The Hon. E. H. Stanley, M.P. for Lyme-Regis, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Hon. E. H. Stanley, M.P. for Lyme-Regis, 1850. Stanley...argued that the introduction of emigrants from Africa [to Barbados] could only meet the emergency by reducing the condition of the labourer to the level of slavery; that the African squadron had not answered its intent, and that no amount of armed force could put an end to a trade where one successful venture was sufficient to compensate for five failures. He urged that England owed a debt to the West Indies. Slavery at first was an English institution. England had abolished slavery, and had professed to compensate the owners for the emancipation of the slaves; but had given, so far as the West Indies were concerned, but £17, 000, 000, where the commissioners sent out had set down £43, 000, 000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
