their children or kldnnp tho drunken
persons themselves and drag them
away. It Is easier and safer to kid
nap children when tho opportunity
presents Itself, and very young chil
dren sell best, as they arc not likely
to try to escape. Negritos are today
held in bondage, in considerable
numbers, In provinces like Zambalcs,
Pampanga, Tarlac, Pangasinan, and
Cagayan. Whllo they are not dis
played for sale In any market In
Pampanga, they can bo readily nego
tiated for in several different public
markets of that province, and If nono
happens to bo available at tho mo
ment the would-bo purchaser Is as
sured that tho supply In the moun
tains Is Inexhaustible and that his
needs can soon be met
Tho publication of my recent re
port on slavery and peonage in tho
Philippine Islands has caused con
sternation in many provinces. Some
slaves havo escaped and little effort
has been made to recapture them,
whllo others havo been voluntarily
set free by their masters, but in Pam-
van a a the trade still goes merrily on.
Negritos have been peddled around
the country adjacent to Manila like
carabaos or horses, and it is but a
short time slnco their purchasers
havo In some Instances refused to
glvo them up, stoutly asseverating
that they were their property. Now,
however, warned by experience, own
ers make no such claim, but advance
various more or less Ingenious ex
planatlpns of tho fact that they havo
Negritos in their possession and deny
that they aro slaves. Somo of them
insist that It is a Negrito custom to
kill orphan children, and that they
havo taken orphans out of kindness
In order to save their lives.
PERHAPS tho commonest procedure
of all is to claim that Negrito slaves
aro "adopted children" or "members
of tho family." In such cases Inves
tigation almost invariably shows that
thero has been no legal adoption;
tho owner has merely gone before a
priest and stated that ho or she will
bo a "foster" father or mother to tho
child. Tho child may or may not bo
baptized with the name of the owner.
Tiis is a chcan and casu method of
securing a slave and the child thus
"adopted" will be compelled to labor
for a lifetime without compensation,
or turned over for a consideration to
be similarly "adopted" by someone
else.
Other Filipinos who do not claim
that their Negrito slaves aro mem
bers of their families, find complete
Justification for purchasing them in
tho claim that they havo taken them
to Christianize and thus prevent their
going to Hell.
I wish this were tho worst, but tho
worst Is yet to come. Not only do the
Filipinos buy, sell and hold the wild
people as slaves, but Filipino children
have been kidnapped, or enticed from
their homes by other Filipinos, and
sold as slaves to their own kind.
Young girls by wholesale have been
sold outright to Chinese who pur
chased and kept them for immoral
purposes. They have been sold to
pimps, pandcrers, and keepers of
houses of prostitution and compelled
to enter upon lives of shame. Fili
pino children and young women have
been sold to Chinese who have taken
them to China. Qod only knows what
fate 'may have befallen thdm there.
In such cases the victims disappear
from these Islands, never to return.
By tho word slavery I mean tho
condition of a human being held as a
chattel and compelled to render serv
ice for which ho ts not paid.'
Peonage is tho condition of a por
son held In a state of modified servi
tude for debt. It Is vastly more com
mon in tho Philippines than Is actual
slavery, but tho two things run into
each other by Insensible gradations
and largo numbers of persons who
aro hero called peons would, In tho
United States, bo called slaves.
Peonage lies at the root of tho in
dustrial system of tho Philippines. A
very largo proportion of the house
servants and field laborers are en
couraged to run Into debt to their
employers and ore then retained in
Borvico under such conditions as to
make it wholly Impossible for them
over to pay up. In fact tho extortion
ate Interest charged on their debts is
in itself often greatly in excess of
their earnings, for tho "salaries" paid
them may not be more than threo or
four pesos ($1.50 to $2.00 gold) per
year, and are often not more than
one peso ($.50 gold) per month.
Against this wretched sum aro
charged their food, their clothing,
and tho value of any articles which
they may lose or break, and that of
any domestic animals which may die
while in their possession. A usual
rate of interest on the original debt
Is 10 per cent, a month and under
such conditions It constantly grows.
AS an instance of tho ingenuity and
perversity of a certain class of
Filipinos I may clto the fact that after
tho Legislature had passed an act de
signed to make it possible to punish
people who accepted large sums of
money in advance at tho time of their
employment with tho deliberate in
tention of promptly running away
and thus in effect robbing their em
ployers, advantage was taken of Its
jirovlBlons to invoko tho aid of the
courts In compelling Inmates of
houses of ill-fame, who were in debt
to the keepers of such resorts, to re
turn to lives of shnmo after they had
made their escape.
Why, it may well be asked, have
such conditions continued under
American rule? The story can be
briefly told. It was a long tlmo before
they wero known. Slavery proved
comparatively easy to check In the
territory inhabited by non-Christians
for tho simple reason that they were
too Ignorant to appeal to tho law, or
rather to take advantage of the ab
sence of any adequate law, and defy
the authorities; or because they were
so brutal and open in the taking,
keeping and selling of slaves that It
was feasible to deal with them effect
ively under tho provisions of the
Codlgo Penal relatlvo to Illegal deten
tlon. With the Christian Filipino
slaveholders, however, tho caso was
very different. Most of them know
what they wero about uncommonly
well. Practically without exception
they employed shrewd lawyers to do
fend them when prosecuted. It was
belloved at tho outset that they, too,
could be successfully dealt with under
tho Penal Code and somo two years
wero wasted on test cases, with tho
result that tho government finally lost
out In tho Supremo Court of tho
Philippine. Islands, the Court holding
that "there is no law applicable here,
cither of the United States or of the
Archipelago, punishing slavery as a
crime."
Tho necessity for legislation was
thus mado apparent and was called
to tho attention of tho Philippine
Commission both by mo end by tho
trial Judge in tho lower court. Tho
task of drafting tho necessary act was
turned over to a Filipino member of
the Commission. It was a difficult
and delicate task; how difficult and
how delicate, no one will appreciate
who has not attempted to steer clear
of both tho Scylla of unduo interfer
enco with parental authority in tho
matter of apprenticing children, and
tho Charybdls of actual slavery.
I finally becamo impatient at the
long-continued delay and drafted an
act myself. It was subsequently con
temptuously characterized as "an ill
disguised effort to introduco new leg'
lslatlon Into one of tho best codes in
existence." I daresay It left some
thing to be desired, theoretically, but
