edge, and as the number Of negro peas
ant proprietors increases, there
has been falling off in imports Thus
last year the imports were $3.50, 600
less than the previous year, and in
the matter of breadstuffs alone, which
form the staple import. there was fall
ing off in values from S. 900 600 in 1875
to -, 420,100 in 1882. The people are
learning each year to depend more and
more on home produce, and are beeom-

When the negroes were emancipated
there was hardly a peasant proprietor
in the whole island. There are now ST.
600, mostly negroes, and all have ac-
quiIed their little holdings from the
white planters by purchase. Their own
ership IS the fruit of honest, patient toll.
1t has been a hard struggle, uphill
work, so far, but their progress has been
great. 1t will be much greater hence
forward. They have now a frmer foun-
dation on which to build; they are their
own masters, the owners of their own

Negro Peasant Pronrietors.

the negro-labor question is much dis
cussed in the southern journals. While
some NEGRO haters," like Hamburg
Massacre" Butler, denounce the colored
laborers as idle, lazy and worthless, the
balance of opinion is quite the other
way, and most of the planters and farm
ers agree in giving the colored race a
fair character for industry, diligence and
thrift. Wherever the co!ored men are
owners oftheir farms or little plantations,
they are able to hold their own with
their white neighbors. Peasant pro-
prietary has, as in the case of the more
favored race, though perhaps with less
degree, conferred on the colored people
a sense of responsibility, and the con-
serYatisn ofoWnership has spurred them
to industry and begotten in them habits
of thrift and carefulness. The circum-
stances under which the colored people
of America became free have not been
favorable to their becoming peasant
owners, and it is not surprising that
most of them are landless. The number
of those who own their own farms and
plantations, however, is yearly increas-
ing, and the indications are that it will
continue to increase. 1t may be inter-
esting, therefore to examine into the
condition OF negro population where
the majority are peasant owners. This
is the case in jamaica
OF the half-million ofinhabItants ofthe
island of Jamaica almost all Except the
European merchants of the towns, the
English soldierv, and the English Of
ficialsl are negroes. Their occupation
consists mostly of Embarrassing and sugar
cane and coffee cultivation. Since their
emancipation they have made great
progress, and have most ofthem become
owners of their own little plots Of ground |
averaging from three To four acres. |
There are in the island 50 900 holdings. |
OF these 10000 are not over an acre, and |
26, 600 are between two and three acres !
In the old days ofslaverv sugar-caLe Gull |
tiyation was the principal industry of |
the island. 1t was asserted by those who 1
opposed the abolition that with enanci- |
patton this industry would languish and /
die. It was said the negroes would not |
engage in the hard work required unless /
under absolute cOmpulsi0n, This has
been totally disproyed By the events.
The exports Of sugar and rum last year
were larger than for any yea since 1889
and in the meantime various other pro.
1uctive industries have been established
by the emancipated negro peasant pro-
prietors, adding greatly to the wealth Of
he island. The value Of the coffee ex-
ported in 1879 alone was 81 ,245, 600. But
he most noticeable advance made by
he Jamaica negroes is in the cultivation
Of fruit which they send largely to this
country. Ia 1867 the whole fruit trade
gith the United States amounted TO |
1880; last year 35, 100000 oranges alone
we're sent here, and the total value of
he fruit trade was $500, 00o.
II should also be stated that while the
export trade has been growing yearly as
the negroes continue to grew in knowl-

Correspondent st. Louis Globe Democrat.
More than for geological surveys and
explorations do the people cry for some
form Of government and the establish
ment of some definite law and sorder;
for in its present neglected condition
Alaska is a territory in name only. The
collector of customs at Sitka, and his
two deputies, are the only civil officers
invested with authority, and their juris-
diction only applies to treasury regula-
tons as to imports. duties, and clearance
papers. The people have petitloned for
governor, for some judicial officers
or to have recognized delegate in Con-
gress, and nothing has ever come OF 1t.
Man-ol-war government may have done
very well for few years Alaska has
been developing industries and slowly
coming into prominence that demands
some protection of law and sembanc
of order. If a trader is caught selling IL
quor to the Indians he must be indicted
and tried by the court at Sankrancisco.
If convicted he may be fined $500, mean
while the expense of bringing the &C
CuSeds and all the witnesses from
Alaska to San Francisco costs the
Government three or four times as
much as the hDe they amount TO. As
the United States Attorney once re-
marked, They bring ten-cent Indian
down to San Francisco and give him a
one-thousand dollar trial, all for doing
the territory favor by killing the worst
white man in it" 1t is only in extreme
cases, however, that prisoners and wit
| nesses are treated to an excursion to
San Francisco at government expense,
since the commander Of the man-of-war
is vested with constabulary and all 9TH
er kinds Cf power, and metes out justice
by direct and common-sense methods
without the riemarole of the.law. The
discovery of gold at Juneau, and the
rapid growth Of that mining town, makes
the want of government all the more
| felt and the trouble constantly arising
| between the miners and the Indians,
keep the man-ol-war at Sitka busy main
| tanning the peace by wholesome exam
| pies. Owners of mining property at
Juneau cry for surveyor and a land Of
| tice more than for a police court, since
| without surveys or titles to their lands
| they hesitate to put money into works
| or mills that the first organized band of
| squatters may sdemohsh or take from
| them. While this state Of perfect law
| lessness exists, enterprise is checked
| and operations are slowly conducted, the
| great capitalists waiting until some pro
| lection is assured 10 property and some
! form of government is given to this rich
| and undeveloped country.
