Opinion

PER CURIAM.

It must be assumed that when Congress passed the tariff act of 1897 it knew that it had been for some years the practice of-the Treasury Department to accept 57 pounds as the regular standard weight of a bushel of onions. Inasmuch as Congress did not in that act specify -the weight—as it did in the case of some other commodities—it must be assumed that it intended to accept that standard.

Decision affirmed.
