british WEST INDIES.

The policy Of Great Britain towards
her West lUdia possessions is tending to
results Witch tie advocates. of the system
were warned orat the first. BY the Oil
cisl returns Of trade it apPears that from
1928 to 1899 the total agricultural pro.
duce Of those slands sunk fully third in
every article TOE tonnage awards, in
1928 was q z, 600 in 1889 1t was 1885,
$50. The price ofsugar in England is said
to be p third higher than il was ever known
bcfore-and this in spite of the asionish-
ing increase Of East India sugar, the mn
port of which has risen, during the last
six years, from six thousand TO fit:
eight thousand tens annually.
In consequence OF the high price Of SUI
gar tho present ministry brought forward
their proposals for reduction Of duty on
foreign 81. ;ur from 63 to So sIlllings per
Icwt. The consequences Of this reduction
would be most disastrous TO the planters
of the British West Indies who are al.

overthrow Of the Melbourne Ministry,
dwels with force upon their unfortunate
and mistaken policy towards the West
Indies. "They have first diminished" "
says this writer, "by about a third, the
total agricultural produce Of the British
West India Islands, and the total amount
Of shipping employed between them and
the mother county; and then to ill up
the gap, and remedy the deficiency which
they themselves have created, they pro-
pose to complete the destruction Of the
British West India islands, by an inunda-
ton Of foreign sugar, which will at once
render cultivation in our own colonies
impossible"
Another result has been to increase the
slave trade in Cuba, and Brazil for the
deficiency OF the crops IN the British
West Indies has stimulated production IN
those other countries, where slave labor
is used. Ii is said that since the emanci-
