COUNTRY RIGHTLY NAMED THE LAND OF TO-MORROW.
The land of to-morrow has been applied to Brazil, but with no uncomplimentary meaning, for Brazil is fully awake and actively alive to her possibilities to-day, and manana, in this sense, means simply the dawn’ ing of a new and glorious to-morrow —the realisation of the plans and work of to-day. Opportunity is the parent of to-morrow, but the child of to-day, and in this sense, in her almost fabulous possibilities, '- in generous invitation and splendid rewards offered, Brazil is pre-eminent-ly the land' of to-day Brazil is a wonderland, and if the combined effort of all the business men was focused upon her alone for the next fifty years, there would still be money in it. Her population of 26 millions is more than the combined population of all the rest of South America; dier boundaries include almost three-fourths of that continent, and the wealth of her forests, mines and soil exceeds the richest of all the other nations of South America. The foundation of a world pojver exists in Brazil,and her citizens have a mighty desire to build an empire in the south as mighty and as prosperous as tfie United States is in the north.
