bf ISLAM AND SLAVERY. An Interview with Dr. Schweinfurth, the German Explorer. THE CURSE OF AFRICA. Mohammedanism the Propagator ‘ofgthe Slave Trade. DUTY OF CIVILIZED NATIONS. Condition of the Colored Race Un- der Moslem Masters. A PLAN FOR REFORMATION. BERLIN, Jan. 6, 1872, ‘The lively discussion of the. African alave trade both in England and America has prompted a call apon Dr, Gustave Schweiniurth, the eminent Ger- man geographer, who has made two exploring ‘voyages to Africa in order to obtain his views on ‘this important matter, DR. SCHWEINFURTH, though very busy writing up his latest travels, evinced willinguess to impurt such information as’ he might, without special preparation to enter into /Specide details, and spoke about as follows :— ‘The destruction of the AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE would be, indeed, an achievement worthy of the great American nation. The task, however, is so gigantic a one that European peoples, still weighed down, more or less, by the fetters rivetted upon them in centuries past, must shrink from it. Hence the hopes of philanthropists are naturally directed to that mighty people who, by extirpating slavery from their own vast domain, have performed an act of undying lustre. If we except a few isolated locations, the rights of the colored race are now acknowledged throughout your hemisphere, and freedom of all mankind, that beneficent seed sown by you, is already bear- ing fruit on African soil. Look at the Guinea Coast. The slave export there has ceased, and flourishing ‘towns and peaceful commerce are now thriving on that coast. All that can be expected from this Continent is that apathy and lukewarmness which, in the absehce of wars, constitute the main attri- butes of its policy. Here we still have the old fashioned “balance of power,” the jealousy of lynasties, the ever unsolved Oriental question and from such a condition of things none but ‘unfruitful efforts can result. England hag been relentless only towards Portuguese ang Spanish slave dealers, Out of tender compassion dor her pet, the sick man of Turkey, she always winked at the Oriental traders and markets of human flesh. This may sound trivial, but it will Pease to so appaar if we look at the consequences to which it leads. Without slavery no Islam can exist, without Isiam no Ottoman Empire, without ‘the Ottoman Empire no British supremacy, &c. ‘This requires no proof, Let any one who doubts it show the contrary. As for us African travellers, we are not fond of ‘half measures. We lack the necessary patience. If ever possessed of that useful article, we lost it in the desert. It is said of Europeans that they lose their patience in the Indies. The same, though with much more force, applies to explorers of Africa, especially of the Mohammedan portion, as may be experienced by a contact of years with the Moslem. The task of grappling with slavery, bir, I repeat, is a GIGANTIO ENTERPRISE— ‘one which none can better appreciate than those ‘who have witnessed the curse at its source. On ‘one point all African travellers agree ; Islam affords no hope and will enter into no pact. The desert- ‘born Islam, whose spread creates more deserts, closely connected with the sterile uplands of Nubia “and Arabia, and the homogeneous mass of peoples extending from Morocco to the Sunda Islands, is a power more formidable than any other moral force which now obstructs the march of ctviliza- ‘tion and human fraternigation. It is but a theory Andulged in by book-worms in their easy chairs ‘that Islam is capable of development. Nor can it. ‘ve said to be waning. Its believers, living, so to @peak in eternal infancy, may be compared with the “vegetable germs slumbering in the sands of the desert, which are called int? ephe meral life by a jmere drop of dew or rain. NO PROSPECT OF CONVERSION. It be asked whether the Mohammedan na- ‘tions could not be civilized by conversion to Chris- tianity. Isayno. Rather than undergo the change they would sutfer themselves to be crowded back dnto the desert whence they came. All well in- formed Europeans and Egyptians, when asked if they think it possible to engraft Kuropean culture 4 ‘upon the Mohammedans, will promptly answer, “No.” Would they change their religion? ‘Nol’? But culture could be brought into the country, in ‘spite of Isla by emigration. This is fully cor- reborated by ince’s experience in Algiers. Her amild acministration, her “Bureaux Arabs,’ have directly hindered the country irom developing : anto what it might be—a rich and prospering colony. All one sees there 1s @ little external varnish of ‘Western civilization (just as in Egypt), while the ancarnate hatred of the Giaours still exists in all ite intensity. ‘This is admitted by those Francs who, . mot recognized as such, enter the circles of the ' natives. Precisely the same condition would exist ‘in Egypt, wo és that country in the hands of Eu- ‘ropeans would yield revenues far exceeding the sexpenses of administration. veral years ago the Khedive Ismail Pacha de- screed that all officials should don EUROPEAN COATS AND BREECHES. ‘It was punctually obeyed, as if civilization 1a) coats and breeches! Not a word was said about ‘public schools, and the attempts of Mohammed to establish them have long since proved a fail- ‘ure. Whatever costume officials may wear will not change their views of slavery and its markets. It 4s considered bon ton to have a house full of slaves, . Masters invariably rest on divans and stir not a hunting nor fishing, riding, mor even walking— mone these wholesome exercises exist for the lords of the divan. If they thirst all ‘they do is to lift the hand and call out, “Ja wallea” (Here, boy!) and a slave brings water. It is the game ie one wishes to sinoke, sleep or rise—a Pas and @ word bring a troop of servants to his side. ‘This is @ fair picture of Eastern apathy. To re- move its cause—viz., slavery—would be equal to a regeneration of the Orient. ‘It may not be possible ‘to abolish slavery without simultaneously reorgan- zing society in the Orient. But even that would be preferable to the present condition of things, At has been attempted to justify this slavery by scomparing the mild treatment of slaves with the imiseries of their wild homes, and it is true that ‘there—contrary to European ways of looking upon siaves as domestic animals—they are objects of duxury, Only a small fraction of the annual ex- \pert is employed in Egypt or in the Nubian prov- ‘nees for agricultural purposes. Though depriving ‘the megro of all rights the European forces fhim to @ useful member of society; the “Oriental granta him certain privileges, such as tes- jtifying in Court, &c., but keeps him in idieness. I ere Omit speaking of the abuses which boy and men slaves are audjected to by the Turks, and say mothing of concubinage, the inseparable accom- animent of Mohammedan slavery. ‘The robbing t of young females has been the main cause in de- populating entire countries. I say this from my own observation in the country of Dar Fertit. But what should most enlist our sympathy ts the terribie hardships to which those poor Slaves are subjected on their journeys through the wilds of the country, and the epidemics which decimate them. The more Reathen blood we draw from Africa, say the Arabs -and Turks, the less these barbarians will multiply fad Kill off each other. TUE GREAT CONTINENT OF AFRICA should by all means be made to rank among the civilized world; and in order to do that slavery must first be abolished, And if, in order to do that, ‘Turks, Arabs and other lethargic nations must dis- appear from the face of the giobe, let them go, and make way for the industrious coolies 0 a. From 1863 to 1866 and from 1868 to 1871 I visited all lave markets of iro, Siut, Dehidda, Suakin, amma, in Galla- bi netrated to the sources Of supply, back iato Kordofan and Darfur. With me it was an object of constant excitement and pain, and mal time have I meditated for means to stop the barbarous tramc. On the highways of the m- terfor, on the Nile and the Ked Sea—everywhere 1 saw slaves being driven or Shipped. To suppress the odious commerce on the Red Sea a single Eng- lish gunboat wonld have suficed. Never had one | been seen there, ‘As ® matter of course, those who carrry on the trade are the most abandoned wretches. I saw multitudes of those specimens at Darfur. The most of them Fakira (priests or teachers) put on a & religious pretence which, considering their works, is traly ting. With the Koran in the one hand, the castrating knife in from seriba to seriva (gla is there termed a pious, p) their in‘amous trade of robbery maimiog the males and se! Prostitution, and throwing a all this by. ving their miserable station); leading what riestly life. So they ply of human beinys, the females into of piety over victims such names as "(God hath given it) and others of a like character, When under excitement I sometimes be a to feeble instra- humanity and hurried to ment of the rescue of some poor, tortured slave. I once, between Kartoumian and Berber, cut tue leather thongs with which slaves coming from Kardoian were fastened together. The thing caused a terribie row, just a8 on anuther occasion when, in the Djur country, 1 knocked down 4 brutal mares and my oniy way of getting out of the diMcuity was to plead personal revenge; for, had L uttered a word as to the real motive of my as- gault, I should have at onee been looked upon as mene and 2 egy ate low, if you ask me by what means this curse is to be eradicated, Tam hardly able to answer. Ip the country itself there are no means of improve- ment, no hopes for a change; no confidence to be placed in Feyptian Oflicials; not even assistance to be bad trom the Viceroy, who, though meaning well, lucks the requisite power, No ordinary man can perform the task. It requires a reiormer like Peter the Great, backed by a s people open to inno- vations, like the Russians, However, if you insist upon the suggestions of an “explorer of the fated sections preyed upon by the curse,” I willgive you, a8 crude as they are, MY IDEAS. 1, Egypt should be occupied by one or more of the promunent civilized powers, The French have olticiais who command the idiom, aud the Knglsh have gained experience im the that would enable them to force the tramework of a regniar State government on the Mohammedan, ‘te Egyptian jsevahs tural laborers) would hei t the ‘and the rest oi the popu- greet change, lation would be indifferent to it, especially ii, as a Sonseanence of it, their taxes were to be lessened, The Viceroy, who is not very ambitious—ior had he been that he would long since have made him- a Riaacaielinesadianarosie be pecuniarily indem- ie 2. Slave commissioners, clothed with power exceeding that:of local authorities, should be appoin' inspectors of all the provinces and have control over the highways and ave- nues through which slaves are transported, They should, further, be empowered to arrest slave-traders and seize their goods and chattels and make use of the samo to defray the expenses of equipping expeditions to return the liberated slaves their homes, an undertaking never yet attempted by the ptian government, These commissioners should be men oi sterling qualities, men that could resist with iron firmness the oribery to which they must sureiy be exposed. 3 ‘The countries suffering from slave robbery should be placed under the protection of other powers and permanent governments be estab- lished. Coolies could be secured to organize the necessary military. 4, All slave boys, wherever found in the hands of traders or of masters, should be bought oif (though this might look like setuing a premium on the traffic), educated in Christian schools and then sent back to their original homes to improve their own people, In order to improve the present condition of the Egyptian provinced it would be necessary uot only to cut off all the sources of the slave trade but to close its outlets. This could not be accom- plished without compelling the wealthy to dis- charge their slaves and use hired domestics in their stead, an example which should first be given by pachas and beys. To them this would be an ex- pensive step to take, as they would naturaily have to support the aged, and as their slaves, except in rare instances, would be unwilling to leave them. A meaus of immense progress, in my estimation, would be the introduction of @ law’ entitling ail slaves to wages. Such a law would gradually tend to abolish the custom of filing the houses with slaves, Labor, too, would then be expected of the hirelings, and labor is the magic wand at whose signal alone Egyptian indolence, sluggishness aud torpor shall vanish. In no other way can influence be exercised or anything be obtained from tne Viceroy. Numerous deputations of pbilantrbopists have waited upon that Prince whenever he came to Europe, but to no effect. The erroneous idea that tue ruier of Egypt must be a despot par excellence has become general. Few of these philanthropists know how little able he is to do anything for them. He may give orders, but where are those who will execute them and execute them in @ proper manner? Every now and then a spasmodic attempt at re- form is made. For instance, all the boats coming down the White Nile may, especially at Khartoum, be all at once confiscated, just for the purpose of feigning zeal before the Europeans who chance to be present. Such occasions remind one of tne old adage—“It never rains but it pours.’ The most flagrant injustice is then committed against innocent parties. Mohammedan women and children who happen to be somewhat dark are seized as siuves, and officials, high and low, till their pockets. I myself have suffered in this way. I could not prevent their laying hold of and fetter- ing the wife and child of my own servant, a thing which, I have not the least doubt, was done to de- ceive me, as they hoped I would make marvellous reports at Cairo respecting the watchiuiness and energy of the Khartoum local government. I had to apply to.the Minister, Sheriie Pacha, for pro- tection, and in order to obtain redress lor the poor servant | was obliged to take his family to Cairo, While these trumperies are going on at the Nile stations the slave caravans crowd as ever the high- ways trom Kordofar and Dar Fur to Dongoia and Suit, as well as from Abyssinia, through Galiabat, to the Red Sea. At ail events the steps taken to suppress the trade at the White Nile (which trade is comparatively insignificant) act as a direct pre- mium on the heavy traitic in Dar Fur. The Dar Fur trade I fae be completely cut off at its sole terminus, Suit, though it would ree hin- der Egyptian commerce. Dar Fur, which is the Atrican Bokhara, the stronghold of the most famatt- cal Islam, should be annexed by Egypt. The Khe- dive is not altogether averse to such an enterprise, thoagh it would require a serious and expensive war, with no prospect of compensating gain. As for Egypt sending Ciera into the negro countries of Bahr-el-Ghazal, it is an awful mis- take. To say nothing of Sir Samuel Baker's un- fortunate expedition, which has cost up to the resent £400,! I may state that I visited an Beyptan camp (black soldiers and Turkish Bachi- bazouks) on the Bachr-el-Ghazal, which 1 found in great distre: almost Nem dir s alter they had consumed ell the eatables in the environs, The officers were professional slave-traders, and, strange to say, at Khartoum, owing to Baker’s presence in Gondokoro, all slaves were confiscated, converted into soldiers and made to divide the ‘women and children among themselves. ‘The best the Viceroy can do with these negro countries is to let them alone, ed are not productive, and even if they were their distance from navigable streams is too great to admit of the exportation of less valuable than ivory. could say @ great deal more on the subject; but let this suffice for to-day. Imay stili add, however, that all that humanitarians and book-writers may argue in their studies about this thing will not benefit the slaves. Experience in those countries proves this beyond the shadow of adoubt, Intelli- gent co-operation on the part of strong govern- ments is absolutely necessary. If this intormation may in any way help the New YorE HERALD to fire in the great American public the noble sentiment that would extend your liberty and its consequent light to the naturally fertile and beautiful but systematically impoverished and degraded Afri- cap Continént, and above all to the pining re- mainder of that long fettered class which the ignorance of the race in power has striven for centuries to bestialize, shall deem myself abundantly rewarded. THE PENNSYLVANIA “OLD MA’ A Newarker Has Something to Say About Him. A correspondent of the Newark (N. J.) Journal sends a communication on the subject of the old gentleman of Delaware Water Gap, agea one hun- dred and fifteen years, an interview with whom was recently given in the HERALD. The writer saysi—, In my boyhood I was well acquainted with him, his two sons and several grandsons, and have stopped several nights at his house, as also at the houses of his sons and grandsons. I had a great deal of satisfaction in dealing with tiem, they being from the oldest to the Bete be staunch, honorable men, and good, sound democrats, The old gentleman lived some six miles from Water Gap, near a place in Monroe county, Pa., known as, Shawnee, on the line of the Delaware River. He had & good property of his own. One of his sons, John Labar, lived in Pa- haquarry township, Warren county, N. J., which {8 about one and a quarter miies’ from his father’s place, John had four sons—John D., Moses, Daniel and Samuel, the latter of whom I went to school with. Another sonof the centenarian lived in Middle Smithfield township, Monroe county, and had three sons—Henry M., Charles and John. Henry was Judge of the Courtin Pike county, Penn- syivania, for several years, and was also @ very successiul mercantile man at Bushkiil, Pike county, Pa. I never heard of any of the family doinga mean, low act. They were descended from French parentage. The man Vancampen, who is spoken of in the HERALD as accompanying the old geitieman on his fishing tour, was Abraham Vancampen, with whom and his sons and grandsons | was personally acquainted. They lived aiong the Delaware River in Pahaquarry township, Warren county, N. J., which was always a true democratic county. They were all warm friends of mine, and many hours have we spent boating and swimming together on the Delaware River in Summer, when 1 was a boy. AN OLD SERVANT OF GENERAL WASTINGTON’S KILLED BY A FALLING TReE.—Basil Lea, the oldest colo! man in this county, being in his 100th year, was killed in the county while he was burning brush m ® new ground and near a tree some men felled with the axe.

New York, Jan. 31, 1873, To THE Epiror or THe HERALD:— The story of Mr. McDonnell’s experiences in his steerage passage across the Atlantic must have touched the hearts of thousands of your readers as an “ower-true tale,” and I felt happy to learn your determination to sift the matter thoronghly, and, if found to be true, touse your powerful in- fluence towards remedying the evils so ably laid before the public, I might, in corroboration of Mr McDonnell, speak of my own personal experience, just seven yeors ago, crossing in one of the same ‘line of steamers, the Pennsylvania, but will take a later date and another line of steamers—the Inman—to show that what your correspondent complains of ia neither accidental nor exceptional. On the 20th day of August last left uiverpool on board the City of uimerick for New York. The first step taken by the steerage steward, who has the appointing of the berths, was toselect the vest clad passengers—those who, from appearances, Were most ‘likely to ‘bleed ;"’ 1. e., fee, said steward fora change of accommodation—and conduct them (your humble servant included) to a berth room where there was accommodation, that is, two tiers of bunks for 260 passengers, without screen or par- tition throughout the entire length and breadth thereof. This vast bedroom was not fully occupied on this occasion, for which Iwas truly thank/ul. Bat it had the desired etfect somewhat. Two out of the number changed their tickets for cabin, and several others, after ‘coming down’ to the steward, got changed toa more desirable location, When we reached Queenstown about two hun- dred passengers came on board, when still more berths were found by the elastic steward for those who chose to “come down.” The remainder were huddled into my apartments. Each tier of bunks contained accommodation for twenty per- sons—ten deep, laying head to head, two layers deep, witha ponmace vay, three feet wide between the tlers. When I state that on the same level and on the same tier with myself there laid a married couple, two young Irish wld about seventeen and twenty years of age, and two single men, it must be admitted that if there was room plenty—which was not of the free will, but misfortune of the shipping com PaAT, who had not been able to se- cure passengers to fill every one of the twenty bunks on that tier—there was not the slightest attempt to meet the ordinary requirements of de- cency or personal comtort, There was no table at which the passengers could eat their meals, and no sitting accommoda- tion for the passengers in that part of the ship. Men, weak women and little children had to eat what was provided for them standing or jump into tacir bunks to do so. So far as the food of the steerage passengers is concerned, the statement that they are served with meat equa! in quality with the cabin passen- gers, reaas Pe) pl oa Taking a lesson {rom that best of ail human teachers—experience—I made an arrangement with one of the petty ofl- cers to feed from what was served at his table, and, therefore, did not rely upon the boasted steerage bill of fare. I think if one of your attach¢és could be inducea to forego his personal comforts, as did your great and world-renowned Stanley, for a brief space of time, and, unheralded, take one trip on any one of the many ocean steamers, he would produce evi- dences of the miseries endured by poor people coming to these shores many times more out- rageous than those so ably stated by your corre- spondent, McDonnell. I earnestly trust that you will not let the mat- ter drop, but that you will investigate it until the truth of his statement is clearly shown, and agi- tate for an alteration of our international law which allows such things. Yours, &. EN. A Letter from the “Amateur Emigrant”— Some Timely Suggestions. To THE EpiTor OF THE HERALD:— Sim—I have read with interest the correspond- ence which you have published on the above sub- ject. Itis a subject which, as you know, I have before investigated, and which, as the correspond- ent of an English journal devoted expressly to emigration and the interests of the emigrant, I thank you for taking up. The letters of “Observer” have been very valuable, but on one point I must join issue with him. My conclusions are derived from a careful study and from practical experience and investigation. A voyage ucross the Atlantic in the steerage. cannot in the nature of things ever be luxurious, but much can be done to better the present condition of the steerage and 80 indirectly increase emigration to these shores. “Observer” fears that any change in the system by which the steerage is at present governed wiil increase the price of p: re and discourage emi- gration. Such stories of sufferings and discomforts as we have lately heard will discourage Solr eney and the companies to which they refer will sutter jar more pecuniarily than if they expended a few hundred pounds per annum in making the steerage passage more comfortable; and with all due deter- ence to “Observer” they can thoroughly afford to do so, without in the least increasing the price of passage. The steerage passenger is the most val- uable article of trafic brought across the Atlantic. With the present low freights the returns of many of the steamship companies for last esa | would ex- hibit a deficit but for the poor on ised emigrant. ‘The numoer of saloon passengers that a steamship can carry is limitea, the space that they occupy is very great, very many hands are required to admin- ister to their wants, the commissariat is luxurious and expensive, the saloons and state rooms have been fitted up at aheavy cost. Taking all these things into consideration, it is no wonder that we find the “White Star” line is about to raise the price of a saloon passage from $80 to $100. But the steerage passenger ? Many hundreds can be brought over atonce. At the most, halfa dozen stewards will attend (?) te a thousand passengers their cuisine, if wholesome, is not luxurious, and, the expense ranges from $1 60 to $3 per head for the orgs. Their berths and fittings are not costly. That the steerage passenger is valuable any one who has seen the frantic competition at Glasgow, Liverpool and Queenstown for the poy of the inten emigrant will readily understan Even on this side we find low boarding houses glaring in paint, “Branch office of’ such and such a line, and other disreputable agencies. And so I contend that the ateamshi| ig ey can easil; afford to add to the comforts of the emigrants. shall be glad to hear of the one that first institutes reforms.

Thomas Bennett, of 774 Second avenue, appeared in Court and charged a young man named John Donovan with having robbed him of a watch worth $60 and $5 in cash.

GAMBLING IN SIAM.—The Révue Maritime et Colo- niale contains a rary amusing series of papers by Lieutenant Brossard de Corbigny. F. N., entitled “De Saigon & Bangkok,” from which we glean the foliowing sketch of Asiatic society:—Gambiing is carried on to a fearful extent in the kingdom of Siam, and the royal exchequer derives considera- ble profit trom the licensed gaming houses estab- lished in every part of the country. One of the fa- vorite Tineke consists in guessing the number of coins shoved at haphazard under an inverted cup; the teetotum is also in vogue; and, lastly, there are lotteries, which are drawn daily. All this kind of business is in the hands of cunning Chinese, partic- ularly expert in correcting the caprices of chance. When tie gambler has lost his all, suicide never occurs to him, a8 in Europe; but he will steal, or, as a last resource, sell himself for a slave to some mandarin willing to pay his debts, and clothe and feed him in return for some insignificant service. But, on the other hand, aman who has once sold himself can never hope to regain his liberty, for he cannot earn a farthingin any way. If be disilkes his master, he may try to find another disposed to pay the old one the amount of his debt; but that hap- pens very seldom, since the purchaser is generally a friend in good circumstances, Moreover, belore jan gives himself away in this manner he tries his luck to the last, so long as he possesses a Fag on his back. Our author relates the following char- acteristic anecdote:+An Annamite of Saigon, whom we will call A, happening to mect an oid friend of his, B, at Poom-Penh, 1s persuaded by him to visit a gambling house. They go in and try their luck. A soon wins @ respectable sum, while B loses all he has about lim. ‘To retrieve fortune he borrows A’s purse, but soon loses all its con- tents. ‘‘Well,” says A, “it’s ail over now, Jet us be of.” “Wait a bit’? replies the other, “Il try another stake; the croupier knows me and wiil give me credit.” So he enters upon a palaver with that functionary, who. at once writes a few words on @ bit of paper, which B signa, He then plays, but los?s, and quits the place with his friend. “What was your agreement with the croupier?” asks A. “You/ll ok on the folowing & rep! ~y B, dryly. And, indeed, on foulo wo suet Chinese call at A’s house, bind him hand and foot, and carry him oif im spite of his cries and efforts to in his liberty. His good friend B had sold him to, the croupier, and it was only a few months later he could regain his liberty through tha induence of a French resident at Saigon, The Cumberiand (Md.)

Germany Looks to Soutli America 1'T More Cotton, Tobacco, Coffee, Sugar, Tea and Silk. One Word Against the Horrors of the Coolig ‘Traffic and Two in Favor of Keeping German Emigrants at Home and Monopolizing the Products of south America by Free Chinese and Japanose Labor. {From the Voss Konigliche Zeitung.) It is @ lamentable fact that the progress of trade and industry does not in many cases go hard in hand with the interests of humanity, but that directly 1o the contrary, in the recklessness and determination of men to create great commercial interests, the moral groundwork of society ana the Obligations that should be imposed by the same au- thority are ruthleasly and contemptibly set aside, But this ts not to be consrdered an occasion for set- ting merchants and authorities in opposition; we have, rather, a case to make out wherein both the interests of the commonwealth and.trade are com- Promised, and ia which great injury is done to both. This is the question of ‘THR COOLIE TRADE, which subject seems to us to prove that our s0- called “great humanity” is’ as yet very doubtful. ‘Tae fraudulent trade in human fiesh has been carried on in Europe and South America by Cu- bans, Peruvians and others, and even now East African landowners and planters derive their greatest profit and maintain their positions by this same trafic. Weseo that these people are a deep disgrace to our civilization, if such term be admissible—terribly disgraceful—by which the free development of our trade is retarded and endan- gered, At the same time we see that in the splen- did countries of South America, so blessed by nature, through the corruption which the slave trade brings with it, discord and misgovernment are the penalties that to-day eurse their fruitful soll, which by extensive and comprehensive culti- vation, good management and free labor could command the commercial attention of the world, but isin a neglected, forsaken condition, as the deceived foreign laborers, the disgusted Asiatics, are constantly feeing back to their own countries. THESE ASIATICS, who enjoy greater liberty in their own country than in the land in which they are now treated as slaves, and where greater opportunitics are offered, will no longer consent to work in the cruel, disgraceful manner pecullar to South Ameri- can labor. In proporiion to the Chinese imported the number of home laborers is a hundred-fold larger. It isnot conjecture, but a fact, that slave labor, from first to last, is fraught with depravity and degradation. Has the South American laborer, by virtue of the clemency of the climate or the fruitfulness of the soil, become go idly inclined, so lost toexcitement and lowered by the constant activity before his eyes of the slave labor, that he has conceived a horror for work which he considers beneath him? It is among the class we here men- tion that the preponderating mass of home-born laborers are to be found, and thus in a great measure work is eae neglected, the lands are unproductive and the abliity to attend to busincss or enter into the activity of commercial life an ex- ception. The general suffering under the Coolie trade is therefore doubled. Behold the country in which the Coolie is robbed and ORUELLY DRIVEN TO DEATH, and you .see a land whose native ibor becomes effeminate and whose productiveness is constantly weakened, The last point, especially, is of the greatest importance to Europe inatime when economy is the chief power that moves us, while the multitude of our daily accessible needs—food, raiments, &c.—are all the time increasing in the cost of their production. How could we have stood the injustice so long but for the fact that in a great measure the United States have supplied them- selves and us with corn, cotton and tobacco? How, if atleast a snfall portion or South America also. had not supplied us with some cotton, tobacco, coffee, &c.? How, if her herds and flocks had not. suppHed us with meat, tallow and leather, which have so well paid our manufacturers? It is evi- dent that the emigration, which tends to make North America and @ part of South America pro- ductive, is and has always been a great blessing to us, and wijl so continue in case the present condi- tion of thifgs suffers no change for the worse. The raw products of North America are always worked by the people there to a great extent, and @ similar remark may be made in reference to Australia. Let England and Germany, for their own advantage, raise South America to the same level, We in Europe want more food, mere grain, more fruits, more meat, as well as more wool, cet- ton, raw silk and more material generaily tor manuiacture and export. The manulacture of the latter must give us the means of securing all the feod we require. ‘This fleeing to America may, perhaps, retard the development of the Eastern countries: but irom where else are we to obtain the additional wool we require? But that addl- tional cotton, and especially the increase in COFFEE, TOBACCO, SUGAR, TEA, RAW SILK, &c.—where is it to come from? The transatlantic countries, which at present supply most of the cotton, only want hands to. manufacture all they raise. We see that the United States, six years after the abolition of slavery, produce more cotton than they did before the war; every year there is an increase in the quaptity manufacttred at home, and soon the great staple will be exported from there in a man- ufactared state. Brazil will be next in production of allher neighbor colonies, consequent upon the emancipation of the slaves. The other tropical countries of South and Central America are, owing to the paucity and disposition of their inhabitants. and the Unequal divisions of their land, valueless as regards their products for export. ‘There are in these sparsely inhabited and thinly settled countries spaces of land twenty times larger than those now occupied which have not yet beem broken. In reality not one-twentieth of this valu- able and suitable land for the raising of cotyon is under cultivation. But the cultivation of these tropical plains is not likely to be readily accom- plished by Europeans. Probably ONLY AFRICANS AND CHINESE are adapted to the climate. But, in the first place, after the rueful experience of their race, it must not be lomg before they are free colonists; after the complete suppression of the slave trade and the greater facilities which would be offered by increased steam communication, they would arrive and remain of their own free will. Thrifty, active Chinamen would be ready to cross the seas by hundreds of thousands. Aye, in less than a de- cade @ million of these excellent colonists would be established in North or Central Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Central America, and __ willip to remain. Prudentekeen, skilfal and peaceable as they are, it must be apparent that both for themselves and the satisfactory meeting of the demands of the world upon their productions, and jor success in general, it should not be through all the meay- ness of African slavery. No; these Asiatic people must be free. The coolie trader has cightly esti- mated the necessity and iS pts of the Chinese laborer to till the South American soil, put for the manner and method by which he seeks to meet the requirements, the disgraceful TRAFFIC IN FLESH AND BLOOD, he dare expect nothing but condemaation from mankind, whose patience in the premises has been exhausted, Europe dare ne lenger suifer her in- dustry to be paralyzed by the practical exclusiou of Chinese labor from South America, There is but one simple, peaceful method of conducting the coolie business and making it void of evil conse- quences, and that is to permit the Chinese to go, and come, make and receive as they please, and give them a legal foundation and protection for the formation of colonies, HOW TO UTILIZE SOUTH AMERICAN PLAINS. In order to turn the tide of Chinese emigra- tion from various other sources in which it has hitherto flown to these lands it will be necessary to establish comp#hies and settlements im the various countries of South America, The capital need not be extremely large; $2,000,000 would be sufficient to import 10,000 persons and house, maipiain and instruct them until they co aid raise suticient product to begin exporting. The neces- sary territory, in flats of from twenty to forty square miles at various parts of cach of 'she States, will piace each company in possession Of,about two hundred miles without consideration, trom the States concerned, leaving them sole “ownership. ‘This land the company could parcel ont, again into plots of forty or eighty acres a8 hiowings at the cheapest possible rate. The cost ‘af tramsporta- tion and the necessary advance for ‘(he first year’s seed, &c., of about $200 per man, could be included, in the agreement. The company might caiculate on ten per cent on their advance: 4, opi! & provi- sion also of five per cent on the ‘sale ot all the prod- ucts of the settler which woul 4 be taken alter the crops were gathered, and after; all other expenses, as overian draught, shipring, &c., were paid.
