On July 10 Premier De TRoos an
nounced in the Belgian Chamber of
Deputies that negotiations for the annex
alton Of the Congo Independent State to
Belgium would forthwith be begun and
that as oon as a bill to that end had
been drawn up the Parliament, which is
about to adjourn, would be convoked.
He expressed the belief that this long
mooted arrangement would be concluded
during tho summer vacation.
There IA no doubt that SO far az the
natives are concerned any settlement of
the problem presented by the Congo
State would be preferable TO the existing
state Of things. Hitherto that country
has been ruled with autocratic authority

any advice was TO be offered they could
offer it themselves. The result was seen
when the President assured q Cincinnati
audience on September 10, 1902, that the
products Of many trusts are unprotected and
would be entirely unaffected by any change
In the tariff, or at most very slightly 90.
The Standard Oil Company offers q case in
point
II was promptly pointed out by less
strenuous and therefore perhaps more
leisurely students OF economics that the
Dingley act provides for a tax on petroleum
imports from any country equal to the
tariff imposed On petroleum imports from
the United States to that country; and that
since Russia is the only other oil exporting
country, Ind charges from $50 TO $50 Der
cent. tariff on petroleum, therefore the
Standard Oil Company is protected TO the
tune Of from $50 to $50 per cent. The
Executive economist in his second annual
message did not repeat his citation of
Standard Oil. but stuck to the general
doctrine:
The reduction OF the tarifr as a means OF reach.
ing the evils OF the trusts . . would mean
the abandonment OF all intelligent attempt 10 do
away with those evils . . The question OF
regulation OF the trusts stands apart from the
question OF tarir revision.
After some general observations on the
inexpediency OF invading the protective
system with a general revision. the docu-
ment continues with q second appeal for
ratification OF the treaties which the bullet
Of CzoIgoez had stretched li'eless in the
Senate archives. We read:
One way In which tho resdjustment sought can
be reached Is by reciprocity treaties. II is greatly
70 be desired that such treaties may be adopted.
