Salt Lake is the natural smeltiug, manufacturing and commercial commer-cial center of the entire inter-uiouutnin region, aud it should at least command, iu time, all the trade between Arizona and British Columbia aud all the way to the coast. Not a ton of ore iu all that vast region should be permitted to be pulled past our doors. In time, we ought to manufacturesevery pouud of steel rails used between here and California. Cali-fornia. Not only this, but we ought to sell every pound of sugar and coffee, every yard of calico and suit of clothes to the people within the limits mentioned. But in order to make a great center of the kind proposed, it is necessary to get the people here, aud in order to do that we must give thein something to do to support themselves. Eternal vigilance vig-ilance may bo the price of liberty, but eternal rustle is the secret of success. The way to insure the prosperity of this city, therefore, is to encourage manufacturers in every way possible. Let the streets, morning and night, be crowded with a moving throng of members mem-bers of the bucket brigade.
