o. the earlier African slave traffic. The coolies
in some Of the colonies where the coolie sys-
ten was adopted were little better of than had
been the slaves whom they succeeded.
The coone system Of The middle Of the last
century was due 10 the emancipation OF all
slaves throughout the British Empire. In the
tropical colonies the slaves had been employed
on the sugar plantations. when the slaves
were released the planters Of a number OF the

The Kafirs have done 70 do more work than they

As white labor could not be satisfactorily used
IN the tropics the planters hit upon the idea
OF importing large quantities Of labor from the
oFerpoDulated Asiatic countrles-India and
China. Before the system was finally stopped.
hundreds OF thousands of poor Asiatics had been
transferred from their native land TO foreign
hands never TO return. A large proportion OF

According to the stories told OF the trials Of
the coolies taken from China to Cuba and Peru,
the situation of the cooe in British colony
was bed OF roses by comparison. Shpload

Those who reached Peru alive put up at

negro slaves was that their slavery was limited

There is talk also IN our Southern States OF
Che advantage which would accrue from the in
production Of the Chinese coolie in the cotton
selds OF America IN the place OF the negro. The
negro. some OF the planters assert, IS so averse

question OF cooe labor may arise also in con-
