They would not work, not aving been bred to industrious habits. and each old slave that died was so much loss to the (nantity of labor to be obtained. Some of t e planters resorted to the expedient of inumrtingcooly labor and did very well. but a large number of owners did not do this, and estates on the island went to ruin fast. As time passed on it became more and more diffi- cult to obtain laborers. and the evil effect of this unusual idleness was seen in yearly decreasing imports. The negroes need not work to get food and a house~these can be had for nothing-~and the only reason why they work at all is that they may earn enough mone to dress in expensive and gaudy colore clothes. That is the only use they have for money.
