We have already alluded to the depressed
condition of Brazilian finances As efforts
are now being made to bring us into more
direct and Intimate commercial rcla-
hons with that empire, her financial situation
possesses at this time particular interest
The empire of Brazil has recently issued Co.
100000 vmilreis OF paper money, equal to
about $50, 700, 900. A defense of this policy
has just been issued by the Brazilian Min
istry. 1t is shown that the deficit of the
government at the close Of the financial year
1s77-7S was about $40, 0OO, 900. This has been
produced by expenditures on the railroads
and other works of internal Improvement
begun by the government, by protitless out
lays on wars and war materials, ex-
travagance by the government, and the
terrible drouth which has devastated almost
all the northern provinces. The government
is in debt all round-to the Imperial Bank
and to its soldiers and employees. The out
lays necessary to relieve the northern prov
inces may be judged from the fact that in
Ceara, one OF the wealthiest, the government
has to spend nearly $1,OOO,OOO a month to
keep the people alive. The paper money of
Brazil is already deprecated, and the new
Issue of irredeemable paper will make 1t
worse It Is evident that the Brazilian EN-
pire is in desperate straits, financially 1t
has been brought to this condition by reck- |
less efforts at progress. The difficulties of
the situation are much increased by the pecu-
Iiarity of the Brazilian fiscal system, under
which no tax is levied on real estate.
