? . THE WEST INDIES.
A nrrrlptlvp find Hlxtorlrnl Article-The
t in lire Territory ol- tun Hulled himrn.
The West Indies Is the collective name Riven
to that large number of islands lying In tlio
Atlantic, Ixaween the two great naturnl divi
lonsof tho American Continent, and extend
ing from the coast of Florida, in North Ame
rica, to that of Venezuela, In South America.
Adopting a clitssiuVailon indicated by nature,
geographers have divided these Wand? Into three
groups: First, the Lurayos or Bahamas; second,
the greater Antilles; and third, the leaner An
tilles. With the exception of tho more
northerly of tho Lucnyos. the Woxt India Islands
are all within the tropics. Tho Buha.ua group
consMs of several hundred inlands, most of
which arc of very insignificant size mere keys,
In fact, destituto of vegetation, and uninhabited.
This group lies on tho southeast coast of Flo
rida. The greater Antilles are the four large
Islands of Cuba, Ilayti, or Saint Domingo, Ja
maica, and 1'orto Kico; nnd the lesser Antilles
comprise all the small Islands extending from
Porto Kico to the (iulf of Parla, those lying
south of a given point in tho direction whence
the trndo winds blow being known us the Wind
ward Islands, and those to the north of that
point as the Leeward Islands. There is some
thing very striking in the geographical position
of the greater and lesser Antilles. Commencing
with Cuba, situated nt tho entrance of the Gulf
of Mexico, and terminating with Trinidad, oil
the southeastern coast of Venezuela, these
Islands describe an irregular curve completely
Inclosing, so to speak, the sparkling Caribbean
Sea, whose waves perpetually dance iu the glow
ing rays of a tropical sun, and whose bosom is
rarely swept by storms; Jamaica, however, forms
an exception. Lying Just within the curve, this
island is sheltered on the north by Cuba nnd on
the cast by Ilayti, while to tho south and west
her towering mountains look down grandly on
the bright and beautiful sea that washes her
coasts. In point of scenery and fertility these
islands, taken collectively, are not surpassed by
any other part of the world.
A HE A, MOUNTAINS, RIVERS, ETC.
The total urea of tho West Indies is computed
at Wi.O.'H) miles, being nearly equal to that of
Great Britain and Belgium taken together. Of
this area tho greater Antilles number 81,:i:J
miles, and the lesser Antilles nnd Bahamas
1 1,197 miles. Spain owns tho largest part of the
West Indies, her possessions there Cuba and
Porto Kico embracing 51,143 square miles. The
Dominican nnd Ilaytien republics divide be
tween them 27,00 miles. England bears sway
over 15.(533 miles: Franco holds 1013 miles; Hol
land, iKi'J miles; Denmark, 17 miles, and Sweden,
J5 miles. Tho largest of the islands is Cuba,
which is about 800 miles long, with a breadth
varying from 25 miles in its narrowest part, to
130 at its widest. Next comes Ilayti or St. Do
mingo, being about 400 miles in length, nnd from
40 miles w ide near its cu.-tern extremity to 135
miles at its centre. The third in the list iu point
of size is Jamaica, which is 10 miles long, with
an average breadth of 40 miles. I'orto Kico
follows, its breadth being about 100 miles, with
an almost uniform breadth the shape of the
island being that of a parallelogram of about
38 miles. Trinidad, a splendid island full of
natural wealth, is 50 miles long, and has an
average breadth of about 33 miles. The rest of
the islands are small, numbers of them being
nothing better than keys, or sand banks, and
others varying in length from 10 to 25 miles, and
in breadth from 3 to 10 miles.
All the large islands, and many of the small
ones, are extremely mountainous, the mountains
in some places rising to a height of several thou
sand feet above the level of the sea. They form,
generally, a continuous chain, running through
the centre of the islands, iu the direction of the
cast and west, nnd are, most of them, wooded to
their very summits. The lower ranges of hills,,
branching off from the main range, are also
thickly wooded. Most of the islands arc abun
dantly watered, Innumerable springs gushing
from the sides of mountain nnd hill in every direc
tion; but there are few large rivers, and of these
not more than lour or five are navigable for any
considerable distance from their mouths, except
by small, Hat-bottomed boats. Jamaica boasts
the loftiest and grandest mountains, its cele
brated Blue Mountain peak lilting its head,
almost continually enveloped in fleecy clouds,
more than 8000 feet above the level of the sea;
Ilayti the finest rivers, among which are the
Ynqiic, the Yuna, and the Artibonitc, all splendid
streams; and Cuba the most fertile plains. The
coasts on the south side of tho islauds are gene
rally low and swampy, and on tho north side
rocky and bold; but everywhere they present
numerous indentations, affording many snug
havens, and several capacious and secure har
bors, some of which are not surpassed by any of
the finest harbors in other parts of the world,
there being four or five iu which tho combined
navies of Europe might rido in safety.
PRODUCTIONS AND RESOURCES.
In no part of the world is there a greater va
riety of valuable vegetable productions than is to
be found In the West Indies. First in the list of
those possessing a commercial importance stands
the sugar-cane, for tho cultivation of which fully
nine-tenths of all the low-lying lands areadmiru
rably adapted. Next coines coffee, the plant
flourishing in all the hilly and mountainous dis
tricts, and yielding largo crops annually of the
valuable berry. Pimento or allspice indige
nous to the Island of Jamaica alone may be
had in abundance simply for the trouble of ga
thering, the tree growing wild In most parts of
the country. Ginger, too, of the finest quality,
is produced in abundance at o very trilling out
lay of labor, as is also nrrow-root of the very
best description. Tobacco, which was found by
Columbus in use among the aborigines, is sue
cesslully cultivated iu most of the islands. Cot
ton grows spontaneously, and Is a perennial
plant, the tree bearing abundantly, even in poor
soils, and tho staple of the article being gene
rally both line and strong. The indigo plant
is a common weed in tho plains, and the cocoa
tree flourishes iu tho uplands. Then there are
the cabinet woods, and dye-woods so highly
prized both in this country and Europe the
brilliant fustic, the ruddy logwood, the rich
grained mahogany, the fragrant cedar, the deli
cute rosewood, the gorgeous yecca, and others
too numerous for mention hero. As to the
fruits and vegetables, it would require a small
volume to describe, their variety and their nv-
ccllencc. Some of the former arc well known
in this country, such us tho pineapple, the
orange, the shaddock, and'the banana, but tho
finest varieties of tho iincupplo nre never ex
ported, being too delicate to keep beyond throe
or four days, and tho flavor ol tho imported
orange is never equal to that of the freshly
galliered fruit. There nre others, however, "of
the rarest excellence, which can be enjoyed only
in tho plnco where they are grown, their perish
able nature hot admitting of their being trans
ported to nny distance. Such are tho luscious
neesberry; the juicy mango; the aromatic guava;
the peach-like cherc-nioyd; tho unripe cocoa
nut, with its limpid "milk" and delicate, jelly
like pulp; and the flavorous granadillo, whoso
blossom is that queen of flowers, tho beautifully
variegated, exquisitely tinted grandifloru. Tho
list ol field and garden vegetables includes
nearly nil tho kinds successfully cultivated in
tho more southerly parts of tho North temperato
y.one, besides a number peculiar to tho tropics.
Maize grows well In the plulus, and the swampy
districts produce rice of a superior quality.
Edible roots, such us yams nnd cocoas, are uni
versally cultivated, and give un abundant yield.
As to tho mineral resources, these are great,'
but ns yet little has been done toward developing
them on a scale commensurate with their im
portance. In many parts of tho Island of
Jamaica there are unmistakable indications of
large deposits of copper oro. Tho mountains in
tho southeastern part of Cuba are rich in copper,
us bus been satisfactorily proved by tho largo,
quantities of valuable ore every year taken out
of tho famous Cobro Mines of that island. But
in point of mineral wealth the luilm belongs to
the Island of Ilayti, of which It has been said
that "if we may give full credence to the uni-'
' versa! statements of writers upon this branch
(uiintrul rcbourccs), it pre6cuu itself before us
with the aspect of another California." Dhr'rig
tho period of the r,nry Spanish jurwession, t h;i
island yielded n'x abundance of the lireeiom
metals. According to tho historian 1 (errant,
there was at tta.t time a mint at Buenaventura,
which colnjd from f 225,000 to 230,0)0 per
annum; Sjvl Uviedo testifies that the Gov
ernment royalty of one-fifth yielded annually
f6,000.,000 to the National treasury. This refers
to tlU; but specimens of rich silver ore have
aliio licen found in several parts of the island,
'And In the Southeastern Division there is an ex
tensive copper region which has been pro
nounced by competent scientific authority, after
careful survey, equally rich in promise with the
celebrated copper district of tho south side of
Cuba. Immense beds of coal have been dis
covered in tho Bay of Samana; rock salt is found
in large quantities on tho south coast; niurbio Is
plentiful, and native iron, lead, nickel, anti
mony, bismuth, r.inc, cinnabar, nnd cobalt must
be added to the list. There can bo no doubt
that when stable government shall have suc
ceeded in Ilayti to the era of incessant political
revolutions, thus ullording free scope to enter
prise, and security to capital, this island will
yield an amount of mineral treasures far ex
ceeding the returns it gave to the rude and
fitful mining operations of its first European
masters.
POPULATION.
The aboriginal inhabitants of the West Indie?,
amounting, at the period of tho discovery, to
about 1,500,000, have all disappeared, with the
exception of a handful of Caribs in the Island
of St. Vincent, descendants of the tribo that, was
found living in that island and some of the
neighboring ones w hen they were first visited
by the Spaniards. Spanish oppression and
cruelty did their work so ellcctually that in less
than a century from the time when Europeans
began to settle in the islands, the aborigines bad
been virtually exterminated. The present popu
lation of the West Indies, according to the most
recent returns, Is, iu round numbers, 3,500,000.
Of this Cuba nnd Pol io Kico have between them
1,480,000: Jamaica lias 450,000; Ilayti, 800,000;
and the Bahamas and the lesser Antilles number
iTO.OOO. The Island of llarhadocs is the most
populous of all the Antilles, being, indeed, quite
us densely peopled as China. Only 21 lailes
long by 14 in breadth, it lias n population, ac
cording to the census of 1801, of 132,727, or
about one thousand inhabitants to the square
mile. From 1851 to 1801, after allowing for
losses from nn epidemic of cholera, the popula
tion increased by nearly 40,000 souls. This little
island affords perhaps tho most remarkable in
stance in the world of population pressing upon
the means of subsistence, for production lias
been pushed in Burbadoes to its utmost limits,
almost every acre of land In the island being
under cultivation, while of additional mouths to
feed "the cry is still thev come."
The population in ail the islauds is made up of
whites, browns (or people of mixed blood), uud
blacks. With the exception of Cuba and I'orto
Kico, the blacks everywhere greatly outnumber
the other two classes, tiie average proportion
being as follows: Whites, 4 per cent.; colored,
10 jut cent.; blacks. per cent. Thus, in the
Island of Jamaica, the last census taken in 1801
gives 14.000 whites and Ki.C(H) colored people,
against 354,000 blacks. In Culm the case is dif
ferent, the whites preponderating over blicks
and colored together. According to the census
of that island, taken in 18(il, the total popula
tion was 1,400.000. ot which number 704.000
were whites, 225.000 free persons of color, and
371, 000 slaves. The liaytien nationality is com
posed entirely of blaeks'and inulattoes,"the only
whites in the country being foreigners and the
consular representatives ot foreign powers; nnd
here the proportion of the coloied people to the
blacks is even smaller than in the Island of
Jamaica. This is, however, reversed in the
neighboring republic of Santo Domingo, In
which there are still many of Spanish descent,
and the people of mixed " blood largely exceed
the blacks in number.
SOCIAL CONDITION.
The state of society in the West Indies is very
peculiar, us might be expected from their past
as well as their most recent history. Its most
striking feature is its heterogeneous character.
Such a mixture of blood ns we have iu the
Antilles is perhaps nowhere else to be found to
the snme extent on the face of the globe. The
Latin race, tho Anglo-feuxon, tho Teutonic, the
Celtic, the Scandinavian, the African, the Mon
golian, and the Hindoo arc all represented in
their purity; besides which there are large num
bers in whoso veins the blood of two or more
of these various races commingle iu different
degrees. The introduction of Chinese and
Hindoos In the West Indies is of comparatively
recent date; but many of these immigrants of
both races have married among the black and
the colored classes, have become converted to
Christianity, and have adopted the islands as
their home. That part ol the population which
is of Africau descent by which is to bo under
stood the people ol African-European blood ns
well as the blacks is, us we have already seen,
by far tho most numerous; but the dominant
race is the Caucasian, which here, as elsewhere,
asserts and maintains superiority over the other
races by virtue of its higher intelligence and
its indomitable energy. With the siugle excep
tion of Ilayti, the white man rules everywhere
in the West Indies. The Governorships of the
different colonies arc all held by whites. A few
men of mixed blood are here and there to bo
found on the bench, but, these excepted, tho
judiciary and magistracy are white, and tho
sumo remark will apply to the different legisla
tive bodies, where such exist. Most of the pulpits
are filled by clergymen of fair complexion and
unmixed blood. The principal merchants are
chiefly whites, the largo landed proprietors aro
nearly all whites, and so aro most of those who
practise law and medicine. Next to the whites,
in point of social standing, come the colored
people, as distinguished lrom tho blacks. Of
late years education lias done u great deal for
this class, among whom are to lie found a goodly
and increasing number of men who have
achieved distinction nt, some of tho first uni
versities of Europe. The colored people
are gradually worki: g their way, in the
Britisli colonies e: j eeially, into all those
departments of public and profes
sional, life from which, not much
more than a quarter ol a century ago, they were
jealously and rigidly excluded, and are making
good their claims to a !;ir share of the honors
and emoluments of the public service. The
blacks, thanks to slau-ry, arc everywhere the
lowest iu the social n ale, the "hewers of wood
and drawers of water-' being everywhere and
almost exclusively of the African race. In tho
islands where slavery dill exists, viz., Cuba and
Porto Kico, their condition is deplorable; and in
the free islands, embracing all the other parts of
the West Indies, they have not yet recovered
from tho blighting cliect of (lie accursed system,
although they nre steaiiily marching forward iu
tho path of improvement. Among the Ilaytien
blacks, however, are to be found a number
of very superior men, possessing rare talents,
highly cultivated. with polished man
ners fitting th.'.u to shine in the
highest circles of soe'.i ;y. In all the free islands
popular education is in a very backward state,
nud the Intelligence of the masses is conse
quently much below ; ir, comparatively few of
tliem being able to read, and fewer still to write.

The other misconception and this arises froui
the first-named one Is that no civilization
worthy of the name Is to bo found among tho
native population of tho Antilles. It will he
seen that both of these assertions are wide of the
truth. The Hacks, numerically strong, ure o-
daily and politically of but small account ni yet;
and although the "barbarism of slavery'- still
makes itself felt more or less in every walk of
life, In every institution of society, the purifying
and cluvHtmg influences peculiar to Christian
civilization are actively nnd successfully at work,
sensibly ameliorating the condition of the whole
people.
INDUSTRY AMI COMMERCE.
Industry In the West Indies Is by no means so
multiform as it Is In most other parts of the
civilized world, being devoted principally to the
production of a few staple articles of commerce.
Of these sugar takes tiie precedence, next comas
concc, then rum, and lastly tobacco. iTho
Spanish coloniss stand first in tho production of
sugar, JIaytl in coflee, tho Britisli colonies, espe
cially Jamaica, in rum, and Cuba in tobacco.
Besides these staples, the West Indies export
large quantities of molasses, of five
woods and cabinet woods, nnd a number" of
minor articles, such ns pimento, ginger, arrow
root, cocoa, beeswax, and honey. Prcvioas to
the emancipation of the slaves', in 18.'W the
Britisli colonies were far in advance of all the
others In the raising of both sugar and coffee;
but that event led to the abandonment of a largo
number of plantations, their proprietors not
having sufficient capital to work them profitably
under the new system of labor inaugurated by
freedom, nnd emancipation being tollowod in
less than eight years by the triumph of the free
trade policy in England, whereby the diflorcn
tial duties that had theretofore operated
ns a protection to the British
colonial producer against his forei"n
competitor were abolished. Cuba and I'orto
Kico, their labor force largely recruited every
year by means of the transatlantic African slave
tradc.sliot ahead of their old rivals, especially in
the production of sugar, thereby reversing the
former relative position of affairs. Fifty rears
ngo. for example, Cuba exported lOO.OOO.mK)
pounds of sugar, and Jamaica nearly double that
quantity; to-day tho hitter exports only 00,000,000
pounds a year, while tho former ships annually
over 400,000,000 pounds. During tho hulf-ceu-tury
the sugar production of Jamaica has fallen
off full two-thirds, while that of Cuba has been
more than quadrupled. It must not be supposed,
however, that the free Islands arc retrograding
industrially, or that there is truth in the oft
rcpeatcd statement, maliciously circulated by
men of pro-slavery sentiments, that the emanci
pated negroes cannot be induced to work. The
great bulk of the people work for themselves on
their own holdings work hard and steadily too;
nnd if exports hnve fallen off, productions for
domestic consumption have largely increased, to
the improved comfort and the greater happiness
of the masses. . As a consequence of tho altered
state of tilings in tho British Antlllean posses
sions brought about by emancipation, and of the
creation of a peasant proprietary, wealth is more
generally diffused now tliau was the case iu the
duvs of slavery.
The products of the British colonies arc nearly
all exported to England; those of the French
colonics to France; those of the Spanish colonies
principally to Spain, the United States, and
England: " and those of Ilayti to the United
States, France, nnd Germany." Tho West Indies
have no manufactures of fabrics or hardware,
being dependent for these upon European coun
tries, uud to some extent, especially us regards
agricultural implements, upon the L'nited States,
from which latter too they import large quanti
ties of flour, butter, lard, cheese, pork, beef,
candles, and lumber. The import trade of the
British Islands with the Slates has been steadily
increasing for several years past, keeping regu
lar pace with the improving condition, with re
spect to material wealth, of the emancipated
class, a large proportion of the products of whose
independent industry finds its way to this coun
t y, While nearly nil the sugar and rum
1 :oduced in these colonies on the large
plantations by hired labor Is seut to England,
most of the coffee raised by the small settlers
for themselves is shipped to tho United States.
The exports from Cuba to the United States,
consisting principally of sugar, molasses, and
manufactured tobacco, are immense, statistical
returns showing that from the throe principal
ports of shipment, viz., Cardenas, Matanas,
and Trinidad do Cuba, they amount in value to
about 17,000,000 a year; but the imports from
the States nre insignificant in comparison with
the exports hither, a result which is owing to
the restrictive commercial policy of Spain
toward that island, which is compelled to take
articles from the mother country which slio
might obtain elsewhere at cheaper rates and of
better quality, and this not to protect the in
dustry of the island, but simply to benefit the
royal treasury. The duty in Cuba on United
States flour, for example, is so high per
barrel as to be in fact prohibitory.' These re
marks apply to Porto Kico likewise.
TI1H PAST AND THE FUTURE.
As there is no fairer region on the face of God's
earth tliau the West Indies, so no part of thj
world has been more terribly cursed by the vil
lainy of man. Time was, indeed,. when so uni
versal was the reign of injustice, tyranny, and
cruelty iu the Caribbean, ami so complete nnd
revolting the demoralization of society iu all
the colonies, that the words of the poet might
have been appropriately applied:
"Here every prospoct pleases.
And only uian is vile." ,
The great banc of the Antilles has been negro
slavery, in some of them, however, an autidolo
has been applied, whose effects have beeu so far
of the most satisfactory character; uud in those
parts where the poison still actively works there
Is ground f jr hope that curative ageucies will
soon be iu full operation. With shivery over
thrown in Cuba uud Porto Kico, tho West In
dies, thereby completely delivered from the
terrible curse which followed in the wake of thu
first slave ship that crossed tho Atlantic more
than three centuries ago, will at once enter upon
a new career. What Is likely to bo their destiuy?
Cuba, the most important island of them nil,
cannot, if delivered from tho Spanish yoke,
stand nlone. Confederation will be forced
upon her by the necessities of her new positiou;
and independence will thus become the stepping-stone
to incorporation with tho United
States, the only power to which she can look
for genuine sympathy and practical aid in
establishing a "government that shall be at
once free, orderly, and progressive. ilayti.
weak in her isolation, and a prey to internal
dissensions and civil war, is already feeling
her wav towards annexation to this country,
as the only means of saving that republican
form of government w hich her people love so
well, but which they have been unable to work
out successfully for themselves, as well us ot
developing her immense resources. Witli Cubu
and llavti integral parts of the American Union,
the people of the other islands w ill soon perceive
it to be their interest to exchange the dependent
condition of colonists for citizenship in a gooj
commonwealth; and that point once reached,
nothing short of annexation will satisfy their
aspirations. Tho "signs of the times" clearly
indicate that tho age of colonies is drawing to a
close. As far as tho Western Hemisphere is
concerned, through the wretched management
of Spain they have ceased to exist almost
throughout tho length and breadth of the south
ern half of this continent. Other and better
agencies will bring the colonial system to an end
in the northern half of the continent also, and
tho islands adjacent thereto, as well as in all th.i
tropical regions of tho New World, it Is not
improbable thut before the rising generation
shall have passed away, tho Stars and Stripes
will bo floating over the whole of tho West In
dies. A'. Y. Triliunc. j
