Rio DE JANERo, Jan. 90, 1913
Atrocio.s Cond,cf OF the British Government in re-
lotion to he Slave Trade.
Mr.. EDIToR-
lwish through the medium of the Herald to pre-
sent few reflections upon subject which the cii-
zens Of the United States do not fully comprehend
the suppression of the slave trade The cIvilised
world has so iOrcibly stamped the broad seal of
condemnation upon this odIous traffic, that it would
be work OF supererogation to enter into discussion
OF the abstract question OF the justice OF permitting
its continuance. Humanity well as policy calls
loudly for suppression, but would be well to
lock little at The means which are used under the
plea OF efiectlpg this object, some remedies which
applied have only the effect to heghten the
disease.
The course pursued by the British government
for the suppression of the slave trade, disgrace to
any civilized nation, and il rightly understood would
not be countenanced by those governments, who by
treaty stpuations have become party to this sys-
tenn OF oppression. Here we can see It's operation
more clearly than you can in the United States, and
propose enightening my countrymen in relation
TO some of It's practical details.
The english nation allow bounty upon every
slave which is captured from slave vessel. of five
pounds sterling each, which sum is distributed
among the officers and crew of the capturing vessel,
according to agraduated scale which has been pre-
pared lfa prize is secured by British cruiser, the
slaves, instead OF being returned TO their native
country, which is the course which an enlightened
and liberal pallanlhrophy would require are shipped
10 some of the British colonies. where they are sold
for limited term, extending from two to ten years
This is done ostenslbly upon the plea of remunera-
ting the expenses OF the capture; and that operation
of which we have heard so much Wanted philan-
throphy when il comes to be inve stigated dwIndles
down to mercenary traffic, unworthy great and
heightened nation But his is not the whole view
O the case The slave, which has cost five pouuos
for his redemption from the bondage of the SLAYER
sold in one Of the British provinces for years for
dirty or forty pounds, and the excess is again to the
government, which IS pursuing this oppressive sys-

thrown in the way of all legitimate trade to the
minent part OF the policy of that government. All
trade IN merchandise is broken up, except through
the English setlemests, upon the ground that the
natives in dealing with others, might make payment
in slaves.
Will the civilised world tolerate such oppression
and abuse? Will our government lend itself as
party to such fraud and injustice The question CON

The Street ContractOrs.

"Oh, your offence is rankit smells to heaven"-Hamet
Mr. EDIToR-
Ioduced doubtless by the reward which you We're
so liberal as TO offer, several private citizens have
dug into the accumulated ice and mud before their
dwellings, In the vain hope of finding one or two
street contractors No traces OF any have as yet
been dlscovered-1 am happy to inform you, how
ever, that few Patlandes. with hoe in their hands,
(and with no hose their feeO have been observed
scraping away In those streets through which the
ruff shirt politicians are likely to pass on the day
OF election. They have, however, done nothing
more than leave convenient carriage way between
the piles Of otfal and manure, which, with proper
disregard of the oactores OF the ladies', they have
lett reeklng and rottins close to the sidewalks.
Perhaps, Mr.. Editor, you, who are philosopher,
inform the unsophlstlcated public why it is that
the sweepers always leave their heaps of dirt in the
streets till they scattered far aud wide by the
wheels Of the carriages! Is it because they are
l. covetous of the emolument of doing their work
over again? 1t is old adage that new brooms
sweep Clean" but the contractors seem determined
TO give the lie to it. Yours,

RIO DE JANEIRo, Jan. 26, 1913.


To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Considerable interest has been excited here to
ascertain what course the ministry would pursue In
relation to the commercial treaty between England
and Brazil. BY the provisions OF the treaty, it was
conditioned that if either OF the contract ig parties
designed change of policy at the expiration o. the
treaty. that two years notice should be given, so as
To prepare the commercial marine for the alteration
The Brazilian government notified the British MI
mister that they designed a change in their com
merclal relations, which notification was forwarded
two years previous to the termination of the treaty
The Engllsh government claimed, under the pro-
vision referred to. continuance OF their arrange
ments for two years after the expiration Of the
treaty. and that such was the understa ndiug of the
British ministry upon the ratification of the treaty
The government here commended that II only re-
quired the prescribed notice to be given before the
expiration so cause the treaty and the arrange
ments to terminate simultaneously. Upon this point
considerable discussion and correspondence oc-
cured, which resulted In the Brazilian ministry
luctantly yielding the contested question The final
expiration ls now about to occur, and notwthstand-
Ing a special ambassador has arrived here from the
Court of ST. James, and every influence exerted the
Brazilian government has peremptorily refused
renewal of the treaty.
This is a subject which is of more Importance to
the commercial interests of the United States than
may at first appear. The treaty granted some ex
elusive tiles to the Introduction of British ma
nufactures, and placed the trade of that country
with Brazil upon a more favorable footing than any
other nation The privileges being now Withdrawn,
she has to enter into a fair competition with the
enterprise OF our merchants The effect is that
Of the British merchants residing here are pre-
pairing to return to their native country alleging
that they cannot conduct their business to advantage
under the change OF policy.
The subject is an important one. and ought to be
generally known throughout the United States. Our
merchants only ask fair competition, and their
enterprise will do the rest. American domestic
cotton goods, even with the disadvantages they have
had to encounter, have supplanted similar British
productions, and monopozed the market for some
years, and there are numerous other manufactures
of the United Stares, which, under the arrange
mens now going into operation, will find advan-
tase in the change.
Yours, &c. COMMERCE..
