No Peanut Trust.

From the Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph.
Some months ago the startling rumor
that peanuts had been cornered spread
over the country. The rumor was later
backed up by declarations that a peanut
trust made up of Virginia and North
Carolina dealers was controlling the
market and fixing prices just as other
foOdstuff trusts have done and are yet
doing. peanut trust Well, the people
of this great and glorious republic sim
ply won't stand for an outrage like that.
even if they do submit to being robbed
by meat. butter. egg and other trusts.
The people appealed to the Department
of Justice at washington. where Demo-
cratic administration is now doing bust
ness, and Attorney General McReynoIds
Immediately put his sleuths at work. for
il is only necessary to whisper trust"
to throw the whole democratic outfit
into a state of feverish activity, particu-
larly when southern product Is said to
have been cornered And now, after all
the trouble and expense and guessing
and alleging and denying, comes the an
nouncement from the representative of
the Department of Justice that there is
no such thing as peanut trust, and
that there will be no suit against peanut
dealers under the Sherman or any other
law against trusts.

The Currency Measure.

The Senate gave three months TO the
consideration of the currency bill, ana
improved on the Houses work in several
important particulars. What the amend
ed measure will show as the result oil
the conference between the two houses
we should know very soon-within forty
eight hours. it is predicted.
Six republicans voted for the measure
on the final roll call, not as an expression
of full approval. but because they con-
coded that reform legislation was neces-
sary and realized that this was the best
obtainable in the circumstances. Mr.
Weeks of Massachusetts. who was among
those taking this position. reckons the
amended bill as seventy-ave per cent
good and twenty-five per cent bad
All the democrats, including Mr.. Hitch
cock. voted in the affirmative. 1t is
charged. however. that not all OF them
were pleased with the outcome; that 9TH
ers besides Mr.. Hitchcock objected to
number of features in the bin. but, I'M
like him. yielded their Judgment to the
party caucus. and resisted all efforts 10
amend the measure except in conformity
with the caucus decree.
But the meat of the whole matter IS
democratic Interpretation OF the party $
duty, is now ON the eve of going into
operation and the country, without re-
gard to party, is much concerned about
what the harvest will be- The machinery
provided for is delicate. and Will require
skill i'm its adjustment and manipulation.
This legislation was asked for ana Is
intended, to brace the tariff legislation.
Business was halted by the agitation over
the Underwood BILL and the suggestion
followed that currency reform, If pro-
vided at once, would set everything in
motion again. We shall now see the
value of that appraisement of the situa-
ton. The tariff law is in action, and the
new currency law will join it.
Anxiety, however, even assuming trat
these two revisions work well together III
harness. will not be entirely relieved I'M
til the administration trust program Is
announced. and Congress has dealt with
il. The business world is greatly inter
ested i'm that, and has been much per-
turbed by some of the gossip current on
the subject.
But the time for gossip Is nearly over.
Upon the reassembling Of Congress after
the holidays, the President will communi-
cate with Congress by message. and
state his views and wishes. Then bust
ness will have something definite to guide
by, although the action of Congress may
not follow for a little time. The Senate
held the tariff bill five months, and the
currency bill three, and made changes In
the Houses work on both. How long il
will hold the trust bill-which presumably
will b., a bill the House has sent over
must depend on the character of the
Houses labors.
