Their plan was that Of barter. They

Big settlements sprang w around the
mission stations and the missionaries trade
with the natives grew large. Agents of
rubber companies also traded largely, and
dazzling profits were drawn from dealings
In truck and by means OF the brass wire
currency. These dealings we're never de-

The profits OF one of the independent

LeOpOld's Labor scheme.
King Leopold explained. in the official
publications OF the state. that his plan
was one ITO noculate the taste for work
into the natives by forcing them to labor
for so many hours a month. chiefly on
the crown lands collecting rubber, and
paying them for their labor. From this
plan there developed the famous Congo
system. Under 1t no money passed hands
until recently. Labor was obligatory on the
natives as a tax; the payment or reward to
them was paid In kind. Tit system was
changed in 1906. when 1t was decreed that
! only one tax should be imposed on the
natives, that that tax should be stated and
payable in cash. that il might be as low as
$40 a year, and that Il should never be
higher than $3.50.
