showing that the products of the island
suffice for its population but, as the last
speaker observed, are we to regard the
prosperity of the inhabitants In the first
place or those outside the island? I do
not doubt that the answer must be the
former and not the latter. The re-
marks of Mr.. Gibson seemed to me to have
the sound of those of older times-namely.
advocating the forcing of industry and
production, and that has always ultimately
tended to the ruin of our Colonies. The
basis of the prosperity of the island now is
in entire accordance with economic
laws as we understand them. The pros
perity of former times was due to q variety
of causes. Slavery doubtless had a great
deal to do with it, but even that was by no
means the real cause. Sir Anthony Musgrave
said truly that they were causes to which
we can never return, and which have pass
ed away for ever, and we must look for
ward to 4 new stats of things, One of the real
causes of the prosperity of Jamaica arose ont of
the Treaty, little known, made In 1909 brtw cen
England and France on the close of the War of
Succession in Spain, by which Treaty the
French Government gave over t. England the
right it had obtained from Spain to supply
slaves to the Spanish Main aud the Spanish
w cSs lHuld OOlUulcS' ny IIcAin ~ bboO 4looiH
England possessed the ntire right of bringing
slaves from Africa to Jamaica, and the Span
iards then took them away to the Spanish South
American and West Indian Colonies. 1t was
that Treaty which had produced the prosperity
ofJamaica, and brou ght about''a state of things
whioh it was hoped would have lasted for ever.
1t was, moreover, by the destruction OF the
French fleet that the English flag became pre-
eminent over all the seas, and which allowed
England a monopoly of the Colonial trade,
and which considerably Influenced the prospe-
rity Of Jamaica. The celebrated Berlin Ordi-
nances of Napoleon 10 1907 also affected that
prosperity, and forced up the value of Colonial
produce to an exaggerated point. No doubt
that prosperity continued till the close of the
war but it was only temporary, for 10 1884
the slaves were cmancipated, and the sources
of prosperity we're destroyed, and all slaves
became free. Looking to the history of Jamai-
ca, we know what the causes were, and We
now look forward to the operation of economic
laws to continue that prosperity which We now
know is in the ascendant aud will prevail. 1t
appears TO mt that tho paper is most valuable
as showing how important 1t Is to consider the
value Of economic laws, against which we can

SIR ANTHONY MUSGRAVE'S
PAPER.
Continued from: our last nsmber.)

|
The discussion is too lengthy to give in
full. Following Sir Henry Barley came
Mr.. |. L. Ohlsen. He complained of the
expensive government of Jamaica and OF
the difficulty of getting statistics. He
thought Sir Anthony had much underes-
timated the population depending on cane
production (Which he no doubt had done):
and on the labour question in connection
with sugar estates he made the following
remarks "The fact that q man does not
work on q sugar estate is nc proof OF his
want of industry. Hear, hear. There is
no charge of l~aziness brought against the
labouring population when we say we can
not get labOur for the estates. Hear, hear.
His EXcellency says there are plenty OF
labourers in tho Colony for the sugar eS-
tates. Practical experience proves the
contrary. In jamaica or anywhere else,
the planter would not pay Gl5 to e. to
bring an immigrant from the other side OF
the world, If without spending q tarthlng
he found all the labour he wanted at his
own doors. Hear, hear. Jamaica plant
ers have made many mistakes, but they
have never descended to such a depth OF
idiOcy as that. daughter What we want
is that the claims OF sugar Shonld DC c0nSl
dered in a stateSmanlike manner as One'ot

country. We do not say that any local
West Indian Government could remove
the depression of the sugar industry. That
depression arises from the unfair cOmpeti-
ton in Europe, some striking particulars
ofwhich | hold in my hand, but cannot
refer to from want of time. The point l
want to insist upon is that the sugar indus
try, and q proper supply of iabour for
its maintena nee must be treated as one OF
great interests, of Jamaica which no 60
ment could overlo ok"
Mr.. Stephen Bourne followed. He
thought that the Mauritius and the EaS-
tern countries near the supply OF Coolle
labeur would always have a great advan'
tage over Jamaica in sugar cultivation, Dut
that in other directions, chiefly in cultlva-
ton of coffee, she could make great
advances.
Mr.. Alfred Henriques made a short
speech containing some valuable ntorma-
ton, aud we give it as printed III the
NerS Letter.
"My object in offering a few remarks to
YOU is mostly to draw attention to that
part of Mr.. Ohlson's address in which he
discussed principles of political economy
referred to in Sir A. Musgrave's paper.
1t is true, as Sir Anthony said, that the
exports of the island are not increasing.
1t must be borne in mind that exports are
not the sole test of the prosperity of a
country. The reader drew attention to a
great number of facts which conclusively
establish the growing prosperity OF the
island. He drew attention to the prOduc-
ing power of the island, and showed that
the public debt of the island was decreas-
ing, and he drew attention to the fact that
the area of cultivation was also increasing.
Another matter he drew attention to was
the increase in the bank note circulation,
which showed that there is more move
ment in trade, and where that is so it
shows there must be increased prosperity.
The fact that food is not imported
is another element of prosperity,

THE STATE PRINTING CONTRACT.

The figures published in yesterdays AP-
have believed, what the State would have
saved by accepting the lowest bid. The
estimates were not made under the honest
igu, es of the APPEAL bid. but under the
rates which Putnam claimed the APPEAL
Office could charge BY misconstruction of
the bid. The estimates were made to con-
vince the Board that even allowing Mr..
Putnam's suspicious regarding the bid as
correct, it was still the lowest bid offered.
The actual saving effected would have been
much greater. The Times of last evening
says,
The APPEAL of this morning publishes q
two-column review of the bids for State
printing made by that journal and by Mar
shall Robinson, who secured the contract.
and, if figures cannot lie, difference of
$749 in favor of the APPEAL bid is shown.
, Mr.. Robinson reposes calmly upon his al
legged lucrative contract, and remains mute
as an oyster. If he continues in the same
spot in which he originally fell the public
generally will be inclined to accept the
the APPEALS version as correct. Can't we
stir you up to reply, Mr. Robinson
The columns of the APPEAL are open to
Mr.. Robinson now, as they have been ever
since We made the first charges. The
Chronicle says:
The Carson APPEAL this morning offers
proof that the first bid of Mr.. Mighes for the
State printing was not Withdrawn and another

pert Putnam. The APPEAL makes it appear

The STOCKTON MA1L.-One of the most
rapid successes We have noticed for same time
on the coast is the Stockton Mail. Only a few
months old it has reused Stockton from it's
slumber and stirred up all the old fogies of
the town. Speaking of itself it says: " The
Mail has probably more active enemies than
any paper ever published in San Joaquin
county. But for one enemy it makes twenty
warm friends are secured. Thus its power is
increasing daily. One important circumstance
is that the Nails enemies are the old fogies of
the community upon whose backs the moss of
thirty years has gathered. These men are op-
posed to anything progressive. They no more
like to be disturbed than does the worm COM
fertably located under stone. The Mail
wants every one of them to oppose it. 1t
wants them to get out upon the street and
demonstrate their opposition, as well ss to
show it in the councils of public bodies of
which they are members In this way they
exhibit their old fogyism. The Nail wants to
count every old fogy an enemy and every pre-
gressive man friend.

HIsroRY WILL REPEAT IrsELF.-Says the
Gold Hill Ne,cs: "The miserable defeat,
however, may and doubtless will, prove good
lesson to the Republican party, and one which
will be a real benefit. The leaders and man.
ayers Of the party have had their hands tied
and their best efforts handicapped in q way
they can never be again" It is all we'll
enough to talk about what the party will do
two years heuce, but we doubt the indepen-
dence of the masses constituting it. The
party has had tho ball and chain of the corpo-
rations tied to its legs for some years past.
The paid manipulators Of the railroad compa.
mics have run nearly every convention, and
will continue to DO so. When the Republican
State Convention met in Carson last August
the people of the State anxiously watched its
course to see if it would repudiate railroad
rule. In drawing up the platform a strong
anti railroad plank was put in, but when Mr..
Tilden read the platform to the Convention
he found that the main clause Of that plank
had been erased. He paused moment and
remarking, Something has been stricken out
here, went on. A railroad official, who had
no place in the Convention, read tho platform
before it was submitted and seeing this anti
railroad clause remarked, Take this out. "
1t was done Immediately by men who seem to
be under the impression that they must labor
for the railroad first and the State and party
afterwards. The people saw the platform of
the State Convention, recognized the fact that
the party was in the hands Of the corporations
and, disheartened, repudiated it at the polls.
Two years from new history will repeat itself
if the corporations are allowed to run the Re-
publican party for their own private interests.
We predict that there will be just as many
rascals ready to sell out the party's honor
two years hence az there was in the last cau-
paign. .-.-....
