1t will thus be seen that 756 large es-
adjustments in 1880 in which the aggre-
gate capital invested was five times as
great as that in 80l small establishments
III 1880, the capital invested per spindle
was one-third less, the number of spin
dies operated by each laborer nearly
three times as large, the product per
spindle one-fourth greater, the product
per dollar invested twice as large, the
price of cotton cloth nearly so per cent
less, the consumption per capita of the
population over 100 per cent. greater
and wages more than double. What is
true of this industry is true of all indus
trles where concentration of capital has
taken place.
For example, before the organization
of the Standard oil company i'll 1872 oil
had to be transported from the well 10 the
market by railroads IN small quantities
in barrels, tanks, etc. After the organl-
cation of the company, these various
methods were superseded by one general
pipe line, which takes the oil directly
from the well to the market. There are
two such lines reaching New York, with
a capacity for % ,000 barrels per day
There is only one such line to Philadel
phia, one to Baltimore, another to Buff
IalO, announcer TO NI6N6ldllu, dHOJueF 10
Pittsburg, and one is now being laid to
Chicago. This was an undertaking alb
solutely impracticable for any of the
smaller corporations. The result is a
saving of 6G23 per cent on the cost of
transportation alone. In 1872 it cost 81 so
to transport barrel of oil to New York;
to-day it costs only 90 cents.
In 1872 barrels cost 81 So each;
to-day the Standard oil trust manu-
features them for its own use at SIPS
each, reduction of Il per cent, or a
saving Of nearly 81 900 900, a year. In
the cost of the manufacture of tin cans,
a saving of so per cent has been made,
the price having been reduced from 80 TO
Is cents per can since 1874 As this com
panv uses about 80 900 900 tin cans a
year, that makes q saving of 81 500 900
annually The SAME is true of wooden
cases which in 1874 cost 20 cents each
The company now manufactures them
itself at a cost of I3 cents each, being an
annual saving of about 81 $50 900.
Who was benefited by this economy? is
the question that usually arises in this
connection. Did it go into the pockets of
the Standard oil company as profits, or
did it accrue to the community in the re-
duced price of oil? That question can
best be answered by the facts as shown in
the following table;

The Western Union telegraph COM
pany is, perhaps, next to the Standard
oil trust, regarded as the worst monopoly
in the country. 1t is well known that
prior to 1866 our Geographic service was
done through host of small local com
panies To send message across the
country involved its going through the
hands of not less than half q dozen com
panies. IN 1866 these were integrated
into one organization under the name of
the Western Union telegraph company.
Since the concentration of capital IN
Geographic service under this organiza-
ton the rates for messages from New
York to the large centers throughout the
country have been reduced So per cent. ,,

Tt viii be seen from the above that
from 1871. the year before the Standard
oil company was organized, TO 1873, the
year before the pipe line was laid, the
price of refined oil fell 1875 cents per
gallon From the laying of the pipe line
to the organization of the trust in 1881 it
fell , 50 cents per gallon, and from the
organization of the trust to 1887 1t fell
l 80 cents per gallon. Thus, through
the economies introduced into the intro
duction and transportation of petroleum
since 1871, the price of refined oil has
been reduced Il 40 cents per gallon, or
~ per cent, being a saving to the con-
sumers of the 99S 1853, oil gallons of re-
fined oil last year alone of STA, 3l6, ISL.
1t may be said that this great fall in
the price is partly the result OF the fall in
the price OF crude oh. That is true, but
much of this fall is also cue TO the i'm
proved facilities applied at the wells of
this company. But were it true that this
reduction is all attributable to causes over

An Accommodating Boss.

A gang of men were at work on a
city street when a. slight, beardless
youth laid down his pick, and, ap-
preaching the foreman said TO him:
Can 1 take fit, sir?'
"Take what?" asked the foreman
"a fit feel one coming on" re-
piled the young man, without emo
ton.
"Why, certainly" said the foreman.
$50 the young man walked over to
a bit of grass under leafy tree-it
was a new street in the suburbs-and
had fit.
Then he went and washed his face,
came back to his place in the line,
took up his pick aud struck INTO work.
After the days work was over the
young man said to the foreman
You don't mind my having fits?"
"No-I guess not. if you do fair
days work"
"Well, you see, I used to work for
a butcher, an he wouldn't let me
take fts-said it interfered with
business l thought you might
feel the same way about IT,"
And the young man works hard with
pick and shovel and takes ft once
in a while as you or I might take a
drink of fwater.-PittSbtrg Dispatch.
