One cannot wonder that the white
man should be vituprrativein in his WRATH.
First came emancipation. he bore that
with mantul courage; for it must be re-
mtmcerpd that even in that he had much
to bear The price he got for his slave
was nothing as compared TO that slave :
ac ual value And slavery t. him was
not as repugnant as 1t is TO you and t"

w;ik manly courage. Tie could no long
er make slave grown sugar, tut lie would
not b. compelled to compete with those
who could. he pro ectiSe duties would
save HIM there.
Then FREE trade became the fashion,
and prote tive duties on sugar was abol-
i,hed. beg it may not b. thought L

West Indies We're. | think, thrown over
in a scurvy manner, betaus they were
thrown over by their professed fri nds.
But that was. we all know, the way with
Sir Robert Peel We'll, free trade in
SUGAR become the law of the land, and
then the Jamaica planter und the bur
den too heavy for his back The money
which had flown in so freely came in
such small driblets that he could make
no improvements. Portions of his rs-
tate went out of cultivation, and then

now that Jamaica is looking in earnest
for immigration-fo it has long been
looking for immigration with listlrss
dis-earnrst-the planter is told that the
labor of the the black man must be pro-
tectpd. If be be vltuperative. who can
wonder at it, To speak the truth. lie is
somewhat vitupe. alive.
The white planter of Jamaica is sore
and vtup-rative and unconvinced. He
feels that he has been ill-usrd, and forced
TO 60 to the wall; and that now he is
there, he is m-anly spoken OF. a. though
he were bore and nuisanee-as one

ter all slavery was not so vile an institu-

ers has painted it too black. In those
old dqvs the work was done. the sugar
was made, the workmen wera c1mfnrta-
