sive echo in the South American republic.
The article to which we now daw special attention, and which appeared in an issue of El Nacional sobie months since, commences by drawing a paralleli between slavery acknowledgod sa such, and that mitigated form of it which under the name of " immigration" has for some time obtained in certain parts of South America. The Roman slave (cape El Nacional) was in a better con |dition than the Asiatic colonist, because
he was not condemned to su invariable course of labour; his prospects were consulted, his talent was made much of, and it was not unusual to find that he who was respected as a chattel was honor- ed in the world of latters by oven an arrO- gant and proud patriciate." The Nacional then refers to the difference which exists in the treatment of Chinese. It does not urge any gross cruelty, any violent in- fringement of personal rights, but rather bases its arguments upon the depressing nature of the conditions under which the Chinaman laboura It asserts that, although the engagement lasts for eight years at most, and that at the end of that period the "immigrant" is free to work where and for whom he likes, this return to absolute freedom of self-disposal is rathor a curse than a blessing and for the following reasons. In countries where slavery is an acknowledged institution the master for his own interest bestows s vertain amount of care upon his slave- just as a horse-is cared for-berangs by that means alone can he hope to obtain the greatest amount of labour from his hu man chattel.
