They pay more for their work in the

Another thing that is paying well is
fruit This is new industry for Porto
Rico It amounted to practically Moth
ing at the time we took hold OF the
island, something ike 100000 worth OF
oranges being annually exported. Now
the orange exports alone amount to six
times that sum, and the total fruit ex-
ports are something like $2,0O0.000
year
We are now taking $500, 600 worth OF
fresh pineapples from Porto Rico every

in our markets Some Of them are as
big as peck measures, and they are

grow all over Porto Rico. one sees
great beds of them in the valleys and
They are not carefully cultivated and

creased enormously, and il viii COM

year out Of his cOcOanut orchard.
This business is easy. The nuts are
laid out on the ground and after a
short time each sends down a sprout
from one of the little eyes at ats end.
At the same time a root shoots out and

100000 or little more has increased 10
over 1000 600 and the whole atmos-
phere is full Of prosperity and progress.
The cities are growing san Juan has
now $4,000, Ponce $4,000, Mayaguez IS
goo and Caguas 10000. Nevertheless the
majority Of the people still live out in
the country, less than One-tenth OF
them being in cities Of 10000 or over
The density Of population IS now SO

of a since 1893.
Business is Booming.
The business Of the island is grow
ing faster than that Of any other Of the
West Indies, and faster than most parts
Of the United States. The Porto Ricans
used to buy almost altogether Of Eu-
rope. They now trade with US, and we
have IS percent Of their commerce.
During the past year the foreign trade
increased 10 percent or more than Sl0,-
600. 600 The Porto Ricans bought from
the United States during that time more
than S34,000.000 worth of American
goods. and they sold almost that much
q their home produce to US. AS It is
now, there are only. six or eight cOun-
tries Of the world to which we sell more
than we do to Porto Rico, and these are
the United Kingdom, Germany, France,
Belgium, Holland and Italy. The Porto
Ricans buy more from us than does
either Russia, Spain, Austria. China,
Japan or Turkey Take out the Argen-
tine, and they buy more than all South
America They buy three times as
much as the British East Indies, and
far more than either Japan or China
Their trade is worth about twice that
OF Africa and great deal more than
that Of the Philippines. Moreover, the
business IS steadily growing, and it in
creased more than $1,000 600 in 1910.
AS 10 the home business Of the COun-
try, that is exceedingly prosperous.
Thirty Two new corpora tons were or
gantzed last year. and the year before
that there were more than 100 home
corporations fin existence, with an au-
thorized capital Of s22,0O0,000, while
the foreign corporations registered had
an authorized capital Of over $500 000-
600. with a paid IN capital Of over $685.
100000. Last year % new foreign cor
porauons were organized, and their
capital was S11,000,O00.
The Wealth Of the Porto Rieans.
When was in Porto Rico the. peopIe
were taxed to death. The assessments
were high and everything under the sun
had TO pay. Today the taxes have been
cut down and the assessments are com
peratiTely low Nevertheless the value
OF the property has enormously In
creased. Tt is now assessed at SILL
000,000, and, this is estimated to be
SIS, 900 below the actual value The
per capita wealth OF the island is now
about 5000, or $1,000 per family Of five.
Take a tropical island where, on the
average, If the wealth were divided,
every family would receive $1,000, and

Another difficulty is the rains, which
are so frequent that the coffee Is liable

I understand that the Porto Ricans
are about organizing a campaign to
Introduce this coffee into the United
States. They have already established
offices in New York. and will probably
have exhibition rooms in our different
cities.
