1t was expected that Cardinal Satolli

the United States some time next
month.
Duluth Evening Herald: "Those
Duluthians (happily there We're few
who sympathized with the English
government in it's war Of conquest
against the South African republics,
have some Of the results brought home
to them by an American travelling man
who has just returned from business
trip to Johannesburg. They can now
see for themselves what the real object
of the British government was in de-
stroying the lives Of $4,000 Of the best
people in South Africa and 10000 Of
their own soldiers.
"'When I was in johannesburg
says the traveller, the mines were ex-
pecting the first indenture of Chinese
for employment there. The first detail
will number 10000, and they will re-
ceive their board and 371@ cents day
for their labor. The Cinnamon are
coming under contract between the
Chinese empire and the British colonial
government for a period of seven years.
They will be the white slaves Of At
RIGA.
"The Cinnamon will be kept on
compounds, the same as are the Kaffirs
at Kimberly. At the end Of seven years
they may renew their contract for an
other period of seven years, or may go
back to China, but will not be allowed
to remain in Africa. They are de-
barred from engaging their services to
anyone else than the government and
from acquiring property. They will
be kept herded in the compounds and
not allowed any degree of liberty
"There is the story in nutshell.
Seven years of slavery for 10000 hu-
man beings and the clearing Of the
mines Of both native and white labor
the destruction Of two republics and
war debt of enormous proportions
saddled upon the taxpayers of Eng
land.
Indeed the cost of Imperialism is out
of all proportion to the benefits under
the most favorable conditions Thia
enormous sacrifice Of treasure and lives
was made solely that few capitalists
might add to their ill-gotten gains by
the enslavement of thousands of their
fellow men. And it should also be re-
membered that throughout this great
struggle which the brave Beers made
in behalf of individual and political
liberty the present administration of
the greatest American republic was
too cowardly and too much engrossed
in money getting to offer even one
word of sympathy and encouragement
to these patriots who gave their lives
OH the altar of human liberty"
