Show rv one of the saddest items of news in the papers is is every now and then an account of the b failure perk of the e crops in different sections of the country how few think when reading of the ravages of a hail storm or of the weavil or the joint worm de desolating fields of grain almost ready for forthe the harvest of ali the toil that cleared the forest foreit logged 12 burnt brush plowed in new soil and sowed bowed the seed or of the hopes that have attended its silent growth an and d all to be swept away at last as it wei were e in a night it is s hard very hard to see the labors ot the year brought to such a sad termination I 1 k I 1 I 1 I 1 in our reflections upon the P position position of the in I 1 I 1 habitants of utah our thoughts often rest on 1 what way may be our best business policy insulated a thou sand miles from all trading communities with a population from various portions of the earth recently thrown together in an unparalleled manner 16 with ith diverse

arti article clel in exchange they would at this sai dale hilve have leen een immensely behind their present position from lie he force of trade alone as the policy of the mother auntry constantly threw the balance of trade against 9 ainest the clo colonies nies which steadily abstracted their noney noncy until there was little in circulation and tence lence no medium medical for home hoine business but an almost Forth worthless less paper currency i by ill ih s mode of trade tile the colonies also had to lay for articles requiring the lightest and best paid I 1 libor bor in those

trade policy of adam smith h lo jo and which oh every nation trading with great Iri britain tain on that policy will suffer while they mccu y any anything like their present relative positions so far

different views of economy entertained by tile politicians of Ut samp country we shall mainly confine confine our re arks to a few points jin in political science which ie deem fixed money is very properly defined I 1 be both a subject and instrument of trade or in her dier words an article of barter and an expression i value or perhaps still plainer a commodity and tool of trade now it is obvious that any or trader who buys more than he sells and to do so until his tools tool sare are parted with to take lake up the balance against him will soon oon become becom e bankrupt and will either be compelled to do without lany essential articles or to procure them with 1 lav at a great disadvantage and a like course will x i in like consequences with a community we 4 a community have
