Facts About Peru.

Editor Constitution: Inquiries which
reach me. from time TO time. show that
many erroneous Impressions have ex-
istef TIL recently as to Peru cat least
in Europe), not merely in regard to the
political. financial and economic situation
in the republic, but also In respect of
It's physical characteristics
Peru is often spoke of as the Little
Republic" Relatively to the United
States Of North America that is true, but
the fact remains that Peru has an area
approximately six times that Of the
United Kingdom OF Great Britain and
Ireland. or three and a half times that
Of Germany.
What the republic needs Is more popu-
lation, the density of which Is as i to
70 compared with that of Great Britain
and ireland and as l to 60 compared
with that Of Germany; more industrial
and agricultural activity for which the
opportunities are many and immense,
and more capital employed in developing
the natural riches SO plentifully bestowed
upon 1t.
The emigrant who needs to choose his
climate cannot fail to find in Peru a set
tiement fitting his requirements at any
part of the temperature scale; enterprlS-
Ing manufacturers may find facilities tor
the employment of their skill unrlVaileo
In any other state; the capitalist has
magnificent opportunities for the invest
ment of his wealth. and its profitable
employment.
Perul also offers exceptional opportuni-
ties to scholarly gentlemen, with a lit
tie capital. to establish more private
colleges and schools for the study of the
English language.
Politically considered Peru offers every
security which accompanies stability or
purpose and q wide franchise; In munich
bal and taxation matters there Is elias

,ndustries-generosity whilst In respect
of personal liberty there are constitu-
tional guarantees unsurpassed for their

OF your readers. through your courtesy In
giving publicity to this letter, may l
also be permitted to say that l shall be
