Show 1 OF VITA IMPOETANCB The following addes wa read by B o F Grant and received with the wlh heartiest applause The sentiments expressed were most thoroughly endorsed en-dorsed bjr the bureau What is necessary to compel the citizens of Utah to do something besides be-sides talk and get them to act on matters mat-ters of vital importance to every man woman and child throughout the en tire territory When Brigham Yourg was alive he repeatedly told the people of Utah that they had all the material necessary to Take them one of the most prosperous and independent communities on earth if they would only make use of the ma terial that Mature had placed at their disposal I such i the case some some thing must be radically wrong or we would not now have so many able bodied men appealing to us for a few days work so they might earn enough to buy flour for their half starved families Men that know nothing but work men that are not asking dims hut a few honest days labor Now let us make a practical illustra practcal iustr tion of why we finjl ourselves in our present financial condition Say for namPle the mine in Utah produce SoOOOO per month This is new money dug from the ground but say in pro ducing this amount it takes 50000 worth of goods and instead of pro ducing them as we did the dollars we send eajst and they are imported Now wh > n they are pafd for we have 50000 worth of goods but the east ba our SOOOu new dollars Now as our mines are all closed down and we must import im-port the same amount of goods as wh n they were being worked we find ourselves short of the amount required to pay foi these goods but we must nae them or we cannot exist and must this showing we are compelled to send east to the manufacturers we have been sending our money to for years and years and beg of them to make us a r loa of 50000 secured by a trust deed on aI we have on earth and when we hae secured this loan we are com lulled to return i east to pay for these COD goods we have just imported Now you can figure out for yourselves what your borrowing capacity is and then you will know just how long it will wi takp for the east to own you body and soul Say we patronize and build up home Industries and manufacture these goods athome What would the result thi bp Our merchants J would fnn mClchans pay SoOOOO to the home factories lay V 5000 tori s whkh in turn would pay it to the different firms furnishing them their material and to their employees materia terial hands added employed in Producing the te tErla to those employed in the factories would all buy their goods from our local merchants and pay for them with the same motj y the mer chant paid to our local factories In this way we have furnished employ ment for our row idle men in manu facturing 50000 worth of gooIs we have paid for these goods > and still I have our 50000 in Utah Do ou think that a community with as much intel ligence as is found in Utah would re I quire any stronger argm W0tlr < 1 any re plainer statement of facts to impress on their minds now and for all time to come the absoute necessity al build buid Ing up and patronizing home industry and using nothing that is imported that can be manufactured at imprted doubt very much i the idle mm of this territory who when rrtry given a days work and earned a dollar have ever given this matter serious thought enough s that when they go though store they do not buy the imported goods instead of the home manufac manufac tured Now is the time to stop and reflect and then act Let there lie a public appeal made to every citizen publc territory and let the appeal be so gen eral that we would feel ashamed to let Y4 our neighbors or friends < ee us buying or using MI imported article when a similar one i < manufactured at home 1 appeal t the ladies and say do not send la the store and say send t stre me a pair of shoes a yard of flannel a pair ofhose a liar of soap a broom ten pounds of sugar and in sending this order to leave it to the discretion of the merchant what to send but demand of him with a great big D home made articles and take no other ad mae you receive imported return them to him and If he does not carry them go to the one who does Merchants from the country in order ing their goods from the wholesale house should use this same plan and specify that s far as possible they desire the home manufactured goods By all making a united effort in carry ing out this plan in one year you crr would find a city of smoke stacks and all t our men boys and girls working in f ctories and our financial condition conditon would be flourishing and prospering wail we all unite i > doing this and l will we do it right now Now is the golden opportunity Never in the history I his-tory of Utah was there such a demand I for a united action on this subject acton a at present r say that the governor te goeror and mayor of Salt Lake city should i call 8 mass meeting and that the mayor of every city in Utah should follow their example and appeal to every citizen in this territory t pon OI slder himself chosen as a committee of one to carry out this plan Anneal ing t all royal citizens to give their support in this important gve supprt importnt worthy move I am for Utah and her home in dustries |
