FOREIGN WHEAT COMPETITION.

On account of the heavy and unusual
wheat export Of India in two successive
years, there was reasonable fear aroused
that that country would prove formid-
able competitor to California in wheat ex-
portation, despite the fact that California
wheat is very considerably better article.
But even if India Is not to be feared, there
should be no cessation Of the demand for
diversity OF production. 1t IS under any
circumstances the wise course The Gov
eminent of India has officially reported to
the Home Government on the capacity Of
India From this report it is learned that
the area under wheat cultivation in Brit
ish India is about 20000,O00 acres The
yield Of this acreage is nearly 100000, 900
bushels In the native provinces 5000 900
acres are sown annually to wheat, and pro-
duce about 6S000,000 bushels. The aver
age Weld Of ten bushels does not of course
equal ours, but then the wheat-growing art
has to make progress in India. The report
shows that the export surplus Is about one
fourth of the product But India will not
export unless she gets a good price name
ly, 43 shillings per quarter. At the cur
rent price of to-day she will not export,
but consume her product, for when she ex-
ports her people subsist on miIlet and
cheaper food than wheat. The statisticians
have not been able to arrive at a very
satisfactory conclusion about the cost of
growing wheat in India, because it is
very difficult to ascertain the cost OF
living among the agriculturiSts of that
country An approximate calculation
places it at Is Sd per bushel in the north,
including rent of land, OF l2s per quarter,
or thirty-seven cents per buShel. But this
does not include cost of transportation. At
the time of making the report it was found
that wheat at the nearest interior market
would sell for is. cd per quarter, or fifty
six cents per bushel. This gives profit
to the producer of from one to two and a
half dollars per acre. The officials, there
fore, reach the conclusion, that at present
prices wheat-growing in India is not en-
couraged. Added to this Is the very rapid
increase of population in India and the
widening of home consumption, 50 that in
few years they may consume the entire
product. Sir Jamer Card, than whom
there is no better authority, testifies that
wheat acreage extension in India depends
upon the price of the article in England
the 2OO,OOo000 of people in India are in
creasing their numbers with phenomenal
rapidity; that the surplus product for sew
eral years will be small and that it will be

THROTTLING PEOPLE.

The rebuke of the Harrison crowd of
demagogues by Senator Kellogg was de
served and timely There has been a vast
deal of twaddle INDUCED in about the mer-
chants of San Francisco being throttled
by the railroad corporations. Nothing
can be more absurd, nothing could have
less foundation of fact. Sensible business
men laugh at the idea. Senator Kellogg con-
Guided that the Islander had been long enough
iterated, and he entered an indignant de-
NAL in behalf of the mercantile class. He
could not" he said, "allow such a SLAM
der to go undenied and unrebuked on the
floor of the Senate. The record of the
merchants of San Francisco was alone a
sufficient rcfutatiou of the SANDER; they
had built in thirty years a cosmopolitan
and metropolitan city unequaled with its
age, considered by any in the civilized
world; for energy, enterprise, liberality
and American go-aheaditiveness their
record could not be excelled. He did not
believe that any corporation could throttle,
subdue or even intimidate the merchants
of San Francisco. They were as brave
and independent as any class of people in
California, and this SANDER, coming from
a Senator from that city, should be re-
futed.'
In the first place, the merchants are not
of the class to be intimidated; in the next
place, the most foolish thing conceivable
on the part of the carriers would be to at
temp, any such thing with merchants
with whom their interests are common ;
and, lastly, the railroad people are by no
means fools. All this chatter about the
merchants Of California cities being under
bondage to the railroads is the veriest
CANNON, and there is not a scintilla of
evidence to sustain it, to say nothing of the
unreasonableness of the silly charge.

more likely to diminish than increase. But
he believes that South Australia will be
great wheat producer, and a reliably regu
lar one. Russia is rapidly increasing
her product, as is also the Argen-
tine Republic. If then the fear
of India as wheat competitor is
not alarming, it remains that there are
other competitors whom We cannot afford
to ignore. We must also look TO the pos
sibiIity of the conditions in India being
changed the production of wheat accom-
plished at lower cost, so that she may
still contribute to the aggregate COMPETE
ton with which We must contend.
