The Berlin COMPANY has made to the Socedad Itinerars

couTie Of X years. a. the interest Of per cent,
which capital was intended TO be employed to
f1ifh mule trail to the Atlantic coast, a dis

liz Con psny. Moreover certain number Of shares Of
lie said company exchanged for lands and by this
LtgOtiation the property Of the Berlin Company in
Costa Rica increased 30 10000 Of uncultyated
wild land Qulte opposite to the political and
tional economical principles Of other countries which
recognize the opening ana the improvement OF public
reads the principal cource for the Development Of the
national wealth, tie government OF Costa Rca leaves
exclusively 10 private compapes the care and the
trouble Of finding and opening roads into and from this
Primitive mounaino country. In consequence Of
the small recunary means the coustry itself is able to
OEoT the want oil abOrers and the innate azness OF the
nfahtarts render such undertakings extremely slow,
nOtw tst1Lding their great Importance and advantage
for the country The Sociedad Itineraria del NOrte,
which founded for the object OF establishing con-
nCeton between Carriage the econd town OF the repab
lie ard the Atlantic coast distance Of about 81 miles,
bad received from the Government Of Costa Rica,
beside Other privileges The right to levy toll Of reals
for each qufta of freight which from to the coast
should pass tic projected road. If practicable road
isonce established toward the Atlantic coast the whole
commerce Of Costa Rca which is now exclusively con-
fined 10 The Pacific Ocean will then take its direction
toward Linen, On the Atlantic Ocesa, to which port
European vessels mil Git sail in 45 80 days, while
they have to perform the most awkward and
dangerous voyage round Cape Horn. aud generally
require four to five months to drop tie anchor at
gnIH
present expectations, one might suppose that the
revenue Of the Road Company for tolls alone lat
two reals per quinteD would amount to $1,000
annually The construction Of the whole road VIII
hardly exceed $2C0CC0 and its support scarcely re-
GuiIe more than $4,000 year Aud in face OF all
these great profits and advantages the execution Of this
highly important road is carried on with great neg
lpence, and will be opened by native endeayOrs
ard native means.
Besides these different colonization companies,
single individuals have attempted to introduce foreign
labor for certain number Of years. An Englishman
proposed to introduce 5000 Cbinese and to
their labor for number of years provided he should
receive $50 per head for passage and introduction
fee. The Government agreed to pay for each Chi
DoSe, at his landing the territory Of Costa Rlca,
$50, and a number of cOfeeplane agreed to
supply the rest of the premium required, provided
they should in proportion to their contribution gain
right to certain number of laborers for their planta
tons where the poor Chinese should be obliged to work
for several years at the rate of So to - wages per
month
With this agreement in bis pocket and thinking the
accomplishment of his task pretty easy,-judging from
The immense number of Chinese laborers in the gold
mines Of Californa-tle EDglislman proceeded to the
coast of the Celestial Empire in order to recruit quick
!, the 1900 Chinese laborers in question. But the
smart EDgshman found on bis arrival there, to bis
great surprise, that the Chinese were no longer the
Chinese Of former times; they had become more pru-
dent by tie numerous tricks and deceits they had
cd FRONT .rao laf
that poverty at home is still preferable to an uncertain
late in foreign countries, so that but few could
be reduced to leave their homes in order to
hire themselves for several years kind OF white
slaves abroad BY this sudden unexpected obstinacy
of the Chinese the whole project failed and according
TO the last information on the subject the dlsap-
pointed Spectator Las already returned to York
probably with the intention of rejecting on new plans,
by which the interest OF country IN want OF hands
can be the best iurthercd-ivr his own purse.
About the same time with the project to introduce
Chinese laborers, proposition made to the
Government in favor OF an importation OF Cody
Indians from East India, who, as in the Isle OF
France, BorneO and Nautilus, should be hired for
three years to coffee planters in Costa Rica, and
should in return, beside their wages of $40 month,
have the choice at the expiration of their time of SER
vice to be carried home free OF expense or to be pre-
serted with piece Of ground for their settlement
The protector, Mr.. Cauty, requested from the Gov
eIpment of Costa Rca for the execution of his pro-
ioct an advance Of $4,000, for which sum he would
have assumed an obligation to introduce 400 Coolys
fee of expense.
This project however also failed Oh account of sew
eral doubts and difficulties and all eyes were now d.
rected to poor, oyer-peoped Germany in whose dit-
eren territories many superuous workers are sigh
ing in such variety of need In the month of June,
1858. a certain Mr. Mari, from Hamburg, went so far
M TO conclude with the Government of Costa Rca a
contract which has in several respects great resem-
blance TO the slave trade ofArica The Germantrader
in human beings proposed TO charter vessel IN Ham
burg or Bremen and TO transport number OF starving
worthless German hanGcraftmen from those regions OF
GERMANY which are not able 10 provide labor for
every drent hand that is stretching out for it, INTO the
fertile solitude of Costa Rica For this service OF hu'
manity, each passenger TO Costa Rica was however
obliged not only to pay his passage but also to take the
save-like obligation to work himself and his family
during the first three years at the rate OF three reals
per day. The Spectator in human lives receives
from the Government for each introduced laborer Sio
and pockets with pleasure this easy gain, not feeling
that is the sweat of his German brother when mas
10 compensate tie country for it! Poor Costa kca
if it has no other means of supplying It's want Oh
population. "
