MORE FACTS ABOUT WHEAT

Inc Boston Herald gives further
Information about the competition of
the Argentine Republic with us in
wheat raising. which has become II
serious matter. In February our
wheat exports were Il little over 4,
600, 600 bushels and those of the Ar
gentinc were 32O,OOO bushels more
than ours. In March VIC exported
6.53',sls bushels, aud the Argentine
Z, 392, 600 BUSHES. This isl heavy
falling of for us, as compared with
the same months in 1893, while for
the Argentine it is an increase If lG
per cent in February, over 100 per
cent in March, and So per cent in May.
1t Is evident That NC have to deal
here not with some tincspun theory
Of Indian competition, and silver prize
es, and the rate of India council
bills, but with Il competitor who has
been saying nothing, but is raising
the stuff and forcing us out of the
market. Ii this rate of increase con-
tinucs, VIC shall not be able, prcsen.
tly, to sell any of our wheat crop alb
road at all, except such grades as
cannot he produced elsewhere. 1t is
time to drop the nonsense that polill-
clans have been talking about Indian
wheat, and face the real situations:
which bids us prepare for the time
when We must look to the home mar
ket for the consumption of practically
our entire wheat supply.
The Herald clucidatcs further the
point referred to in these columns some
time ago, that the course of spccula-
tion is such as to put the United State
at a serious disadvantage in the race.
1t gives the difference between June
and December wheat, in the New
York market, on Il day selected for
the comparison, as g 1-S cents per BUSH
ell, while in London it was but 2 SO
gffssaiter Cost 81 carTying wheat here.
Consequently the foreign dealer sells
In this market, at our high prevailing
rates, against future delivery. and
buys anywhere else. The difference
is his profit. There have been several
circumstances of late indicating the
disadvantage Of our markets. 1t was
stated, Il short time ago, that an east
bound vessel offered to carry wheat
to England, free of charge, as ballast.
and the shippers could not accept be-
cause, at prevailing rates, there
would be no profit in the transaction
We have become SO accustomed to
the idea that Europe must have our
wheat, no matter what it costs, so
sure of our grip upon the market, so
confident that, IL VIC only hold off
long enough, all our surplus will be
taken ut high prices, that We have
let some of the plainest facts slip by
us unnoticed. And the specula tor
has helped us to this blind security.
1t is high time that we learned, when
we are undcrsold in the market by a
country which is taking the market
away from US, that we must recover
our place or abandon decomposition.
And it is high time for the farmer to
learn that the sooner he gets OUT Of
wheat farming and into something
else, the better IL will be for him aud
and for the country. No possibility
of legislation can raise the price OF
wheat in the face of the facts as to
supply that we have statcd.-Pioncer

In nine cases out or ten tnvcStiga-
lions instituted by congress as to the
CONDUCT of its own members arc cx-
pensivc, proHtless and farcical, and
are undertaken aud pursued with no
other purpose in view than to obscure
rather than reveal the truth. 1t Is
seldom that good comes of them, and
there is but one instance on record in
which members of that body, guilty
of corrupt and dishonest practices,
have bccn brought for Judgment bc.
fore the bar of public opinion. The
dishonesty developed during the Cred
it MobilIcr Investigation was SO flag
rant, and the demand for the punish.
ment of the criminals was so imper.
ativc, that the members were COM
PEELED to make thorough inquiry as
to the facts, and having asccrtained
them were forced to condemn the
guilty parties.
One of the chief reasons why such
investigations result in so little good
is the latitude which is allowed to
witnesses OF tcstlfying or refusing
to testify as they may deem fit.
Either house of congress has the right
to punish Il witness for contempt of
Its authority. The notoriety which
such punishment gives is courted by
Il majority Of men. And ADDED to
this is generally another inducements;
The persons who may bc under fire
are usually willing to pay we'll for the
suppression OF certain facts, and will
reward IL witness libctally for his re-
calcitrancy. The ordinary man about
the Hobbies of congress can afford to
spend few days in Jail if he receives
several thousand dollars for his time.
Ii he chooses to resist Imprisonment,
he can do so successfully, for the right
CT congress to imprison obstinate wit
nesscs vas decided in the negative
years ago, when Ia!lett Kilbourne re.
ccivcd his liberty by means O; !, writ
of habeas corpus.
Bat the greatest drawback which
investigating committees have to
contend with comes froBl the menu
bcrs OF the two houses themselves.
These are privileged to refuse to tes-
tify whenever IN their opinion their
own interests or the interests OF the
public may be jcopardizcd, and they
themselves are left to jndgc as to
what questions they shall or shall not
answer. This gives them Il wide la
