The experiment has been already
tiled iD the French and British
West ludies. The Island of st.
Domingo in 1871 employed 1000
ships and 27,0G0 sesmen in ber
trade, and exported annually many
millions to foreign countries
The negroes were emaneIpated in

stituent Assembly, and in 1882 The
ships employed in the trade went
down to one. and the seameD to one
hundred and sixty men. Add such
