BIT far the largest portion of sla-re dealing is done without violence by the natives in thr regular working of their socw I institutions. Slavery is a constit- uent element of native African society It was not introduced by African or American slave hunters. The native* everywhere think that it that pillar m their social fabric be removed the whole edifice will fall to the ground. In many sections slaves are tile reg- ular currency, in other* they are tbe only U>or to be found for certain kioda of work. They are very large- ly the. tjeaate of burden in a country deprived of horse* and carriages. WheM a person gets mck or dies, ur if any public calamity happens, somebody w accused of being the cause through, witchcraft, and someiiody is killed or sold into alavery. If a man suspects one uf his wives of adultery be frequently ly Hells her Car away. Any one convict- ed of a crime or any insolvent debt- or may be Hold by legu.1 action. Slav- ery takes tbe place of jails and peni- tentiaries. Children are valued not only as reproductions of one's self but as marketable property. Of all the slaves I have questioned not one of those who were enslaved by one uf these leinl methods ever conV plained aa having been wronged. Those who complained were tbuae who ha4 been k dnapped -or who were detain* ed by civilized people.
