AGENTS ''Mm&Mmxmz Haiti, 4he Lairadl of fthe Lore iNTi:m-:sTix iwrrs ahopt tin: island that p.wm: sam has decently taken iwdkii his piio- techno' wing THE NAME Haiti moans "n land of mountains." An experi enced tnwcler In tho West Indies declares that "tlieso islands nro politically turbulent n exact pro portion to the rugosity of their physi cal contour." Apparently, then. Hai ti has a natural born right to the most revolutionary of them an. Mighty mountains, spouting flashing rivers from their heights, rlso from Its shores. Hut the Haltlen repub lic has a bettor record than tho neighbor with which It shares tho Is land. Since tho final separation of Haiti and San Domingo, DO years ago, Haiti has gono through only 10 rev olutions to San Domingo's GO. It Is surprising, in view of the shaky political conditions In the Illaclc Republic, that forolgn capital has shunned Haiti, except as exploit era havo talcen advantago of tho Hal tlan's passion for office holding and fondness for graft. Within a little moro than no years after tho Spanish settlement of Hnltl tho native Inhabitants had been vir tually exterminated. I)y tho treaty of Ityswlck In 1G07 Spain coded tho country (that Is, tho westorn part of HIspanlola) to Franco. The exter mination of, tho natives had already led to tho importation of blacks from Africa, and during tho seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Haiti be came n country of largo plantations owned by Kronch landholders and wot Iced by slaves. At tho beginning of tho French revolution tho popula tion was overwhelmingly black. In 1703 tho English Invaded Haiti. Tho French authorities offered freedom to nil slaves who would enroll them selves as soldiors m tho army of de fense In tho next year a decreo ab olishing slavery was published slav ery waB published. It wos lorgly duo to tho black soldiers that tho English were driven out. Halt! would bo, as an enthusiast describes It. "one of the most deslr I able places of abode In tho world" if the elements of desirability consisted solely In "the wonderful fertility of tho soil, the healthful climate, tho jonunblo distribution of rainfall, tho numerous rivers, tne vast plains niid valleys, tho gorgeous scenery and tho agricultural potentialities," Anoth er traveler's praise ot tho Haltlen landscape goes further Into details: "In the first place, it Is a never-ending surprise to find In tropic lati tudes so many different kinds of country. Try to Imagine n very mountainous region, so varying In al titude nnd rainfall and n the result ing climate and vegetation thnt as you rldo across it from Caribbean to Atlantic you pass through Hormudn, Arizona, tho foothills of tho Cnnn dlan Itocklcs nnd first class conven tional tropics resembling tho most luxuriant parts of the neighboring Antilles, Cuba and Porto Itlca. Hai ti Is ns surprisingly varied as thnt. One day for companions ho may hnvo pines and cedars and tho next, still riding north, by some lotltmlinnl magic be whisked a thousand miles south to follow n trail through cocoa and royal palms, ducking low-hanging clusters of bananas." Tho mineral wealth of tho country Is large, but exact scientific Informa tion Is lodged In the hands of mining companies, who nro nwating stnblo political conditions. Haiti is princi pally an agricultural country. Stick anything Into tho ground nnd It will grow. It Is hardly nn exaggeration to say thnt ono enn actually boo Plants grow. At any rnte, the plan tations are looked at rather than cul tivated by tho shiftless laborers. Tho heavy rains knock off tho coffco ber ries when they nro ripe, seed them, and tho result Is tho wonderful Jim- teles of coffeo bushes, whoso fecun dity Is nowhero olso equaled. Coffeo Is tho principnl crop. In- 4 & AJaMJ&l l'l Mil M'l IWI tleed, Hnltl suffers from too much coffee. Haiti is economically de pendent on tho coffe crop. It sup i'yps the bulk of the revenues of tho goernrnfcr,t nd tho menro donmnds jf the peasantry ot tho mountains ud valleys, whoso business It is chiefly that or the women and child ren to gntltor It and bring It to tho seaport towns on their heads and on the bncks of donkeys and horses. Virtually all tho Haltlen coffee hns been shipped to Europo, principally to aormimy nnd France. The Gor man market hns been lost and none gained to take Its pMco. Efforts havo been mndo In recent years to lntroduco Huitleu coffee Into the United Stntes; but notwithstanding Its excellent quality, tho American Importers will tnko llttlo of It. Voodoolsm, with all Its horrible, barbaric rites, still flourishes nmong tho people, and Its priests hnvo al ways exerted considerable- Infliionco on tho government. Hut notwith standing tho general lgnoranco of tho pcoplo, Haiti hns dovolopcd n considerable literature, written In French, tho official Inngungo of tho country, and some of it is of n high order. Hnltl has Its national he roes, of course; but of theso tho mur derous Uesnllues is hold in highest estcom. Tho lmmo of Tousanlnt roiivorture, n nnmo familiar to every American schoolboy, and ono which will live ns long ns history, Is almost forgotten In Haiti. A monument to Chrlstophc, a mu latto, who beenmo Ilnltl's first pres ident In 1S07 and later assumed tho royal tltlo of Henri I, "King of tho North," Ib tho great cltadol of La Ferrloro. Ho constructed It ot solid masonry on tho summit ot n moun tain 5000 feet high. Somo of the walls nro SO feet high ami 1C lcet foot thick. Tho vast fortress has many Bubtorrnncnn passages and so crot chambers, In which it is suppos ed that somo of his hoarded wealth Is still burled. In 184 12 nn oarthquako partially destroyor tho structure; but tho co lossal ruins still nttcst tho gigantic work of a hero nnd tho world won ders now how the work wns done nnd how tho material for tho con struction nnd tho nrmnment over got to tho top of tho moiintnln. Tho wholo enterprise Is clouded in mys tery and romnnco. Tho cltadol cov ers tho peak, dominates tho Biir roudlng country, can ho plainly scon from tho harbor of Capo Haltlen, and is frequently vlsltod by tourists.
