In Jamaica, one hundred millions OF dollars
were paid to the owners OF Ham Q descendants
In that island by the English governments, TO res
lease from bondage a set OF well fed laoorers--
who were supplying their own wants,--render-
ing remunerating income to their owners,- -
and needful supply Of tropical productions for
the wants of the mother country. Here, the
experiment was thoughtfully made, and sur
rounded by wise forecast, that seemed to bid
defiance to failure. The land was owned by the
white race-their farms were all in good order
-on these farms, there was supply of good
houses-in these houses, the slaves had lived
and reared their families-these farms were
supplied with the tools and machinery necessary
for their successful cultivation-and To the use
Of these tools and this machinery the slaves
had been accustomed since childhood. These
farfns-the houses on them-the tools and ma
chinery-with the supervision of the owner

than by slave labor. On every farm, the need

guarantee was given TO the laborer, that capita
should not oppress him,--because the demand
Of capital for labor should always be kept
greater in that island than the supply. Ofcourse,

would allow. slt.a...5l 40. .Iaiu
