gun in the campaign of education Linking to the upbuilding and patronizing patron-izing of home industries was flied In fact a whole broadside was discharged When Chairman Grant called them the-m > ctin to order half an hour late there were present in addition to that f gentleman Messrs Cutler A M Grant Morris Levy Culmer Hirsch ing aad Colborn After a full discussion of several important im-portant propositions it was decided upon the suggestion of A M Grant to select an executive committee of three the chairman of the general committee to be a member which shall at once select a secretary and place on fot a number of approved movements which will revive the general Interest in home industries The chairman was authorized to appoint the other two members of the executive committee 1Z com-mittee and will announce their names later The following address was read by B r Grant and received with the li artiest applause The sentiments expressed were most thoroughly endorsed en-dorsed by the bureau What is necessary to compel the citizens of Utah to do something besides be-sides talk and get them to act on mat < rs of vital importance to every man woman and child throughout the entire en-tire territory When Brigham Young was alive he repeatedly told the people of Utah that they had all the material necessary to make them one of the most prosperous and independent communities on earth if they would only make use of the ma tprial that nature had placed at their disposal If such is the case something some-thing must be radically wrong or web we-b would not now have so many able frndJed men appealing to us for a few L days work so they might earn enough tr buy flour for their half starved families Men that know nothing but work men that are not asking alms but a few honest days labor Xow let us make a practical illustration illustra-tion of why we find ourselves in our present financial condition Say for sample the mines in Utah produce 0000 per month This is new money dug from the ground but say in producing t pro-ducing ihis amount it takes 50000 worth of goods and instead of producing pro-ducing them as we did the dollars we snd east and they are imported Now when they are paid for we have 50000 worth of goods but the cast has our WUJQQ new dollars Now asour mines are all closed down and we must import im-port the same amount of goods as when they were being worked we find ourselves short of the amount required to pay for these goods but we must have them or we cannot exist and with 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 loan of 50000 secured by a trust deed on all we have on earth and when we have secured this loan we are compelled com-pelled to return it east to pay for these goods we have just imported Now you can figure out for yourselves what > oir borrowing capacity is and then you will know just how long it will r take for the east to own you body and soul r Say we patronize and build up home Industries and manufacture these goods at home What would the result then be Our merchants would Jay oO000 to the home factories which in turn would pay it to the different firms furnishing them their material and to their employees Now the hands employed in producing the ma terial added to those enployed in the factories would all buy their goods from our local merchants and pay for them with the same money the merchants mer-chants paid to our local factories In this way we have furnished employ ment for our now idle men in manu facturing 50000 worth of gooIs we have paid for these goods and still have our 50000 In Utah Do you think 0121 that a community with as much intel ligence as is found in Utah would < require f re-quire any stronger argument or any plainer statement of facts to impress on their minds now and for all time to come the absolute necessity of build ing up and patronizing home industry and using nothing that is imported that can be manufactured at home11 doubt very much if the idle men of this territory who when given a days work and earned a dollar have ever Y given this matter serious thought enough so that when they go to the store they io not buy the imported goods instead of the home manufactured manufac-tured turedow 1 ow is me ume to stop and reflect and then act Let there be a public appeal made to every citizen in this tc > rrltor and let the territory appeal be so general K gen-eral that we would feel ashamed to let cur neighbors or friends ee us buying fer using an imported article when a r similar one is manufactured at home I appeal to the ladies and say do not 4 reid to the store and say send me a 1 pair of shoes a yard of flannel a pair of hose a bar of soap a broom ten pounds of sugar and in sending this 1 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 and if 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 houso should use this same plan and t sp < Hify that so far as possible they 4 desire the home manufactured goods Si By all making a united effort in carry it ing out this plan in one year you would find a city of smoke stacks and all our men boys and girls working in factories and our financial con lition A > would < be flourishing and prospering L Wdll we all unite in doing this and will we do it right now Now Is the golden opportunity Never in the history his-tory of Utah was there such a demand for a united action on this subject as at present I say that the governor and mayor of Salt Lake city should call a mass meeting and that the mayor of every city In Utah should t follow their example and appeal to every citizen in this territory to con sider himself chosen as a committee of one to carry out this plan Appealing Appeal-ing to all royal citizens to give their support in this important and worthy move I am for Utah and her home industries in-dustries After the applause had subsided a S neral discussion rf the all important 1 jnatter of home industries and their support followed It was an Interest C i1 I e I king t subject and every member of theJ ccmmitlee is now thoroughly aroused I to the fact that this is the time for i action Another meeting will be held as soon as the committee has been selected I se-lected and gets Into proper working order |
