Exploiting Porto Rico

Governor Colton has recently .re
 ur-eu to .orto Rico, after spendiny several weeks in the Capital and otter portions of the states, where his priiI- cipal purpose has been direct attention to the rich commercial advantages ps ne Island. He has had insts.ied ia New York what is known as the"Porto Rico Ex iibit," and the idea that Bo- 2 hing but cyclones and pestilence gre +'raised" on the Island, is dispelled by the amazing display of grains. fruits, vege ables, etc. Governor Colton as serts that Porto Rico is one of the gar den spots of the western hemisphere and with stab form of government such as now exists, he feels sure that by drawing attention to the Isisnd. mat American capital and settlers may be induced to participate in the upbullding of Porto Rico.
