CHAPTER H. details the SLAVERY m THE BsrrIsH
CorosEs with its terrific waste Of life The author
shows that from 1917 to 1929 the destruction Of negro
life was proceeding with constantly acceleratng rapid
ty and continuation Of the stem;as il then existed,
must have witnessed the total humiliation of the Negro
race within half century. Any regrets, therefore,
We could add, over the Emancipation Act, on the
grounds Of its comparative injury to the blacks are
wasted; any arguments against the same act, II the
system as it existed was 20 be continued, are futile,
however popular in the South On the loss to life
eruiue from the British system, our author observes
Viewing these facts not doubt can, think, be enter

and retained for its consumption was more than double the
number that existed there ISL sea ecSd scarcely nave

in the history Of any civilized nSton
Chapter III which treats OF SLAVERY ~ THE UNITED
Sr.rEs We copy entire, as il relates to ourselves;
In the North American provinces the United States,
negro slavery existed from very early period but on
very limited scale the demand for slaves was manly
supplied from England. The exports Of the colonies we're

whereas the blacks would have required voyage 70 the
Coast Of Africa with which little trade maintained The
export from England ceased after the revolution Of 1855
and thenceorward gro slaves were more Freely
