Three big blast furnaces, just started up after a

the support of almost fifty thousand men, women

upon the prosperity of those furnaces. OF course
this means that the blast furnaces are the prime

Something more than one-half of the business OF
the nation is concerned with the production, trans

The most important single interest of our country
is agriculture. Secretary Wilson of the Depart

is the prosperity of our farmers that each sunset
sees them richer by almost six million dollars
LAS our nations business is firmly founded upon
the bedrock basis of agriculture, served by the
very best systems of water and land transportation

STANDARD OIL ESCAPES
YEARS PROFIT, $4,000, 900.
No Men Laid off During Depres-
sion-Reasons for Prosperity.

Practically alone among the great corpora
lions of the country, the Standard Oil Company
has suffered no loss during the severe business
depression Of the last year, 1T was said yester-
aav hv a man closely connected with the COM
uanv. Its total profits last year were about
$50 100000 about one-half of which sum, repre-
senting 40 per cent on the S1oo.ooo,oo0 capital
tzation. was disbursed in dividends There has
seen no cutting of the quarterly dividends thus
far in the current year and II was learned on
authority yesterday that the dividends yet to
co,,,a D-ould be at the same rate as last year,
which means that the Standard will pay 40 per
cent in 1908.
Discussing the reasons for the company's pros
eritv one of its officials said that the most i'm
portant was probably the fact that in so-cailed
.l,ard times there was always an enlarged use
of kerosene oil as a illuminant, from motives
of economy. Then, too. a growing source OF
proft was the demand for the company's by
I,ro6rcts as the output and use of automobiles
and naphtha launches became more general ana
the demand for oil for use in sprinkling roads
also becoming large enough 10 represent OH
important new profit.
Although in consequence Of the falling off OF
railroad traffic less lubricating OIL was being
purchased by the railroads, the loss in this dlrec
tion had been more than made up through the
increased sales of oil for illuminating purposes
The company's export business also has oeeh
steadily growing and has suffered no check
since the business depression set in.
II was said yesterday by a man familiar with
the affairs of the Standard Oil Company that
not a single workman has been laid on since the
present business dulness began Soon AFTER the
manic the company took fifteen hundred ad-
ditional men. who were put at work at the new
,,lan+ near Elizabeth, n. ]. Although admitting
-ba+ their cornpany is highly prosperous, owing
10 the development of the sources of demand al
ready noted and TO the efficiency of the COM
anys plants and the excellence OF Its orSafllza-'
tion. officials Of the Standard say that the OH
industry is as a whole in q very prosperous con-
5i.ior. Their rivals also making money IL
was said. particularly in Texas and California
and in proof of the assertion they point 10 the
fact that several of the Independent companies
