Manoel Ferraz de Campos Salles (Portuguese pronunciation: [manuˈew feˈʁaz dʒi ˈkɐ̃pus ˈsalis]; 15 February 1841 – 28 June 1913) was a Brazilian lawyer, coffee farmer, and politician who served as the fourth president of Brazil. He was born in the city of Campinas, São Paulo. He graduated as a lawyer from the Faculdade de Direito do Largo de São Francisco, São Paulo, in 1863. He served as a provincial deputy three times, general-deputy once, and also as minister of justice (1889-1891), senator and governor of São Paulo (1896–1897). The pinnacle of his political career was his election as president of Brazil, an office he held between 1898 and 1902. Austere financial reforms were adopted during his tenure under Minister of Finance Joaquim Murtinho (December 7, 1848-1911). [1]

He died in São Paulo on 28 June 1913. [2]
