lUNKItUl'T- COMPETITION.
It is a familiar principle of rail
road management that the deadli
est competition is that of a bant
rupt road which has no interest to
pay and may take business for
what it can get. It is a familair
fact in trade that the most fatal
competition is that of bankrupts
whose goods are sold under the
hammer or by peremptory action
of a receiver. 'Wheat growers of
the United States have been sub
jected to just this kind of compe
tition for the last year or so in the
markets of the world. The great
wheat growing countries of Russia,
Egypt, India, Australia and Argen
tine have been practically bank
rupt through famine, mismanage
ment of finances or speculation;
and have been obliged to throw
vast quantities of whest upon the
market for whatever it would
bring. This, more than any other
cause, has reduced the price and
shut the United States, which can
afford to hold part of its wheat for
better prices, out of the London
market.
Some interesting facts bearing
upon this conclusion are brought
out by the New York Post. Dur
ing the month of May Great
Britain's total imports were larger
by nearly 2,000,000 bushels than
in May 1893. Yet its imports
from this country decreased 1,260,
000 bushels. This difference was
made up, as it was in the preceed
ing months, by a heavy increase
over last year in the shipments
from Russia, Australia and the
Argentine republic. From the
Argentine republic England re
ceived in May 900,000 bushels
more than last year, a gain of 42
per cent from Russia, 1,680,000
more, an increase of 200 per cent;
from Australia, 203",000 more, an
increase of 40 per cent. Ifl most
respects, the record of May was
similar to that of the four months
proceeding. The principal change
in 7 the situation was the
larger increase in Russia's wheat
exports during May, and the much
smaller increase in the South
American movement. For the
five completed months, England's
receipts of wheat from Russia were
only double last year's record; in
May three times as much was
taken as in 1893. Nearly twice as
much wheat came in the first five
months from Argentine republic as
came a year, ago; in May the in
crease over 1893 was less-than one-
half. But the decrease in last
month's shipments from this coun
try fell not far below the season's
average.
Bankrupt competitors, countries
which muBt sell wheat they have
been storing for higher prices til'
the consequence of famine, as in
Russia, of national bankruptcy, as
in Argentine, or bank collapse, as
in Australia, or of official misman
agement, as in India, forced them
to throw it upon the market at
whatever sacrifice, have driven
down the. price at which American
wheat can be sold in London. At
the year's lowest recorded price, a
few weeks since, wheat sold nearly
ten cents a bushel below the open
ing price of January and sixteen
cents under the price of a year ago.
In April the price struggled up to
January's level but broke again
heavily and continuously under
the Russian and Argentine liqui
dation. .''
No other farm product of this
country has suffered such decline
in price because price of no other
depends so much upon conditions
of foreign competition. Indeed
the Fust says, "both corn and oats are
selling today above tbelr price of
fifteen yearn ago, though wbeat Is
fifty cents a bushel lower." This
would not be the ease If the low price
of wheat were due to domestic condi
tions, either Industrial, commercial or
financial, to the business depression,
lack of money per capita or decline in
price of silver. .When this forced sale
is done, or the surplus of these coun
tries exbau8ted,.price of wheat may be
expected to rise. Oregonlan.
4th of July!
Grand Celebration at Lebanon!
The various committees appointed
by the people of Lebanon to make the
celebration of the nation's natal day an
assured success are looking like beav
ers and everything tending to the
comfort and convenience of the thou
sands upon thousands who will join
with us on that glorioUB anniversary,
is already in a forward state of pre pa-,
ration-
The squadron of female cavalry are
in thorough training, their evolutions
ou horseback executed with military
precision aud promptness, will aston
ish and delight the multitude. The
liberty ear is a marvel ef beauty and
when filled with the lovely little girls
In gala attire, will remain in tue mem
ory of our visitors as a joy forever.
The fire laddies know well how to en
tertain their brethren and are fully
resolved that none shall leave Lebanon
dissatisfied' The ladies are all doing
their very utmost In the way of deco
rating. The fat men, the lean men,
the old ladies and the young ladies
are vieing with each other and with
the young men to make our city a
scene of enchantment and tlie-ttb day
of July, 1894, an anniversary to be
forever remembered.
Hon. G. M. Westfall attired as a
modern dryad Will preside over a
chariot gorgeously decorated contain
ing twelve of our best, singers who will
give us charming and pathetic melo
dies In honor of the august occasion.
The procession will be formed by
the Oraud Marshal at 9 o'clock A. .,
immediately on the arrival of the
train, o the public square. The fol
lowing general line of march will be
observed: From the public square on
Oak to Second street, along Second to
Vine street, down V'ine to Main street,
uiong Main street to Bridge Ave., and
down Bridge avenue to the grand
stands. The program for the after
noon will be as follows as nearly as we
can state at this time, as the official
program is in course of preparation as
we go to press:
1. Music by the Baud.
2. Prayer by Kev. J. H. Beatty.
8. Bong by the Choir.
4. Beading Declaration of Inde
pendence by Hon. D. P. Mason.
6. Music by the Band.
6. Oration by Hon. Root. I. Piatt.
7. 8nng by the Choir.
8. Dinner Grand Barbecue.
9. Music by the Band.
10. Short speeches by Rev; D. T.

13. Plug TJglles, commanded by Jim
Flaherty.
The whole program will be in print
for general circulation by Tuesday
morning. Great care will be taken to
give all visiting socities and organized
bodies of whatever character their
proper stations In the grand parade
and march. . Citizens living along the
line of march are cordially requested
to decorate their premises on this
most memorable occasion. It is fully
expected that Lebanon will at this
time excel all former celebrations In
the matter of decorations and to this
end all are requested to do their very
best.
The Italian government and
people will need great patience to
endure the causeless rabbling and
rapine of their countrymen in
France without reprisals. Both
races are inflammable, and many
things are likely to happen to pro.
voke and involve the governments
in spite of themselves. France
will need to be as prompt to dis
avow and pay damages for the
riot as was the king of Italy to
condemn the murder.
The railway union has postpon
ed the Pullman boycott, appar
ently distrusting its power to cope
with the 'united railroads of the
country. It is significant also
that preparations were making to
afford ample police protection to
all the railroads using Pullman
cars, indicating that none was dis
posed to surrender without a battle.
Meanwhile it is reported that some
of the Pullman strikers are return
ing to work.

Dior Sirs: About a year ago I urn
laid up with rheumatism, I was in
terrible state. I could not turn nvr in
bed without assistance As there was
no physician in Harney I tried various
liniments, but they all failed. VVhoi;
my condition was very serums, as tlx
pain teemed to be striking near tin
heart, your agent came along and had i.
bottle of Congo Oil. Hearing I wns II'
with rheumatism, he called upon me
and brought a bottle of Congo Oil. lb
commenced rubbing me with It, anil ii
lets than five minutes I was relieved ; ii
hall an hour I was able to swing my i").
out of bed, and one hour I was down
stain. He left the bottle with me and I
applied it several times. From Hint dm
to this I have not been troubled ti ll I
rheumatism. I feel that I owe my In
to the wonderful oil, All this euu b
verified by Fred Haines, of Harney, ill
the landlord ol the hotel and sen hi:
others. I always carry a buttle oi Conge
Oil in my grip now.
Vouts very truly,
