A Wealth Producing Industry

In 1895 had the pleasure of visiting
that little country, Holland. 1t is said
to be the wealthlest country, according
to population, of any country in the
world. Now how have they made their
money! How have they been able to
produce the marvellous wealth which
has accrued to that very small coun-
try? They have made 1t out OF agri-
culture, and the particular branch Of
agriculture which they have given spe-
cial attention to is that of keeping
cows and the production Of dairy
goods. H. II. Dean.

The Standard Oil and Independents.

Inc StanQafo O1l ana independents.
To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
What the Standard OH Company controls
and what dividends it pays, have nothing
to do with the first statement that Mr. F.
A. Cogswell made; namely, that he was be-
ing robbed, or. in other words, that the
price he was compelled to pay for burning
oils was robbery pure and simple. We tried
to convince him OF his false position, and
he gets back at us by calling US an indie
pendent retailer" and accusing us of try
ing to defend the Standard Oh COMPANY.
Again he displays his utter ignorance re-
garding the true conditions Of the oil bust
ness of this city. Every well-informed man
knows that during the past two years, ow-
Ing to the keen competition of the indie
pendent Oil Company, the merchants Of
this city have been enjoying the lowest
prices for burning oils and gasoline that
have prevailed for a period OF five years
and We are the ones who are RESPONSIBLE
for these prices. They were made by our
competitor. not for the benefit Of the pub
lie. but solely to discourage our efforts to
secure some of the trade. The wholesale
price Of refined oil to the merchants Of this
city was cents on the day our first wag-
ons appeared on the streets, and a few
weeks after 1t was reduced to cents a gal
lon, or drop OF cents gallon, which de-
cline was simply local, and ever since that
day we have been selling Oil at cost and
many times below our actual cost, and the
users Of oil in this city, Of whom Mr. Cogs-
well is one. have derived substantial benefit
from our competition. This knowledge, in
my opinion, ought to convince our worthy
but misguided friend that we do not lose
any sleep through defending the actions of
the Standard OIL Company, or worrying
over the amount Of the trade 1t controls, or
the amount Of its dividends: and under some
conditions even "it' has to tolerate"
some things and that 1.-The tail in this case

The Supreme Court Building.
the Editor Of The Evening Star:

observe by statement in the press that
we will be expected to provide a place for
the meeting Of the Venezuelan commission
soon to meet here, but that as we have no
suitable place accommodations will prob
ably be procured at one of the hotels This
Is disgrace to the nation, and especially
to Congress-. who alone has the power to
provide suitable room for this and the
other numerous International conventions
held here at the capital. In his speech ad-
vooating the passage OF the bill for a Su-
preme Court site and building, December
3D. 1898. Senator Morrill, said:
"A fine hall should also find a place in
this building for the use Of international
commissions. for which we have much and
frequent USE"
AS he said. the bill had passed the Senate
unanimously twtce-on June 8, 1883. and
again April %, fSe0-but nss the House.
nothing has been done. This session a hiii
for the puspcse has been unanimously re-
ported from the House committee on public
Dnhdinss, and only awaits the permission
OF the committee on rules to be brought be-
fore the House for vote. The folly OF de-
lay tn this matter was well illustrated by a
similar delay on the part OF Congress in re-
gard to taking the ground for enlar1ing the
Capitol Park. In 1881 the owners OF ths
property In the two squares offered to sell
1t to the government for SOS COO; but the
war prevented action then. and in 1877
only eleven years later. 1t paid for the same
two squares 1881 S18 65-consideraJlv more
than twice as much!
Then the war was, Of course, excuse for
non-action, and the condition of the finances
for some years after the close Of the war
was further excuse; but no such excuse
exists now. The country Is at peace and
more prosperous than ever before, with q
large surplus in the treasury. Why. then.
not do 1t now? Why delay 1t, and nav
more In the end. besides keeping the an,
preme Court In its present cramped quar-
tiers. Its library In a still more unfit place.
