Gkhma.v Legislation. Immediately af
r Easter, the German Zollveiein Parlia
ment is to be convened. It will be recollect
ed that last year they were required to vote
an import duty at half a dollar per centner
on petroleum, which they refused to do,
and the bill was thrown out. It bat trans
pired that this year it ia not the Intention
of the Zollvcrein Council to repeat the
proposition; and it is also added that there
no reasou to Introduce a protective duty,
as the mineral oils produced and refined in
tbe Zollvercin are cow thoroughly capable
of competing successfully with any Ameri
can petroleum imported from abroad. It Is
proposed to reduce tbe duty on many arti
cles of general consumption, but that on
Imported c.fleo it is considered expedient to
increase.
