Washington, Sept. t. Ths pro?
gramme of anti-trust, railroad i.nd
currency legislation Ihet faces con?
grass for I he reaming i- months he*
become fairly well outlined, Preel
dent Wilson and Democratic leaden
apparently have agreed on an aniln
tioiiM plan ol legislative work, which
will bring all of the must important
reformi contemplated by the Wilson
administration within the period that
ensues hetween now and the end of
the next regular session of OOllgresS. j
The tariff hill will be out of the
ftnate and in the hands of a confer- ,
ence committee of the house and sen?
ate before the end of this Week. Cur
i
rency legislation already has forged
to the front and promises to dominate
congressional activity within a few
dayH. The prospects for Immediate
currency legislation in the senate
have not improved the last week, hut
supporters of the administration hill
hold to the hope that by the time the'
measure has passed the house, the
senate committee on banking and cur?
rency will be ready to act.
In the meantime, senate leaders are
announcing that anti-trust legislation
and further important amendment! to
the railroad laws, are to be among the
first and most Important subjects
take^i up at the regular session of con?
gress in December. Twice last week
Senator Simmons, in charge of the'
tariff bill in the senate, heude 1 off
attempts to put trust or rate amend?
ments on the bill, by the announce?
ment that the subjects would re?
ceive prompt and effective considera?
tion when the winter session begins.
President Wilson's idea of mti
trust legislation have been well known
since his effective work in Xew .Ter
?ff during the closing days of his ad?
ministration as governor. Me has a
general outline of what he desires In
the way of trust control legislation
mostly embraced In a series of
seven laws enacted in New Jersey.
This plan undoubtedly will undergo
elaboration in congress; and the in?
fluence of Republican! as well as
Democrats, who have long been ac?
tive in the fltfht for more adequate
regulation of the trusts, will be felt
in the making of these reforms.
s? nator Cummins fatted In his at?
tempt to have the tariff bill changed
so railroads would be forbidden to
give special rates to importers. This
will be pressed at the next session, as
part of a railroad rate law pro.
u' ram me. Senator Simmons announc?
ed yesterday that he believed import
ant changes would be made in rail?
road in ws at the next congreaa
The currency hearing!) begun early
last week before the senate commit?
tee on banking and currency, have de ?
veloped radical expressions of opinion
from many members of the senate
committee. This indicates that long
debates and discussions within the
COmmlttO! Will be necessary before
any agreement tun be reached as to
the merits of the administration bill.
That measure is to come formally be?
fore the house tomorrow; and it is
believed that with the party indorse?
ment behind it. it will pass alin ed
without change.
While little marked antagonism has
de\eloped at the senate hearing*
among Democratic committee! toward
vital features of the administration 1
bill, individual members have shown
a wide variety Of oplnon !fl to the
economic strength of* certain features
of the measure. Senators Hitchcock,
O'Gorman, Bhafroth and Reed were
active in their Quotation! addressed to
the representatives of the American
Hankers' aoeOCietion who held the
stund last week; and have advanced
many tentative suggestions as to
their own VleWl of necessary currency
legislation*
Sen itor Weeks (Republican) Will
attempt this week to force the com?
mittee to act on his resolution, ma?
ting off act Ion on the currency bill
until December 2. Administration
forces are lining up io meet this Issue
ami Democratic leaden in th! senate
' have made it plain that President Wll
?on'i influonc! will !>?? strongly exert?

WHY THE BULL Moosi;
\V. I*. Heard (lie Original Hull Moose
Itcvcals Hidden Secrets of the
.Movement In This Stute.
The real significance of the "Hull
Moose" movement In South Carolina
during the memorable campaign of
1118, |i explained by w. p Heard, af
Abbeville, In an open letter address
cd to Hon. Georgs R? Rembert, ol
Columbia. The latter is ; candidate
for governor In the approaching pri?
maries and was horn am raised in
Sumter County.
Mr. Heard says that the Hlcasites
were preparing to uae ti e progres?
sive movemenl In this Suite for tin
ptirpoee Of putting OUl ai independ?
ent ticket In the event th?B investiga?
ting committee recommended to the
Democratic executive committee
that the nominees in the primary hud
been nominated by fraud. For some j
weeks last summer it ap teared that
the nomination of Governor Blease,
Senator Tillman and others would he
thrown tint on the fraud barge. The
investigating sub-committee went into
the up ountry and into Orangeburg
conn', and made searching investiga?
tion a. The gist of the committee's
r port was that while it was believed
.raud existed there was not sufficient
to chance the result of the primal
facie primary returns am as a result
of this recommendation the execu?
tive committee of the Democratic
party in this State declared Hlease
governor, Tillman senator, and so
with the rest of the nominees.
In the letter to Mr. I lembert the
alleged plan of the Bleats supporters
is outlined by Mr. Heard, who states
that Mr. Hembert "was jis mur'h Bull
Moose as any of us."' Mr. Hembert it
appears, has twitted Mr. Heard in a
public communication v ith being a
"Hull Moose" and has attacked Mr.
Heard for supporting John L. Mc
Laurin for the governorship. It was
In reply to this attack that Mr. Heard
wrote the letter to Mr. Hembert.
Mr. Heard points out that John
Gary Kvans was "frightened into
line" by Beard'a publication In the
press of an "independent ticket" and
that this also brought Senator Till?
man into line. The "ticket," Mr.
Beard now avere, was to be on the
Progressive party In the general elec?
tion should the Democratic nominees
be thrown out on the fraud charge.
Mr. Hembert is remi ided by Mr.
Heard in hi* open letter, copies Ol
which have been furnbhd the press,
that Mr. Hembert was in this move?
ment and intimates thai the two had
agreed in a conversation not to fur?
ther mention the matter The conver?
sation is referred to as having taken
place on the train to Hendersonville.
The whole matter came up by rea?
son of the publication of an editorial
In The Anderson 1 ntell gencer to the
effect that a letter had been sent to a
Mr. Thaokstoii in Anderson county by
George H. Hembert, a Hacking John
H. Mcl.uurin and dec hiring George R.
Kembert's illness for the gubernator?
ial honors. The editor of the Intel?
ligencer at that time. Mr, V. H. Ches?
hire, so the editorial relates, went to
Mr. Thackston and told him, when
he sought publication of the letter,
that the communication "did not
sound like" Mr. Thackston but bad
the earmarks of I Columbia lawyer.
Mr. Thackston admitted thai Mr.
He mbert bad written the communica?
tion so Mr, Cheshire in his editorial
stated.
Mr. Hembert then wrote an open
letter In which he presented copies of
letters between himself and Mr.
Thackston, the nist ? t which were
that Mr. Thackston had asked Mr.
Hembert to write him a "hot" letter
and he (Thackston) would sign it and
hand it to the editor of the Intelli?
gencer for publication.
In the course id' his explanation of
the Thackston incident, Mr. Hembert
attacked Mr. Beard us being a "Dull
Moose " and twitted him in other re?
spects Mr. Heard replied to this"
with the Progressive movement ex?
planation given above.

Protest Ion to Mills and to Farmers
by Preventing Monopoly by Mil?
lionaire Buyers,
(Prom Walter Parker, New Orleans,
La.)
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
Of September 4, prints the following: '
Actual cotton merchants, including
the interior buyer, the factor and the
exporter in America, and the impor?
ter and distributor in Europe, the
men who prosper most when they
avoid speculation in the commodity,
fear the threat of such Federal leg
Islation as the Clarke Hill with
greater dread than does the specula?
tor.
The merchant uses the future i.nar
ket for dio "hedging" cd' his forward
sales to spinm rs before he has ob?
tained the actual cotton they re?
quire, for the "hedging" of cotton
purchases from the farmer before a
sale to the spinner has been made,
and for the protection of any cotton
he may own and desire to carry, so
, as to make it lirst class bank collat?
eral
In Europe as well as in America
there are many merchants who would
cease to buy the farmers' cotton and
sell it to the spinner should the United
States Congress put an end to the
i system of hedge trading in America ,
These men say this would mean the
concentration of the actual cotton
i
business in the hands cd' a few multi?
millionaire merchants, to the detri?
ment of both producer and consumer.
In*this connection, Mr. John Swan
son, of Liverpool, who has been in
close touch with the Southern spot
markets since 1875, and who, dur?
ing the oS years intervening, has
purchased hundreds of thousands of
bales in the South and exported them
to Europe, writes a New Orleans rela?
tive as folb>ws:
"It is Impossible for me to con?
ceive that such legislation as the
Clarke tax bill can become a federal
; law after its promoters shall have
become fully acquainted with the ob?
jections the legitimate cotton trade
can point out to them. I quite un?
derstand that the advocates of such a
measure, at the start, thought they
were doing the South .1 service, and
perhaps careful and judicious super?
vision, by the government, of the "fu?
ture* markets now so long in existence
might be advisable.
"I know that the possibility of such
legislation, which threatens the at?
tractiveness of cotton as bank col?
lateral, has already occasioned much
loss to the South, loss which will be?
come apparent later on when the lack
of forward gales to the trade begins
to be felt."
East year and in previous years,
spinners bought cotton in great quan?
tities for delivery months and some
times years in the future. The pur?
chase of cotton from the farmer
with which to till such engagement.*,
kept the spot markets steady week
after week, and month after month.
This year, because spinners feel
that the prospect of hedge prevent?
ing legislation promises to destroy
the protective machinery of the Amer?
ican cotton market, they have not
made the usual forward purc hase, un?
der the "belief that actual cotton will
weigh on the market later on, and
prices will decline.
