Hence the planter is clear loser N. Francisco
de Armas, in book Of singular value upon Cuban
Slavery. comments upon the figures of Poey and Re
belo and shows that the practical costs OF the slave
system of planting are even greater than these gen
tlemen have reckoned AS proving the decline OF
the sugar industry, he dwells upon the fact that
plantations which cost at least $274919 arc bought
with $4,000 $4,000 Of ready money. the rest to De
paid in instaments of $4,000 or $4,000 Even plan
tations bought on these terms bring ruin rather than
riches TO those who acquire them. Some pay with
pnnctuality the installrnents; but more sink in
debt With the authority of Humboldt Mr.. Armas
contests the statement of his couDtryman that the
animal loss OF slaves in plantation of l42 negroes Is
as low as "a per cent. haciendado has assured HIM
that even the figures of Humboldt were low. and
that the actual loss is from to per cent which
New-York tribune., 1869-04-10

take to be the truth. The calculations OF the slave
holding Mr. Poey furnish Mr. Armas with the basis
of an unanswerable argument against the poverty
and crime Of Slavery, and Of course he makes good
use of the shameful fact that in ingenio OF $5OOO
the cost for yearly sliment not only OF the liS
slaves, but of other employees, is sloS1-so
that each slave is fed daily at an expense Oh
three cents or less. 1t used to be an opinion in
England respecting America that the average life OF
laborng slave was not more than eight years; and
although Mr. Armas eonceives this to be an exagger-
aton it is not bad as that contained in the state
ment of his slave-owning neighbor. Again Mr. Armas
cOrrects Mr. Poey by saying that no haciendado
simply by the yield of his plantation, obtains money
at per cent year. The truth is. ne pays u per

The Cuban author, upon whose opinion have Just
drawn. appears to believe that there is something
moro necessary to be cultivated in Cuba than the
sugar crop and that is the crop Of men. lie proves
that Slavery makes labor torpid and barren, and that
those who rob it in Cuba very great spendthrtts
All the stupidity of the system works itself into the
brains Of the planter and the slave never learns
neither does the master. Freedom and
wages only can supply the stimulus
wanting Il was once recommended. and be-
lieve by the Cuban to whom refer, that the plant
ers should try the experiment Of giving small pre-
MUM OF monthly sum of money to their slaves but
nobody ever listened to that suggestion. and the
sugar crop is as little rewarded for growing as the
slave is for his labor, and both arc unencoura1ed
and poor There is such thing, then, as cultivat-
ing labor, and what makes the man grow will make
the cane grow-that is to say, liberty of work.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
THE SUGAR NTEREsT-sLAvE LABOR.
iPROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT


HAVANA, March H.-There is a common delusioh
that Cuba is exceedingly rich. Spain has instituted
this mistake for her purposes and the crowd OF
strange officials she has been accustomed to quarter
upon the island have of course found it rich enough
to sustain her demands and their own. But IL
man gets robbed Of all he earns and has to live upon
what he owes, it is not saying he is prosperous
Cuba is naturally of great value. You know lts
sugar crop is large, yet if were to describe II as
being in astate Of splendid misery and hint that It's
revenues are kind Of gambling with money and re-
sources that its sugar-cane culture and industry
are sort Of gambling with nature, that its slave
system is o species of gambling with souls and
bodies and that its ruling doctrine OF economy ana
politics CANDLES with the truth, the general story
would be about told The island has been impover-
shed to keep labor cheap. Spain, Cuba, the officials
and the planters, have all borne down upon the
slave and have been supported by him, scarcely sus
pecting that they were all the poorer for his poverty
house built upon sugar and moasses, with the
sinews and bones of slaves is little worse than one
built upon the sand Slave labor and its superstruc-
ture Spanish oppression have, in fact been cheating
the planter out of his crops
This will be best shown by borrowing figures.
Sugar being the mother industry of the island its
statistics will give the type of general condition OF
things. 1t is most significant then, that the sugar
culture in Cuba is about tho poorest in the world
