The British West Indies.

Fifty years ago the Emancipation act
was passed. A couple Of years previous
ly the value of West Indian exports was
50, 932, 800 In 1880 the value of ex-
ports was fS, 904, 900. Meanwhile the
population has grown from $685. TO
1,493, 062. A population more than
half as much again produces for expor-
tation millions worth less. Of the
diminished exports two millions worth,
it has been calculated, is raised by the
labor of a hundred thousand coolies.
Each negro is computed to produce not
more than Is worth of exports as
against more than double the value half
a century since. Wages are small. In
Jamaica they are ordinarily a shilling
day. In Barbados and Trinidad, al
though the average is about the same,
men in crop time and by piece-work
frequently earn double. Wages of
women are fifth or a sixth less.
Three pounds of rice or three pounds
and a half of corn meal, with
ten ounces of salt fish, or an equivalent
quantity of meat are required to keep
in health a man and his wife if in
regular work. On scale somewhat
lower the food of household consist
ing Of two parents and two children, it
is reekoned, would absorb a shilling
and eightpence halfpenny q day, leav-
ing little for rent, taxes and clothes. In
the United States a similar family
would consume 480 pounds of meat and
80 bushels of grain. Except in Bar
bados and Trinidad the children of the
negroes are declared to be everywhere
miserably underfed In Antigua it has
been stated. the lamentations of the
hungry children are heard throughout
the estates and villages while the
mothers are away at work. In many
places the infant mortality exceeds 80
per cent. of the recorded deaths. A de-
sire, resulting from poverty, to escape
the pecuniary burdens Of paternity
shows itself in the terrible figures of il
legitimacy. Sixty per cent. of the
births in Jamaica are Legitimate
London Times.
