A circular from Mr. Smart is in part a follows: "Our main object are (11 to put down the silly social system (S. & 8. again) of "treating.

"Incredible a It may eem." cay James 8. Metcalfe, "a Christian and more or lea humane Impulse was the first cause of the Importation of Afri can slave to America. The Spanish and Portuguese conquc.ors of the new world carried their religion hand In hand with their swords. They found the natives easily subject to conver sion, but that they quickly succumbed to the rigor of the systematic and arduous labor so much needed In the cultivation of the new found lands. The native American could be taught to pray, hut If he were made to work hi soul one of the most valuable as sets In the discoveries of those dayr took its departure from his body and he could not be exhibited as a lire convert to the glory of God and the satisfaction of their meet Christian majesties The labor had to be had and the Portuguese, who knew most of the coasts of the world, bethought them of Africa and It benighted In habitant At that time the capture of lave on the coast of Africa was a comparatively eaay matter The coast tribe apprehended danger only from the Interior. Their weapons and met ods of defense were primitive and It was not a difficult undertaking for the slavers to approach the coast, sur round a village and capture its In habitants. As time went on and the African learned to know better what the approach of the white men's ships meant, the Guinea and Mozambique coasts became populated only by Euro pean slave dealers and their local al lle. The greater part of the natives had left the coast for the Interior. The white man followed them up the river as far as he coud go, and the African was forced yet farther Into the recesses of his continent, to places where the white slave dealer, on cmunt of dis tance, disease and the climate, could not penet.ate. This led to a new sys tem in the acquirement of slaves and the Introduction of a new feature In the trade the use of rum as a basis of barter for human bodies. Wherever the white msn has come In contact with savage races rum has proved the undoing of the latter. In Africa the demoralizing effect of liquor on the na tive was only equaled by his mad de sire for the fleeting happiness of In toxli atlon. For it he would wage war and sell not only his captives but hit own people, even his own kin. When the European slave traders found that slaves were not easily to be captured on the coact by their own exertion '.hey entered Into treaty with the na tive king for their supply and rum be came the principal medium of ex change. A sort of system was intro duced Into the business. On the coast at well-known and accessible points were erected Inclosures for the recep tion of sieves, and here dwelt the white and half-caste trader, close by their so-called 'factories.' ready to re ceive a caravan from the Interior or load a ship from the sea. In the early days of the slave trade It was the practice among the native rulers to sell Into slavery only criminals who had Infringed against the primitive laws of the tribes or unfortunates ac cused of witchcraft and prisoner cap tured in the more or leas legitimate wars among those petty rulers. But this failed to supply the steady demand from the coast. No slaves meant no rum and none of the cheap gewgaws dear to the savage heart. Wars and forays then began to be carried on simply for the sake of the captives to be secured. A favorite method was to approach stealthily in the night a peaceful vtilage, surround It and then set Are to the hut. As the native rushed out In terror those who resist ed rapture were killed, a well a were the children and the lrk and old peo ple who were not worth transporta tion to the coact. Those who had es caped the blessing of Immediate death were bound together In couple and either held for the arrival of the peri patetic slave trader or. If the capture bad been made by a regularly organ ised and equipped expedition from the i oaat. they were added to the collec tion of other unhappy creature se cured In similar fashion.

I differ with blm in that I believe that nil Christian, or rather Uiose holding church memh-r-shlp. should be prohibitionist from Christian principle, and that the law cuts no figure In the question.
