TO sum the situation, our country Is
wonderfully we'll prepared to with
stand the effects Of great European
war. To an extent which is, true of
no other country on earth we are sui.
ficient unto ourselves. If We had fol.
lowed the free trade scheme Of buying
in the cheapest and selling in the dear
est market we should not now have a
manufacturing capacity, answering all
possible requirements, Of more than
$22 200. 100000 year. We should be
looking to Europe for the great bulk of
that enormous total, and Europe, being
tied up and paralyzed with war, could
not supply our needs. 1t is better as
it is, far better. Europe needs what
we have to sell, if she can only get
it, while we need little or nothing that
Europe has to sell.
Industrial independence was the aim

THE OIL INDUSTRY,

Fifty-five years ago Friday the first
driven oil we'll in the United States
began to give up it's precious fluid.
The event marked an epoch in the illu.
mination of the world and the begin
ming of many huge fortunes. The
chief illuminants of that day were
sperm, or whale oil, retailing at $2.25
a gallon; "comphene," derivative of
turpentine and very liable to explo-
sion; coal OIL" obtained from coal
and Scotch bog head, selling at about
l$2 gallon. How to light the home
and workshop cheaply was a serious
economic problem. 1t was that argu-
ment that Influenced two Connecticut
financiers to advance $1,000 to Col"
Edwin L. Drake, who proposed to drill
an oil we'll near Pithole. Pa, where for
generations the local residents had
been gathering oil as it floated on the
surfaces of breeks and pools. Drake
began work in 1857. His early at
tempts resulted in failure: his fin
anciers refused more money, and his
workmen deserted. His scheme be-
came the joke of the countryside. He
might as well drill for whisky" re-
marked one rural spectator When on
the verge of starvation, Drake finally
secured financial aid from Pennsyl-
vanians and resumed his operations.
Months passed. Several drilling meth
DDS proved fruitless, until he sank a
six-inch iron pipe. At depth of
seventy-one feet the pioneer finally
found traces of oil, and the next
morning the liquid was found flowing
literally upon the ground. 1t was the
beginning Of one of the greatest OF
modern industries.
Today the oil wells of the United
States are annually producing nearly
two-thirds of the crude petroleum con-
sumed throughout the world. The
yield reaches the enormous total of
about 1O,O00.oOO,OO0 gallons a year
with a Wholesale value estimated at
$500 100000. They have created the
greatest single fortune in the world,
Rockefeller's. Scores of other multi
millionaires owe their present wealth
to the sticky fluid. Oil has called into
existence huge webs of pipe lines, ag-
gregating more than $4,000 miles in
length, which convey the crude pro-
duct of the oil wells to the refneries
where it is transformed into it's many
forms of commerce gasoline, naptha,
therapeutic ointments and jellies, illu-
minating oils, greases and poisonous
dyes. 1t has created great fleets of
specially designed oil-carrying vessels
that sail the seven seas distributing
the product of American oil wells to
all parts of the earth. In the guise Of
gasoline it is driving the millions Of
automobiles through the world. 1t
supplies the power for vessels and
railroad engines. 1t has driven wax
and tallow candles from the market by
substituting one of Its by-products,
paraf1ln, which is made up annually
into 3O0,0OO,00O candles of more than
700 different varieties.

that Iowa is all right. OF course this
declaration is made on the assumption
that this years fair will be up to the
standard of other recent years.
Clinton Herald: The United States
lost its beet sugar industry through
free trade. Now Europe is losing hers,
through the trampling of cavalry and
infantry over the beet sugar fields OF
Belgium, and the absence Of men to
care for the crop in Germany. Ameri-
cas- way is preferable. But what a
piece of foolishness it is to lose the
industry by any means, pacific OF war
like.
Des Moines Capital The Ameri
can public will not feel kindly toward
Japan on account of her present con-
duct. There would seem to be no de-
mand for her getting into the war
except that she wants to get into good
society and thinks she sees chance
for advertising. She doubtless knows
also that wars make complications and
out of such complications she hopes
to gain something. We do not want
a war with Japan. But we do not want
to be continuously apologizing to her
for things that never have happened.
Since her war with Russia the conduct
Of Japan has been anything but COM
mendable.

United States. Ours is the only coun
try in the world thatis industriaily IN
dependent. That We are IN that 1or
tunate position is something to DC
thankful for; something to thank pro
lection for.
How came we to be industrially inde
pendent? The answer is, through
long continued adherence to the policy
of protection to American labor ano
industry. If we had not elected to en-
courage and support industrial enter
prises we should now be so dependent
upon Europe for the supply of our
needs that we should be dragged into
this big war in spite of ourselves. But
for the protective tariff that for the
past so years we have maintained, eX'
cept during the short period OF 1894
81 and the present free trade PERIOD
we should now be dependent upon the
manufacturers in Europe for our wool
ems, our cottons, our silks, our hosiery
our pottery, our basic steel and the I'm
ished products Of steel, and for many
other articles Of use.
But in a state Of general war the
manufacturers of Europe could NOT
supply us. They cannot even supply
their own markets. More than u
OOo, 900 men are withdrawn from the
producing industries of Europe. Even
though they could manufacture tne
goods we needed, they could not SEND
them to us. Every marine nation IN
Europe Is involved in war that ex-
noses it's ocean commerce to seizure
and destruction. While this war lasts
Europe can neither buy from US nor
sell to us in anything like normal
proportions.
Excepting possibly a few chemicals
needed in our agricultural and manu-.
featuring industries, there Is notnins
that we have bought from Europe thal
we cannot get along without. we can
supply all our needs from our own re-
sources and facilities. We can make

en-, hostility means annexation. The
annexation of Belgium means posses
sion of Antwerp. Possession Of Ant
werp means German domination of the
sea and the destruction of the British
empire. Napoleon called Antwerp "a
loaded pistol, at the heart Of England"
Great Britain knows this to be true,
and is prepared to 60 the limit in its
efforts to keep Germanys hand from
the pistol.
