Although we have a roiitricttil at retch
of territory capable of producing auiir,
yet we expend abroad fort about flUO,

Without Koini; into detail it may be
atated that we expend annually at least
fj50,000,000 for purely tropical rrod
ncta, which we cannot raise ourselves.
In a word, from the expansiouista
point of view the acquisition of these
islunda gives us all we have hitherto
lacked iu the way of tropical produc
tions and fills tt long felt want. Aud,
what ia more, while tbey produce the
things we lack aud need the people of

fact, it lies farther to the euxt than any
portion of Maine even aud a hint iu the
latitude of St. Johu, N. li., and while
the Hawaiian group lies between lati
tude 19 aud 'i'i decrees north and Cuba
just south of the tropio of cancer, Porto
Kico lies between 17 aud 1H north, and
its northern coast line is 100 mile:) to
the south of Cuba's southern shores.
Within a little more thuu a thousand
miles of the equator, its southern const
facing the Caribbean sea, its northern
toward the Atlantic, it forms the key
tion iu these seas, with numerous har
bors for the assembling, aud rclittiug of
our fleets, with uuliuiited supplies of
uavul stores, water, fruits and vegeta
ble, rono kioo is of surpassing im
portance. A glance at those natural features of
the island, which make it uot only val
uable property for ns as a national enti
ty, but a potentially lucrative invest
ment individually, is now in order. In
the first place, Porto Kioo is 6 degrees
south of the northern tropio, aud so is
capable of yielding any variety of plant,
fruit or vegetable that the most favored
regiou of equatorial America can pro
duce. In the secoud place, its physical
coutiguratiou is such that it is geueially
exempt from the diseases and draw
backs to which most subtmpio countries
are subject. In other words, it is a
habitable country for the Ahaio-Saxou,
whl.'b cannot always be said of regions
under or near the equator This
owing to the fact that tho island i

few swampy sections.
The central backbone of the island is
a mountain chain which reaches its
greatest altitude of 4,o00fect iu the
peak of the Luquillo Sierra, called I
Vuuque. The chain rises near the Ca
beza de San Juau, iu the extreme north
eastern point of the island. au' extend
throughout the interior, which is
heaved np mass of mountains, hills.
spurs and valleys, dowu from which
run the many streams of the island, es
timated at 1,300 iu uumber.
The length of Porto Rico is variously
given as from VS to 103 miles, aud it
breadth from 80 to 40, but probably a
safe estimate would make it ubout 100
miles in length and Ji5 iu average
breadth, with a totul area of a hint
8,500 square niilea. Though the greater
portiou is hu.y, even mouutuiunus, the
ehrvatious are generally of such a char
acter, with gently loping sides uud
rounded summits, that they are suscepti
ble of cultivation to their very tops. No
more beautiful picture can be imagined
than the aspect of this island as it is
approached from the sea, with the
ranges of hills rolling like billows from
shore to mountain tops, which latter
are mostly forest clad, and thus every
tint of vegetation is seen, from the most
delicate to the deepest shade of green.
To revert to the features which make
the islaud valuable as navul station
Although most of the streams descend
ing from the mountains flow north

most of the good ports are ou the south
