PARODY ON THE INDIAN DEATH
i/l^r cca^ural.
FROM THE COLUMBIAN CEXTINEL.
WHITE BEANS.
Mr. Ruffed,
Agriculture and Com
merce being the great sources
of our national prosperity,l have
been induced to make an obfer
vition on the culture and ex
portafian of WHITE BEANS,
which of late year# have be

I ,6zr, CORNER- X
SONG.
§ The Editor thinks this ertimate very
small, at there were exported from the
port of Boston, from &fft of Olober, to
December 31, 1794, „',' theufand, fix
hundred and thirty bufheb of beans'.From
the tft of Odober 1-90,10 September jo,
1791 — a period whrn the commerce of
the United States, sas by no means so ex
tensive as it now is, the export of Basils
and Peas was one hundred and fixt, five'
tboufad,' ran hundred and Jrv„a,-tfae
bufluls.
come a canfiderable article of
oar export. My view is to in
duce the farmer to plant none
but clear White Beans ; as any
coloured Beans destroy in an es
sential degree their value, for
exportation.
At firft fight, with those who
look for nothing in a newspaper
but political dilquifition, or the
fate of empires, this may appear
trifling ; but I am confident,that,
attention to this apparently final!
matter, would save thoujands
and tens of thousands of dollars
to the country ! For instance,
Mr. Russell, suppose there are
exported from Boston 20,000
bufheis per ycar.§ These at
one dollar a bushel will net the
Farmer 20,000 dollars, and the
exporter, perhaps, 25,300 dol
lars. These (ball be lent to a
foreign port, wherein 20,000
bushels of Holland Beans should
net the Dutch Farmer 25,000
dollars, and the Dutch merchant
who exported them above go,
000, merely because the Dutch
beans are all White as Chalk,and
the American beans of all colors.
This is a real fact and from it 1
infer, that the Farmers who
lend their beans to Boston mar
ket only, experience an annual
loss of 5000 dollars,in this small
article. This lots must chiefly
fall on the Farmer, for the mer
chant cannot afford to give a
higher price than foreigners will
repay ; fend when he buys of the
Farmer he considers the. quality
of the article ; and, as it ref
peds American Beans, that they
will command not so much by
20 per cent, in foreign countries,
as other beans do—not from any
bad quality, but as laid before,
from their being coloted ! —How
easy then is it for the farmer,
when preparing his feed, to
prevent this ! —And when he
brings his beans to market get
20 per centadvance on his price.
The loss above contemplated
.applies only to Boston ; if we
then take into consideration the
losses experienced from the
fame cause, in the other ports
of this State, and the United
States, the sum must be im
menfe —perhaps 100,000 dollars
annually.
Besides, Sir, is not our char
acter as an agricultural and com
mercial nation, interested in this
business ? How mortifying must
be the fitnation of a Captain of
an American vessel in Europe,
when he hears foreign merchants
declare, that they can have no
confidence in American produce,
for quality ; and t® fee them
blowing on American produce,
while at the fame time they pur
chase the fame articles of other
nations, at an advanced price.

laws of those countries are bet

THE FARMER'S FRIEND.
February 26, 1795.
Copy of a letter from an Engljfh
Slave-driver at Algiers to his
Friend in England. ,
]By the blessing of God, I
have now got in a very good
birth. I have the command of
twenty flaves,fome Spanish,fome
Englilb, and some American.—
I get my victuals, and equal to
one shilling a day befides,and all
for driving the slaves to the field,
and keeping than to work when
they are there. To be fore it
went hard With me at firft to
whip my country folks ;but cuf
toni, as the faying is, is a sec
ond nature. So I whip them
now without minding it, just
for all the world as if they were
a parcel of horses ; only when
they commit a fault,! make them
whip one another, which you
know horses cannot do. I hope
Tom, that neither you, nor any
of my friends will think the
worse of me for being as I am
in my prelent birth. People
may fay this or that of the infi
dels ; but sure am I they do not
dklerve to be extirpated any
more than the English them-
Selves. For ore white Slave that
I we have here, the English have
ten black ones in the Weft-In
dies, and they use their flayes
much more cruelly than we co
ours. —And what
though we sometimes make the
English Tailors slaves, they arc
nuch better here than at home,
for they are nothing at the best
but slaves. You know, Tom,
low both you and your brother
Jonathan were knocked down
and pressed before you coulc
hand a rope; and how I: ng
crammed into the hold, your
brother died of the bad air ; but
you being Wronger, was saved,
by the bjeffing of God. You
know how you have shewn me
the marks of the flogging which,
the Captain ordered yon, and
all for falling from the main
yard, and killing his whore's lap
dog, though sure lam, he might
have pity on your poor broken
collar bone. And besides, we
do not make Oaves fight for their
matters, and they never come by
any wounds, as the Engliflimen
who are pressed for the Tailors
do. We only make them work
as they would.be obliged to do
or Harve at home. The visuals
are of the heft ; and for fruit,
the best English lord in the land
might wish to get what they
throw away; so that onr dealings
are mercy, compared with your
treatment of the poor negroes,
which both you and I have seen
at Kingston and which you will
remember by this fame token
that when we got aboard again,
we wiihed they would rife and
cut all the white men's threats.
So you must take care of taking
up wrong notions to my disad
vantage,; for we just do hereto
the whites what the whites do
to the blacks in the Weft-Indies;
only we use them more merci-/
fully. lam &c.l
