IS BRAZIL A FERTILE COUNTRY?
There is a very generally received opinion,
in the United States and Europe that Brazil
is a wonderfully fertile region ; many persons, well-informed ones too, probably regard it as the richest land in the world.
There are plenty of authorities to support this
idea. Scores of travellers have described its
exhuberance in glowing terms: cyclopaedias
and school-geographies have pictured the
unbounded luxuriance of its forests and
prairies ; it is known to be the great colTeeits
producing country ot the world, and
sugar, cotton and tobacco have long figured
in commerce ; the Brazilians themselves are
thoroughiy convinced that the agricultural
resources of the empire are boundless, only
needing an influx of foreign labor to
develope them. In venturing a somewhat
diverse opinion I shall be regarded as a

SUGAR.
The lvistory of the sugar trade since 1878 has
been one oi gradual shrinkage in values. \ Although
the consumption has increased enormòusly, particularly in this country and Great Britain, the
supply has more than kept pace with the increased
demands. The great increase in the produetion of
beet sugar, caused principally by the artificial system of subsidizing, is responsible for the present
overstocked markets. Germany and Áustria are
the principal offenders — these countries heavily
taxing the consumers at home in order that those

.?^TllK Rio Nkws was establishéd under its present title
aud management 011 the ist of April. 1870, sueceeding the
British and American Mail. Althoúgh tlie stylc, title
and frequency oi issue were changed at the time of transfer, the designations of number and volume were continuei!
unbroken. At the bcginning of 1881 the stylc of the
publication was still further changed by an increase from
four tb eight pages, and a diminution in the size ot the
page.* This change not only largely increased lhe size oi
thc publication, but it added greatly to its conveniente for
office and reference use.
'
T
poiicy adopted by Thk Nkws at thc outset was that
of strict iiidependence and impartiality. The editors had
well-grounded cnnvictions 011 politica! and economic quêstions, and as they believed that ali such questions had a
direct or indiiect influence 011 commercial and financiai enterprises they decided to discuss them just as far as their
relative importnnce made it desirable. Í11 this line of policy
TiIkNbws has been successful even beyond alt expec-
city.
