They manufacture the article m the same way as Euro 8, but not with so much attention, though with more than they formerly did. The atives pay more regard to cotton than 'to indigo. Many indigo-planters employ Euro ean assistants. I had a'great dislike to employing them, for the natives were always fu y su?icient, and always trustworthy, and'the more confidence therevas placed in them the more deserving they warrant it. The native labourers must be strictly loblred after and kept to their Work. '1 hey do not get through so much work as American slaves. There are from 600 to Europeans engaged as indigo manufacturers.
