alive. Each labors under the lash
for a few months that may amount
to two OF three years at the most
and then dies. that another may take
his place. The malaria and the cruel
servitude are beyond the endurance
OF the human. Yet the system mas
querades under the name of "indenture
labor" and the nefarious practices
continue without end.
The detail Of how this round OF slav-
cry and deaths comes about is simple
The plantation owner. who is a rich
man living in Lisbon and often &C
eupying an important seat IN the gov
eminent, writes 20 a slave trader in
West Africa arranging with him for
the number of men and women he re-
quires. The slave trader in his turn.
goes to a native chief in the interior
and hires him 10 procure the requisite
number Of slaves This chief win not
give him any Of his own people. but
takes his warriors, raids a weakened
chief OF some other Of the innunlerabls
tribes, DISCRIMINATING him and taking
captive men, women. and children and
cattle. The women he distributes
among his warriors; the children he
sells 10 the coIonists as slaves: the
men he hands over 10 the slave trader
and the cattle he keeps for himself
These latter are more valuable than
the children who sell for so each, but
the men. who may go 20 the islands,
are worth 800 upon delivery.
