THE AMAZON AND THE ATLANTIC SLOPES OF
SOUTH AMERICA.—No. 4.
Bolivia has but one seaport on the Pa
cific. That is Cobijn, an open roadstead,
and a miserable village, at the head of the
of Atacama. Tho land trans
portation between this port and the agri
cultural districts of the republic is too rough
100 tedious, and eyer to ad
mit of its bccorning'tt etWinercial empori
um. The direction'iiuvhich Bolivia looks
for an outlet to market for her produce is
along her navigable water-courses that
empty into the Amazon, and then down
that stream into the sea, where the winds
and the currents are such as to require
that produce to pass by our doors.
Bolivia understands this, und her Presi
dent has expressed tho most earnest dc-
I sire to draw closely the bonds of friend
ship, commerce and navigntiog which are
destined to bind his country ,to.this.-
Bolivia, we have seep, owns navigable,
streams that are tributary Loth to the Ama
I zon and La Plata. The free air of hcav
|on and the glad waters of the earth were
| put here by the Almighty for the wcll-be
! ing of mankind. Use without exhaustion
is the only condition annexed by the laws
of man to the air and water being consid
. ered us the common property of the world.
! Have not, therefore, Bolivia and the
seven other independent nations that own
i navigable streams empling into the Ama
zon or the La Plata, but which do not own
i its mouth, the right to follow and to “use
i without exhaustion”.each its own naviga
ble .waters to the sea? And does not the
| “policy of commerce” require the enforce
i ment of that fight, so far as it concerns
unyornil of tho eight upland nations which
■ may wish to trade, with us and the rest of
1 tl\o world through those natural channels
I and commercial highways ?
1 This is one of tho questions that I pro
! pose to consider. But before showing who
it is that by a Japanese policy here at our
doors in shutiing out commerce from the
finest portion of the world. I wish to show
that the free navigation of the. Amazon is
an abstraction, but that thero aro now
there,- in actual existence, all the elements
l of profitable, large, and growing com-
J mcrce, and that therefore the question is
i one of practical importance. 1 will.there
| fore speak of the productions of this inldr
! esting—l had almost said classic—land.
In the Puna country of Bolivia we find
, tho linma, the vicuna, and the alpara.—
Immense flocks of/sheep feed in its pas
tures and lie down upon its hills.
My friend, Lieutenant Gibbon, who
about two years ago was sent with Lieut.
Herndon by the Navy Department to ex
‘ plore the Amu zon from its sources to its'
| mouth, writes thut it is a. wool-growing
country ; that immense flocks of sheep are
; tended there. Indeed he says the country
is over-populated.
Speaking a few weeks since with a
' northern manufacturer upon this subject
!he informed me that he. had thon just
bought 100,000 worth of this Puna wool,
which, instead of coming down the Ama-1
zon, in sight of which almost it was clip
ped, this Jnpnnese policy that kueps the
mouth of the river closed, had compelled
it to go up into the region of the clouds, in
order that it might cross the Andes and
reach the free waters of the Pacific, Its
voyage was then around Cape Horn to
Boston. '

but the slightest care.' ; ThccUcao, recortt
ly introduced into these two provinces,
bears in three or four years at most. The
tamarind, which succeeds in the same lo
calities, but especially in the country of
Chuquitos, requires five years, 1
“Cotton yields annual crops : there are
two species—the white and the yellow.
“Tobacco' grows, so t 6 speak, without
cultivation in tho province of Valle-Gran!

cultivated species and one wild, iscqually
abundant. Maze, ripens in threo months, 1
without regurd toikeuson. ~ It is cultivated
more particularly in thoiprovinco of Cer
cudo. ■ -
“The Cassada produces in eight months
after planting. There are two species of
it—the one sweet, the other bitter; the for
mer is a substitute for the potato,und even
for bread itself—the latter serves only to
muko starch. There arc many varieties
or species of bananas, which produce a
year after planting. They are cultivated
especially in the province of Cercado.—
Two species of rice—white und- red—are
cultivated, both in the province of Cercado
and Chuquitos, yielding crops every five
or six months. It is said to grow wild in
tho country of Chuquitos. •
“Thu vine, which flourishcs.partioularly
in tho province of Cordillera, where it was
cultivated in tho missions until the epoch
oflndependencc, is not now made use of.
It will, perhaps, hereafter be one of the
principal products of that country.
“Wheat, barley, fcnd the potato, could
bo cultivated with advantage in the provin
ces of Chuquilos and Cordillera, but at
this time they are neglected, except in tho
province of Valle-Grande. The culture
of coca has commenced in the* province of
Cercndo, where it is found wild ; so also
tho quinquina on the mountains of the 6a*
maipata. As already mentioned, fruit
abounds in this region—-oranges, lemons,
citrons,figs,pApayus, pomgrunates.musU*
melons, wotcr-melons, chirimayas, (which
the Brazilians call fruita da oonde,).pine
