HISTORY, as is constantly being said,
only repeats itself. We have pamphlet
| giving an account of an attack made upon
the Government and planter of Tahiti,
very similar to that now being made upon
US by the Chronicle. In 1868 the Tahiti
/ Coffee and Cotton Plantation Company
was formed with n capital of S506,000.
There was considerable jealousy excited
because certain privileges were allowed
the plantation, and in consequence an
effort was made 10 bring pressure upon
the governor to prevent his allowing the
sale of native lands to the company This
led to a considerable amount of 6criino-
NOUS correspondence between the British
Consul and Mr.. Stewart, the owner of the
plantation, but did not prevent the com
pany's starting. For some years the
opposition remained local, but in March,
1867, the brilliant slavery" cry was hit
upon and an article appeared in the San
Francisco Times in which we have the pro
totype of our friends Messrs. jameson.
Allardyce, the artist and others. The
informant was Mr.. W. Pool. resident of
Six Mile Bar, Cal, who had been to Tahiti
to get work The article is headed
Cruelties of the Slave Trade on the
Islands" We have the same story of
starvation, tiogging, no redress, imprison-
ment, no pay, a constant system of fines
which keeps the people ever in debt, SO
that they cannot escape from their bond
age. Another article which appeared in
the New York Herald was headed, - Horri-
ble Cruelty French Slavery in the South
Pacific" This followed in the same track;
it commences by saying that the slavery
"Jor systematic bar5arity lcas. nocer oqu1lled on
dny southern plantation" The Chronicle man
must have this pamphlet in his possession
and have hashed up some of these say
ing; similar phrase occurs in the last
fle-following on this comes " the inexor-
able demand for blood and muscle"
men, women and children worked under
the lash" " the overseers go armed and
always carry whips and clubs" etc, etc,
etc, till it is almost absurd TO see how
identical the attacks are.
We have not recapitulated this without
q purpose; 4 lesson is to be drawn from
the action of the Tahitian authorities.
The action was prompt. Upon receipt of
an article published in Sydney. July Both,
there was no hesitation. A commission
was appointed which commenced its
enquiry On September 23d, The fourteen
members were chosen from the principal
nationalties on Tahiti; French. English,
American and German, the result was a
report now lying before us. Every detail
of the plantation was carefully gone into,
the houses Of the laborers, their food, etc.
the laborers themselves were examined,
