Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRiCK, Editor - and - Proprietor. 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.

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. . Nv lite to Taxpayer.
