And what L'tah needs is this capital, not to buy up everything, ln-i'Omo ni:Kt'T of all the works and the workmen, but fo aid in develop ment, and ivceive as a profit a rate, of per centagcj which laughs at th interest in-terest prescribed by usury laws anywhere any-where in the country. In regawl to this thing of capital, ils objects and position, we take the following from a speech by Lieutenant Governor Black, of Illinois, delivered at the last celebration of Independence Independ-ence Day at Urhana, in that State. We clip from the Chicago Times: l!ut, wivi nnutlier, eiiiitul is our ln-t friend. .See how it has di:vi:lopixl our lvsoums, Imilt up our wii.-te pi net-.-, uiul niml.-our di-'crts to b!o--uiif as the roo.

Our mlere-ts nn; idenlieal, wo propo.-e no war upon it. Winnie Wi-nnie n-k, please, be our servant and not lord. The more we have of you the. belter bel-ter we like you, but the more you have of us the worse otf we are. Don't buy our legislature and our rights, and thus en--eouee yourself behind Ihe eontraets you have pureh:iMil. Come to us in milled dollars, in bonds, in improved farms, in prosperous and growing eities, in any .-IlilllL- 1UU BIll.UUlUUIlBICUIII "-vl "J" '"H aid, not as our ta.-enting muster. I'any us and we will pay you, feed us and we will Cay yi.u, sere us and we will pay you; u"t attempt to rule us and we will rebel. It is somewhat unusual to read or hear such sentiments; yet there is no iueslion that the per centage to be derived from investments is the inducement in-ducement which attracts capital anywhere. any-where. Now, Uta.li oilers more than the ten per cent, named by General Black. In a place where loans carry eighteen to twenty-four per ecnl., as they do here, business: ventures and the aiding of legitimate enterprises often bring a great deal more, with tbe same risks attending investments elsewhere. For these reasons we have no hesitation in extending an invitation to capitalists to "come over and see us;" sec the country, what has leen done; and if they do so, much of the timidity of which the Now York Times speaks will rapidly disappear. |
