Rates Ranged in Fifteen Years From
6I-4 to :t3 Per Cent


A statement by S. c. T. Dodd solicitor
of he Standard Oil Company. concerning
dividends of that company from ISL TO tho
present year, has been made public by the
industrial commission. 1t shows that the
company's dividends have varied from SO
per cent per annum in 1852 TO 80 per cent
in 1897.
Mr.. Dodd says the quarterly dividends OF
the company aggregated 5l4 per cent in
1882; 6 per cent in 1883 and 1884, 1ola Per
cent in 1886. 10 per cent in 1856 and 1851.
liz per cent in 1883, Il per cent in 1889.
1890 and 1891, 1921 per cent in 1892, 10
per cent in 1893 and 1894, IL per cent in
1895, 81 per cent in 1896, 80 per cent in
1897. and 80 per cent in 1885, and that q
stock dividend of 20 per cent was made IN
May, 1857.
Speaking of the methods that have made
the Standard Oil Company success Mr..
Dodd says:
They have obtained and utilized the best
scientific skill in investigating and expert.
menting upon the obtaining of new and
useful products from petroleum, and have
cheapened Illuminating oil and otherwise
benefited mankind by the utilization Of
these bi-oroducts.
They have used their united capital in
opening up the markets of the world for
American petroleum, and have held those
markets against the fercest foreign compe-
tition. This was rendered possible only by
the employment of millions of capital in
the cheapening of transportation at home.
across the ocean and in foreign lands. and
by the best and cheapest methods of manu-
facture.
THE proofs of these propositions will be
found in the statistics of petroleum shows
ing its production, prices of crude and re-
fined, consumption at home and amount ex.
ported to foreign markets. =
While the Standard does not produce, re.
fine and market all the oil, 1t has been the
leader in the business. and competitors
have succeeded by uniting their capital,

week-the /, 9, and 3 of May.
A small number Of our people
have signified their intention Of
helping in entertaining them, and
only about twenty-five of them
have been placed in private fami.
lies. We had hoped the entire
number would have been so enter.
tanned.
The first day will be spent in
organizing and routine work; the
first evening in speeches and
music at the Opera House. The
second day an excursion for The
Press Members only, has been
planned to Avery's Island. AS
tho management of the mine can
not accommodate a general excur-
sion, tickets have been withdrawn
from sale and the Press Associa-
ton only will be expected.
On the 3rd an excursion will be
made on the steamer "Saccharine''
down the Bayou, leaving about 5
a. M. and returning about 8 or A
p. M, which all who contribute to
the entertainment Of the Editors
will be invited to enjoy.
The public generally is invited
to be present, free Of charge, at
any and all sessions of the Asso-
citation at the Opera House, during

Consul General GOOdnOw, in ;
report to the Department of State
from Shanghai, knocks the bottom
ont of the newspaper stories alleg
ing that the establishment OF
Chinese cotton manufacturing
plants were endangering American
trade i'm the Orient. He points
ont the fact that American Labor
is about four times as effective al
that of Chinese; also that the cot
ton mills at Shanghai only spin
coar Sc yarn, which is furnished to
the consumers in the interior, who
weave it on hand looms, and have
been running up to the present
time at loss. The report con
cludes as follows: "The cotton
cloths dominating the market In
northern China, and now challeng-
ing the trade in central China are
from America. We can control
this market so long as we have an
equal entrance into all China, es-
pecially as freight lines from our
country are multiplied; and when
the Nicaragua Canal is built, no
other than American goods need
apply in China"
The action of the War Depart
ment in ordering canned roast beef
sent to the Philippines for soldiers
in the interior who cannot be sup
piled with refrigerated fresh beef,
although issued on the recOmmen-
dation of officers over there, in
Gen. Otis, has caused
much gossip in Washington. The
order was issued without consult
ing Gen. Miles, whose opposition
to canned corn beef as an army
ration was made plain during the
of Gen. Eagan.
When Gen. Miles was asked what
he thought of the order, he re-
plied:.Ht has been demonstrated
that the best meat supplied to an
army is beef on the hoof. That is
all | care to say"

Frick, the man who was the
cause of the terrible Homestead
strike has fallen out with his
boss, Carnegie, and is giving
"shop" secrets away. He wants
six million dollars for his inter
ests and the boss wants to pay
him only one million. Last
year the concern cleared twenty
one million and you can safely
attribute eight million to pro-
hibitive tariff, eight million to
trust methods and that will
leave five million for legitimate
commercial dividends. The Re-
publican tariff is the father of
the trusts and the two combiu-
ed in that single business
"bilked" the people out of $751;
