Free Labor in the West Indies—Condi- ton of Jamaica. {0 THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD, New York, Oct. 7, 1859. I have been for a long while a reader of your valuable journal, and Ihave observed with considerable interest from time to time very important articles and letters in its columns on the subject of immigration to the West India Islands. Itis unquestionably the extreme paucity of labor—an evil which no amount of productive duty could compen- sate—which has brought Jamaica and other once wealthy and prosperous colonies to the verge of ruin. In trespass- ing upon your columns with a few romarks regarding this all-important question, I flatter myself I shall receive the countenance of yourself as well as the consideration of re. Where there exists, as im the island of Barbadoes,”the essential condition of a sufficiency of effective labor, eT mrt coe master and laborer is not reversed, ork understood, there is no reason why free labor not, on mere economical grounds, com- pola with compulsory lavor, or 1p fact sup- Plant it. In Barbadoes, during the most palmy days of slavery, the of the island rarely if ever exceeded 30,000 tons; they now amount to 45,000 }, and more. ‘To what are we to attributé the between this s penis eee roentlg Simpl Ee path ag many vant ly to an justo amount of labor. In Jamaica the servant, in fact, occu- Pies the position of the master, and it is only with the it difficulty that labor can be obtained at all. The im for the resuscitation of this colony is in a stem of continuous self-supporting immi- gration, under yodicious guidance and supervision. ‘The evidence on this bee is of 50 a character that It is an anomaly indeed that the British government should vate the calamitics of the planters by an ob- stinate to a bygone policy. I maintain that the , if not the sole cause, of this island’s prostrate condition is the want of labor. It is, at all events, the paramount evil, and until it be removed or ‘ive improvement. On worse and worse. The fertile mountain, and other uncultivated waste lands will only offer to the indolent negro congenial retreats to squat,where he can eke out an ignobie career—a career of mental, moral and physical decadence, proving to the world that emancipation has been—as indeed it now is in Jamaica—a signal and dis- asttous failure, This year the exports of hi oo from Jamaica will not execed 23,000 hogsheads; in 1828 they were 70,000, and during slavery they amounted to nearly double the latter figure, irrespective of coffee, cocoa, ginger and other sta- ples, then of great importance, but now so insiguiticant in quantity as to be unworthy of allusion. Ofa certain class of laborers Jamaica has enough and to spare, and could willingly exchange one-half for a supply of free laborers, less costiy, but far more serviceabie sub- stitutes. T will instance a few ftamigrants supplied by the home government:— SALARIES PRR ANNUM. A Governo £6,000 Bishop... 4,000 Chiet Justic 3,000 Vice-Chancellor 500 The debts of Jamaica amount to about £800,000, and I believe the revenue isa deficient one. The extravagant nditure of this small, insignificant island amounts to ,000 per annum. On this subject it is unnecessary to je words. It is a notorious fact and 2 notorious evil. The mal-ad- ministration of pyblic affairs is a curse with which this unfortunate islaift is afflicted. It England really wishes to crush the slave trade, and eventually to see ‘the slave manumitted thronghont the world, the most effectual course for her to pursue would be to render timely assistance, by the introduction of a sufficient body of laborers, into hor West Sudia colonies. Free labor, where legitimately abundant, is far more pro- ductive and remunerative than slave labor. To quote from an article which I recently perused in one of the morning journals, referring to slave labor in the South, the says— “Nothing but our almost perfect monopoly in the pro- duction of the most important staple of the world’s commerce has enabled us to pay such intolerable prices for labor. ‘The average va- luc of the slave is a little over $1,000—cay a capital represonting an interest of $80 a year or $7a month. The cost of slave labor is then equivalent to hired, providing for food, clothing, little luxuries, medical at: tendance, &c., and still leaving a clear saving of $7 month. Is there avy country of the world where un- skilled white labor is so highly paid?’ But really, sir, Mr. Everett thoroughly ind the question of the slavo trade in his lettor, dated Washington, December 1, 1858, to Mr. Crampton, the British Minister. He wrote to him as follows:— “Twill but allude to an evil of the first magnitude. I mean the African slave trade, in the suppreasion of which erence eee ‘ms o re yy civiliza - tendom, and perpetuates the Darbarism of Africa; but for which, it is to be feared, there is no hope of a coniplete re- medy while Cuba, remains a a The pith of the extract I have italicised.
