SAFETY or THE EMANCIPATION
POLICY,

! Certain pensiyo Cassandras Of the day delight
! in playing with the public fears by the prodo-
tons of disaster aud ruin which viii result, as
thcy pretend, from the realization OF the abolition
policy in the United States. If We are to be-
licyc these hoarse prophets Of impending evil,
The hour which bring, the system Of Slavery in
this country 10 an end will be the signal for all
the ,als Of wrath to be poured upon our devoted
hcads--thc nrca devoted to freedom in conse-
qucncc Of the proves of our soldiers will have
lost u.s. yalue-thc whole system Of industry
will be dcranged by the absence Of compulsory
laJor-and general crash in the world Of bust
me-, and finance will succeed the perils and
sacrifices of war.
But We can have no light on the pro poets Of
the future sayci in the experience Of the past.
The results OF emancipation are not 10 be deter
mined by clGmorous debate, but by examining
its effects under circumstances more or less
similar to those Of this country. In theadmirablc
work of the distinguished French writer, Nj.
Cochin, of which the second edition has just
been brought out, we have a plentiful store
house of facts and illustrations, showing the
bcuciiccnt influence Of freedom which are no
less conclusive than interesting. He discusses
the subject in all its branches and proves incon-
tcstably that the policy Of emancipation IN the
French, English, Danish, Swedish, and Ditch
colonies has had the most favorable results both
in an industrial, commercial and social point Of
view
In the English West India colonies, for ex-
ample, whose condition bore many obvious
lrcscmblanccs to our own, the transition of the
negroes from Slavery 10 freedom was effected
without disturbancc-thc material prosperity
Teach Of the islands was greatly inceascd-a
striking progress took place in industrial habits
and individual improvement kept pace with
the elevation Of the social condition. Not only
wa the change attended with complete tran
quillity-no vengeance, no tulnult, no mcen-
diarism no bloodshcd-but a remarkable nd
vance in the state Of the people was at once
exhibited. The number of marriages was pro-
digious--schools and churches were filed to
ovcrilowng-the love of property was greatly
developed -and wholesome and potent stimll-
lus was everywhere given to industry and pro-
duction. In 1899, the number of negroes III
the whole island Of Jamaica who had become
ireeholdcrs amounted to 2,1Ii, while two years
aitcrward it was nearly quodrupIcd, reaching
1910.
On the LIT of January 1913, the negroes had
built in the County of Borbice alone, l,lsl
houses since emancipation, and had brought
under cultivation nearly 1900 acres of land
which they had purchased. The value Of the
expectations from England to the colonies dur
ling tho last su years Of Slavery was $ls,slS'-
