The West Indians, Indeed, are in some degree Ales& of

the point of losing even the &de that •they have : unlike
the East Indians, who, to verify the contrast, seem to
think that because they have Much, still mote should be
given to them. The claims of the West Indians are, how-
' ever, also grounded in error. They lioness immense
Llestates of landed property. which are chiefly valuable for
the sugars they produce. Cruelty end oppression first
established, and custom and Injustice still sanction, the
,cultivation of these estates by slaves. The unwilling and
constrained task-work of the degraded negro is so inferior
in its effects to the cheerful operation, of the free and
happy labourer, that in consequence of the sugar of the
'West Indies being raised by slaves, its test of production
is much greater than it would be if raised by free men.
The produce of these estates is brought to the English
'market, where it is met by the sugar from the East; and
notwithstanding the greater distance of the voyage, with
all its concomitant expenses, this Eastern sugar, (Wen the
superior fertility of the Indian soil, end the cheapness of
labour in that country, though the labourers are deprived
of all the advantage of British akin and machinery In the
preparation, is so much cheaper than the other, that the
West Indians claim and procure a duty to be laid on the
cheaper commodity, to make it equally dear with their
own.
The loos which the West Indian planter would sustain,
if he came into the English musket on equal terms with
the East Indian grower, would be certain; but the true
remedy for this would be, not the *Mug a duty on his
rivers produce, to incense its price, by w the West
Indian will be encouraged still to continue cultivation by
slaves ; but by abstaining from all interference in a matt&
of commercial competition, and making the slave culti-
vator feel that his system is unprofitable, thus obliging
him, by the most useful of all teachers, self-interest and
self-preservation, to become an advocate for the tholes
don of a system which has been the source of more
misery and suffering than any other single scourge that
has hitherto afflicted the world. T pretences set up
by the West Indians, that their Ire of spore

ford a wider market for British industry, Ind constitute
a better nursery for British semen, are the most ground-
less than can be imagined. Even under our present rela-
tions with India, beneqth the paralyzing influence of the
Company's monopoly, there is a greater amount of British
manufactures consumed in the East than in the West, and
an equal number of seamen employed in voyages to and
fns that country, as well as in the country itself. But
if the unjuat restrictions which still Letter British inter-
course with that rich and fertile quarter of the globe were
removed, we should see the consumption of British manu-
factures invested tenfold ; and ligi number lof ships and
seamen so Augmented as to funded,* navy, when required,

an increased mercantile marine.
