,traders
that nearly all colleges teach ire,
trade. implying that since the ina
iority of colleges teach it, it mus
be the true doctrine.
Let us see. When Harvard col
lege was founded it was necessary
for it to be supplied with protes
sors who were educated in England
or who had been taught by teach
ers of English doctrineA. Text
books with ideas tavoring the En-
glsh policy were used in all the
early colleges because American
authors were then scarce, and
when American authors did write
they received their ideas from text
books promulgating theories favor
able to Great Britain. Thus, our
colleges became fountains OF pollt-
ical theories that applied, not to
our country, but to our country's
enemy, Men educated in these
colleges have become authors upon
political economy, and since they
TED only upon the theories, obtained
in college, and did not come in
competition with the Drawn and
muscle Of our enemies, or encoun-
ter the practical workings OF the
system, they have still held to the
theory obtained from English text
books, and hence the preponder-
ance Of free trade text books. Sci
dom have men, after going out in
to actual business, stopped to write
textbooks, but an innumerable host
of young men, who came out of
college free traders. soon became
protectionists by observing that
what contributed to England's sue
cess was against our prosperity 1t
is claimed that professors who
teach free trade allow free dis
cussion Of the subject in their class
es, that is, young men Of Is tc %
years OF age, with several hours in
which to prepare lessons, are sup
posed 10 combat successfully in OPP
position to a professor who has the
textbook on his side, and has been
trained from youth mp, and whose
wits have been sharpened by a con
tinuous discussion of years in his
teaching. And who that has en-
counteerd the holder of a pet theo-
ry know full well that whether by
argument, assertion or ridicule, he
will try to silence any opponent at
one fell swoop. We read Of grad
uate recently remarking that this
tree discussion of the tariff ques-
ton was all on one side, and the
teacher had that side, and when
protective arguments were advanc-
ed the irritability OF the old pro
lessor knew no bounds.
This free discussion" is a de.
lusion. 1t would be infinitely bet
ter TO dispense with the whole sub
iert of political economy than thus
to sow seeds of disloyalty toward
our country's commerce and her
prosperity,

! our mining properties are of sut-

OF mining ventures in that section
is SO mixed up with tricks that are

have come to the conclusion that
any investment they make will
have to be supplemented with

through your courts. Until titles
