From these tetums, ANOLUS may inform himself as
to the profits of a Sugar Estate situated near to that of
Mr. Steele's, during the years referred to by him• in his
6th letter ; viz. from 1778 to 1779, *hen the Codring-
ton College Estate *as actually cultivated at a loss.
For the next four years,l7Bo, 1,2, and 3, this loss COll-
- ; but that during 1784, 5, and 6, the years par-
ticularly distinguished by AsoLos, to prove the supe-
riority of Mr. Steele's system over the former system,
it is seen, that the Codrington College. Estate also pro-
duced a much higher gain, under its usual system,
when compared with former years, than ever Mr.
Steele's Estate had done; which chews that the in-
crease of profits did not depend, in this case, on the ope-
ration of the causes assigned by A NGLUS, but upon more
favourable seasons for the cane plant, and upon higher
prices for sugar.
Another observation is deserving of remark, relative
to the effect of commercial credit on West India pro-
sperity. During those years when tbe Codrington Col-
lege Estate was annually incurring debt, tom unfavour.
able seasons, if no individual had appeared to support
it through these calaiiitous years, the sufferings of the
Slaves must have been extreme, and the purposes of
the founder entirely defeated. Whereas, by having com-
mercial credit, the Slaves were taken care of during
the period of calamity, and their labour, in due time,
fully repaid all advances made on their account, whilst
they afterwards increased their numbers by births, and
at the end of fifty-four years, a sum of upwards of
seventy thousand pounds have been cleared by them,
and placed, under the will of General Codrington, to
be applied to certain specific: objects.
Had the case been that of a West India Proprietor
residing in England, the results would have been the
same, except as to the application of the funds created.
In the case of the West India Proprietor residing in
England, the sum would have been applied by him in
giving activity to Industry and capital in England, in
the same manner as if the sum bad been created in
Yorkshire or Ireland, by the labourers on his farms there.
From ihese returns of the nett clearance of the Cod-
rington College Estate for fifty-four years, ANGLII3
Will perceive that the assertion in his third letter,
Mating, " that the business of sugar planting, toy gave-
* laboar, has been one general average productive, not
IP of profit, but loss, during the whole era of Haytian
44 freedom," cannot be entitled to credit, without the
detailed production of facts to support its tfoth ; be-
ciuse the fact hero produced is directly opposed to the
assertion, as regards a Colony whose soil and climate
are not considered the most favourable in the West
Indies, for the production of sugar; but in which it has
nevertheless been profitable during the period men-
tioned. excepting three of these years. During all the
other years, the cultivation was profitable, and the
general average of that period was one of adequate
profit.—l am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
