RESULTS OF NEGRO EMANCIPATION
We have had occasion frequently to pub.
lish frightful accounts of the results Of
negro emancipation in the British West
Indies. The subject has recently been
presented in a more authoritative light
by the Liverpool West India Association.
In recent memorial they stated form
ally the well-known fact that the cost OF
production in most instances equals the
value of the sugar crop. On the other
hand, Cuba, by means of slave labor,
has, within the short period of eight
years, increased her cultivation from
olO,465 boxes to l ,245, Asa boxes Of SUI
gar; the shipments last year alone hsv
ing shown an increase of Ito, 900 boxes
over those of the year preceding.
