SLAVE TRAFFIC.

England and France, although protesting an
abhorrcuce for this traffic, it would appear from
the ftlIowing, copied from the Washington Union,
tht they ure virtually carrying OH this traffic,
under the name of apprentices. We can see no
difference in the apprentice system and that of
the unrestricted slave traffic. These apprentices
are captured ny African chicfs and sold US ap-
prcn,iccs for a limited time, agans, their consent
They are thus forced into slavery in its most
Ino:.ial form. But TO the extract:
by private letter received in this CITY from
Loango, Coast of Africa dated September %,
1887, we are advised that the French have prac-
Gcally engaged i'll the slave trade under the
name ofnpprenticcs, and that ship, the "Clarn, -"
Of Bordeaux, was at Lonngo at the date men
toned above, loadng with negroes for Martinique
a French war steamer lay along side to protect
her from the English cruisers who would have
seized her but that she had Frcncl, naval officer
on board with orders to the French Commodore
TO portect her The English are also using ne
gr'es as slaves at Sierra Leone. The French and
English Governments are participating in II trade
which they nff.ct u deem SD hileous A barra-
coon has been hnilt by the French at Loango, to
he used Tor the safe keeping of the slaves until
they are ready for shipment. There is no secret in
this business and no disguise is attempted.
