[57] The average exports from the Island of Jamaica, omitting cotton, during the three epochs referred to--that of the slave trade, of slavery alone, and of freedom--for periods of five years, during the first two, and for the three years separately, in the last, will give a full view of this point: _Years of Exports._ _lbs.

[67] The West Indies as they were and are--_Edinburgh Review_, April, 1859.--The article said to be by Mr. C. Buxton. [68] The statement was made at a meeting which met to consider the evils of the Chinese and coolie system of immigration into the West Indies and Mauritius. It is not stated whether the amounts given are the whole production or only the exports. [69] The reader will remember that the Emancipation Act, of 1833, left the West India blacks in the relation of apprentices to their masters, but that the system worked so badly that total emancipation was declared in 1838. [70] They must refer to slavery in its later years, after the suppression of the slave trade. Previous to that event, the production of Jamaica was more than seventy-five per cent. greater than at present. CHAPTER XV.
