THE REDEMPTIONERs.
Mfseries of Those who Got Into Debt
In OIden Times

Mfseries of Those who Got Into Debt
In OIden Times.
In Daniel De Foes time debtors were
frequently compelled in seeking means
to eXtricate themselves from their en-
barrassments to consent to anything
If they thereby could avoid the horrors
of the debtors prison. In many cases
they took advantage of custom that
in one form or another had u sanction
of antiquity, and being generally able
bodied men they placed themselves in
the hands of some merchant or agent,
who, having effected an arrangement
with the creditors, took possession of
the unfortunate debtors and, hurrying
them to the nearest seaport, shipped
them abroad, generally to Virginia or
Maryland as so much merchandise.
Sometimes the dealer accompanied his
cargo in order, if possible, to obtain a
better price at the end of the voyage
Arrived at their destination, the cap
tives-to give them their real name
were sold to any planter whose offer
would recoup the agent for the sum he
had expended in purchase and transit
and also allow him handsome profit.
BY the terms of this sale the captive
was bound to serve his new master for
several years. his liberty being nomi-
nally secured at the end of that pc
riod, and from the hope of redemption
and deliverance thus held out to him
the term "redemptioner" came to be
applied to these unfortunates.
But any hopes that the redemptioner
might cherish of his ultimate liberia
ton soon proved fallacious, and he
found himself plunged into fresh en-
barrassments long before his period of
servitude had expired.
Charges were made upon him for
clothing, for tobacco, even for the nee
essaries of life-charges which he had
no means of meeting, however good
his inclination-and too late he found
that he had in fact become slave,
without money, without rights and
without hope. Such friends as he had
were in England and probably had for
gotten him altogether. Perhaps if even
they remembered him they were with
out the means of assisting him, and
the chance of money reaching the in
dividual for whom it was intended was
in those days very small. Pacific rail
ways and ocean greyhounds' were
unknown in the good old times" AMI
communication was slow and insecure.
Some of these redemptioners were
of course more fortunate than others
and had friends and connections more
powerful and more kindly disposed,
and such often ultimately attained
their freedom. But these were the ex-
ceptions. and, generally speaking, the
unhappy victim labored on from year
to year. his redemption" receding fur
