leled in modern times for its vast pro-
portions and for the profuse expendi-
ture of blood and treasure which it en-
tailed" Surely, Brazil may take this as
a warning to look ahead, as an admon-
ition for her to set her house in order,
avoiding unnecessary expenditure,
which will only increase the possibility
of trouble during the coming emanci-
patton. AS contrary to the word,
quoted above, and curiously enough
in the number of the same journal are
Mr. Warnings words in his rosy article
on Brazil and Her Railways" in
which he says: ''In the opinion of
those best able to Judge the abolition
of slavery will not be sudden. Nor is
it thought that there is any probability
that its collapse will endanger the fu-
ture of Brazil by social convulsion,
civil wal, or lack of labor How
strangely the last words read beside
the following, taken out of leading
article in the liberal and quasi govern
ment organ, the Didrio do Brazil. on
June II, 1884: Total and immediate
emancipation not only will ruin the
planters but will also break our banks,
and bring about the failure of most of
our commercial houses" Again:
"And to what will the imperial reve-
nues descned? To what humiliation
shall we not be subjected through not
being able to satisfy the obligation of
our external debt? The example of
modern Egypt is not of the most edify-
ing and satisfactory kind"
Senator Saraiva, ex-prime minister,
and considered one of the most promi-
nent statesmen in Brazil, on being
commanded by the empe rior to form
ministry on the resignation of a for
mer one in June last, begged his ma
jesty to excuse him, because he felt un-
BILE to organize "a strong and lasting
one, capable of resolving in satisfac-
tory way the grave questions relative
to slavery, which were being agitated
both in and out of parliament. (Djdrto
do Brazil, oath June, 18SG.
Another senator, st. Martinho de
Campos, ex-prime minister of the lib
eral party, warned the present prime
minister (who is partly inclined to be
an abolitionist) "that abolitionist prin-
ciples were very fascinating, and conse-
quently dangerous. He regretted that
the government polytechnic school
altogether missed its aim in promoting
abolition, which the orator considered
would be a disaster" Again, the
same journal, in it's number of 26th
June, says in an article on "Bank
Dividends and Abolition of Slavery
That owing to the spread of aboli-
ZIONIST principles, the value of agri-
cultural property had tremendously
decreased, so much so that the banks
did not know what value to set on the
securities they held
Such is the daily tenor of the articles
in all the principal papers in the three
chief provinces of the empire, occasion
ally varied by call for immigrants.
Returning to Mr.. Waring, it is not
surprising, considering his little knowl-
edge of Brazil. that he fell into the
error of supposing the emancipation
of all the slaves in the province
of Ceara would be taken as an earnest
of the phllanthropic. sentiment exist
ing in that province; on the contrary,
it may be described as an atfront to
the other provinces, especially to the
middle and southern ones, to precipi
tate emancipation after sending as
many slaves as possible to be sold in
the south, and the more especially
after, but few years ago, receiving
f5, 900, 900 or more to help them during
the terrible famine that occurred il
Ceara owing to drought. Somuch fol-
